WHAT IS DBC?
DBC DOCUMENTATION BASED CARE – is an evidence based Finnish physiotherapy and active rehabilitation protocol concentrates on neck, shoulder, lower back and knee problems.
A decade ago bed rest was recommended as the standard treatment, whereas now, an active approach is known to be more effective. DBC works on the concept of active muscle reconditioning programme.
The DBC concepts are recognized by medical doctors, specialist and insurance companies around the world
HOW CAN DBC EXERCISES IMPROVE CONDITON?
Muscles are the primary line of defense against trauma and overstraining of the ligaments, joints and other soft structures. Activation and reconditioning of the muscles will improve movement controls and co ordination. Scientific clinical studies show convincing evidence for the effect of exercises in reducing pain and normalizing function . The DBC treatment concept differs from conventional strengthening exercises offered by gyms and fitness centres. DBC programme also addresses other clinical elements like endurance, core stability, co-ordination and balance control. This is essential for achieving the ultimate goal of freedom from pain and improved function.

The pre and post assessment in DBC will cover the measurement for the range of motion in degrees. Electromyography (EMG) as muscle monitor devices to read muscle activities and psychological profiles.Studies have shown that more than two years after the completion of the programme , 80% of individuals who remained active after the programme, were not limited by pain in their daily activities or at work.
