Research supports the effectiveness of a kinesiology-based method to treat lower back pain, say study authors.

Low back pain is the leading cause of late-life disability, affecting nearly 700 million globally. Those suffering from low back pain can now find relief through the scientifically supported Canali Postural Method (CPM) in the prevention of postural dysfunctions, and in post-rehabilitation functional recovery aimed at optimizing physical efficiency.

Therapists evaluated and compared the effects of applying two kinesiological approaches; a generic exercise program and one based on CPM. They found that the CPM group experienced significantly greater pain relief both immediately after the intervention (4 weeks) and at the 3-month follow-up. Disability perception decreased in both groups, with the CPM group showing a greater improvement at follow-up.

In addition to pain reduction, participants showed measurable improvements in postural alignment, with a noticeable rebalancing of load distribution and increased symmetry in the postural parameters analyzed.

Antonio Giordano said, "The scientific validation of innovative methods is essential. The Canali Postural Method proves to be a promising tool to address a significant social and economic issue such as chronic low back pain."

"The research activity conducted was aimed at experimenting with solutions to achieve and maintain optimal psychophysical well-being and, in this specific case, to provide effective answers to socially and economically significant problems such as chronic low back pain," said Saverio Sabina, lead author of the study and researcher at CNR.

"In rehabilitation, we are constantly seeking innovative strategies and programs to address spinal and general musculoskeletal problems. The Canali Method proves to be a technique capable of supporting pain resolution and functional recovery in all conditions related to overload and postural imbalance," said Patrizia Maiorano, physiatrist.

The best information I can find is from "Move-Me." It says,

"MOVE-ME is an innovative software solution for posture management which, in collaboration with Postura and Sport, exclusively applies the Canali method.

MOVE-ME Canali detects and corrects postural problems and can be used at all levels in the sports and healthcare fields. It allows you to graphically display rather complex concepts to transmit and compare, and to understand the real inconveniences of the person, often at the basis of the overloads that lead to pain. This, through the objective evidence of postural positionings, muscle components, and compensatory reflexes in movement, as well as through the deformation of the basic body structures. The solution is based on eResult’s Omniaplace platform."
