The Front to Back approach was developed by Aileen Jefferis as to the role of the iliopsoas muscle, in conditions including chronic low back pain, upper back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other peripheral joint dysfunctions and pain. This approach considers muscles to be the primary cause of joint pain and dysfunction as Myofascial Trigger points (tight spots in muscle) as the primary cause of muscle pain and dysfunction as they cause the muscle to shorten, weaken and refer pain to other areas of the body. Treatment incorporates Trigger Point Pressure Release (formerly known as acupressure) and other hands-on techniques to release the trigger points in the involved muscles and restore normal movement. Stretching, exercises and self-management strategies are given to enhance treatment effect, prevent reoccurrences and maximise function.. The emphasis of this treatment approach is to encourage self-management of conditions through accurate diagnosis, treatment and the provision of individualised self-management protocols and education. The Front to Back approach has been used to effectively treat back pain, neck pain and headaches along with most musculoskeletal conditions for 24 years. All treatments are performed by qualified physiotherapists (1 on 1) and last for 45-60 minutes to allow for thorough diagnosis, treatment and to maximises the treatment effect. Staff
