Physiotherapy — Functional & Sports

Physiotherapy at WE CARE Liberec is delivered by Lucie Nezkusilová DiS., a qualified physiotherapist and scientific advisor who integrates multiple evidence-based manual therapy methods into each session. The approach combines Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment) framework, Spiral Dynamics, joint mobilisation and manipulation, respiratory physiotherapy, and kinesiotaping. Sessions are tailored to the individual's movement dysfunction, pain presentation, or sport-specific recovery needs rather than following a fixed protocol. The clinic also offers dedicated prevention classes for back pain and joint health using the SM System spiral movement methodology, as well as physio-and-massage combo sessions for clients wanting manual tissue work alongside functional movement correction.

Physiotherapy at WE CARE Liberec draws on a multi-method approach developed by lead physiotherapist Lucie Nezkusilová DiS., who serves as the clinic's scientific advisor and integrates rehabilitative science with functional movement assessment. The 60-minute session follows a structured assessment-treatment-education model: the initial segment establishes the primary dysfunction through active and passive movement testing, palpation, and if relevant, a review of InBody or HRV data from the diagnostic suite. Treatment is then delivered using the most appropriate combination of the following techniques: **Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS):** A Prague School-derived method that uses developmental movement patterns — the positions and movements used by infants as they develop posture control — to recalibrate deep stabilising muscles of the spine (diaphragm, pelvic floor, deep spinal extensors, and transversus abdominis). DNS is used for chronic lower back pain, sacroiliac dysfunction, and postural disorders. **ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy integration):** The physiotherapist at this clinic has training in applying ACT principles to pain management — addressing the psychological relationship with chronic pain and movement avoidance that often perpetuates musculoskeletal dysfunction beyond the structural injury. **Spiral Dynamics:** A method that analyses movement through the spiral and helical muscular chains of the body, identifying where rotational movement is blocked or compensated and correcting it at the relevant joint level. Particularly effective for running injuries and shoulder dysfunction. **Joint mobilisation:** Manual traction, gliding, and oscillatory techniques to restore joint range of motion and reduce pain at the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and cervical/lumbar spine. **Respiratory physiotherapy:** Breathing pattern assessment and retraining, which is often a core component of DNS and is particularly relevant for clients with stress-related tension, core instability, or post-COVID respiratory issues. **Kinesiotaping:** Application of elastic therapeutic tape to support joints, modulate pain, reduce oedema, and facilitate or inhibit muscle activity between sessions. Available as a standalone service at 600 Kč. The SM System — a group or individual prevention class at 500 Kč — uses specific spiral movement sequences to train postural stabilisers in a group setting, suitable for office workers with chronic back or neck complaints. For athletes and active individuals, the clinic offers physio + massage combos (30 min each, 1,400 Kč) that combine manual therapy with soft-tissue work in one appointment. The 4+1 package (7,000 Kč for 5 sessions) is recommended for post-injury or post-surgical rehabilitation courses.
