Overview

This paper deals with the theory of tendon-muscle pathways of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the use of meridian exercises in physiotherapy. On a deliberately selected sample of 30 probands aged 19 to 55 years meeting the set criteria, the effect of exercises is determined for non-specific pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. The pilot prospective study compares the intensity of the pain in individual areas of the back before the start of a 4-week exercise cycle at least 3 times a week and after the end of the exercise cycle. After a series of meridian exercises, there was a statistically significant reduction in pain in the cervical spine M 0.67; P = 0.04; in the area of the thoracic spine M 1.03; P = 0.02 and at the level M 1.03; P = 0.001 in the area of the lumbar spine. The frequency of pain during the week decreased on average by 0.93, P = 0.00. The pilot study clearly confirmed the positive effect of meridian exercises on reducing the intensity of pain in individual areas of the back and on reducing the frequency of perceived pain. The elaborated topic has the perspective of elaboration in the level of physiotherapeutic procedures and their use for various diagnoses or from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine and the influence of meridian exercises on individual elements, i.e. organ systems.
