S.S. Shichalev CANONS OF HEALTH FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF KINESIOLOGY AND REFLEXOTHERAPY
Health Center for Kinesiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Kurgan, Russia

Modern medicine is the science of diseases. About health it knows almost nothing. Not each man with normal laboratory indexes is healthy or vice versa. Researchers are trying balance between pre-disease and disease working out the methods of early diagnosis. However, mo matter on what stage a disease is stated, it is already there, which means a flaw in the integrative system “human body” and its progressing is just the matter of time. More effective would be to determine the parameters of health and preserve them. Kurgan Center for Kinesiotherapy and Rehabilitation has made an attempt to do it.

As basis for the search kinesiotherapy by S.M.Bubnovsky was chosen. It affirms that each muscle of the healthy body should contract freely and painlessly along the full amplitude and with proper intensivity. Normally human muscles easily cope with the body weight. Then we correlated the contracted muscles with reflexotherapeutical meridians and biologically active points (BАP). This enabled to monitor functional conditions of internal organs according to the state of the corresponding muscles and directly impact on target-organs by the method of kinesiotherapy. So a muscle or a group of muscles that does not live up to necessary attributes of strength, elasticity, homogeneity and painlessness is being working out at corresponding fitness equipment with the given amplitude of the movement, trajectory and load. The period of achieving the norm depends on age, health condition and patient’s motivation and makes from 2 weeks to 2 months. There is a crisis period characterized by weakness, enhancing of pain, set-back of the chronic pathology and a corresponding restructuring of homeostasis: growth of muscle mass with the parallel growth of capillaries and nerve endings, rise in activity of all ferments, acidosis due to salt disappearance and fat burning. Crisis may last from a day till a month, 20% of the patients without real signs of deteriorating of the condition give up the course because of angst or feeling of discomfort. Muscles as diagnostic attribute possess a large range of conditions corresponding to the harmony of meridian system which means health as a whole.

Consequently to keep the body healthy is not too difficult. The analysis of oriental physical practices (yoga, tsigun, ushu, taidzitsuan) showed that elaborate movements and postures work out all the meridians, in all possible modes of muscular functions rewarding the practitioner with a long life and a high quality of life. The same effect was achieved due to kinesiotherapy, which is carried out under comfortable for a western man conditions of a gym or fitness studio but with the consideration of the basic principles of Orient. Thus it is possible to impact points and meridians by accumulation of muscle strain and relaxation, contraction and stretching at different combinations and modes in the same way as by acupuncture and acupressure. But by these self-produced movements stimulate neuromuscular joints; subcortical elements and cerebral cortex, which prolongs the therapy effect. Thus, the patient gains confidence, his fears are gone, he behaves himself as a healthy man, his value system undergoes correction as well. This facilitates the development of preventive medicine, from which each citizen benefits as well as the state.
