ERGON Technique INSTUMENT_ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE TECHNIQUE ERGON Technique What is ERGON IASTM Technique? ERGON® Technique is an innovative treatment approach combining static and dynamic soft tissue manipulation with specialized clinical equipment (ERGON Tools), aiming to treat soft tissue restrictions. These techniques are applied in specific points of soft tissue adhesions which, upon release, improve the functionality of the area of the body, in the space of merely a few sessions. The therapeutic effect of ERGON® TECHNIQUE is sustained for many days afterwards, and when combined with other treatment techniques (stretching and functional stabilization techniques) can even become permanent. ERGON Technique What is ERGON IASTM Technique? ERGON®-certified Therapists are able to a) assess with precision myofascial areas of high sensitivity, and b) restore biomechanical function of joints by dissolving adhesions, regaining normal myofascial rolling and reducing muscle spasm and pain. This is a technique based on research data going back many years, and evidenced by clinical practice of specialized physiotherapists. ERGON Technique ERGON Technique is an evidence-based ®IASTM application techniques ERGON Technique What is an ERGON Therapist? Ergon IASTM Therapist is a clinical therapist able to effectively: • Assess potential fascial dysfunctions, • Approach, in a therapeutic manner, areas that cannot be easily reached by human fingers, • Intervene on stiff tissue, • Restore the joints range of motion within the space of a few treatment sessions, • Produce controlled and targeted re-injury in cases of overuse injuries (tendinopathy – injuries due to overuse), • Accelerate tissue healing by activating fibroblasts, • Treat the majority of musculoskeletal and sports injuries, • Apply functional rehabilitation techniques, • Apply combined techniques (ERGON ®Technique and kinesiotherapy) ERGON Technique Clinical applications of ERGON ®IASTM techniques Shoulder joint Tendinopathies Hand Tendinopathies Elbow Tendinopathies (tennis-golfers elbow) Achiles Tendinopathies Pes anserinus tendinopathies Iliotibial band friction Knee tendinopathies Plantar fascitis Muscle strains (subacute/chronic stage) Ligament sprains (remodeling phase) ROM deficits (frozen shoulder, post surgical adhesions, depuytren syndrome) Myofascial Trigger Points – Muscle spasms – Pain syndromes Cervical pain syndromes - Thoracic pain syndromes - Low-back pain -sciatica Nerve injuries (Carpal tunnel syndrome–Ulnar Neuritis) ERGON Technique …with over160 certified ERGON Therapists all over the world ERGON Technique …in collaboration with Universities and clinical centers Educational institutes with research on ERGON technique Technological educational institute of Western Greece European University of Cyprus National Sports Academy Vasil Levski-Faculty of Physiotherapy MSc of rehabilitation sciences Laboratory of Human performance MSc Sports Physiotherapy, PHd Rehabilitation Sciences As a Specialized IASTM course Hospitals and Rehabilitation Center IASO GENERAL HOSPITAL, Athens Greece, Department of physiotherapy AROGI EUROMEDICA, Thessaloniki Greece, Department of Physiotherapy PALLADION, Center or rehabilitation, Tripoli Greece Basic treatment technique Research Basic treatment technique ERGON Technique …applied in many Sports clubs and athletes Professional sports clubs Basketball Teams AEK BC, European Champion League, A1 National Division Korivos BC, A1 National Division Rethymno Cretan Kings, A2 National Division OFI BC, A2 National Division Penteli BC, 2nd National Division Akrata BC,2nd National Division Soccer Teams National Team of Greece National Team of Cyprus Atromitos FC, 1ST National Division Ioannina FC, 1ST National Division AEL FC, 1st National Division of Cyprus Anorthosis FC, 1st National Division of Cyprus Apollon FC, 1ST National Division of Cyprus Volleyball Teams AEK, 1st National Division Elioupolis, 1st National Division Handball Serifato, 1st National Division Futsal All teams of the 1st National Division POLO Olympiakos Waterpolo ERGON Technique Find us on www.ergontechnique.com
