What is the main objective of the Method of Bad Ragaz?


a) To promote functional movements through voluntary muscle contraction, control of tone, stretching, traction, and muscle strengthening, in order to facilitate the balance between agonist, antagonist, and synergist muscles, aiming at the relearning of functional patterns of movement, better coordination, and balance.
b) To observe the anatomical disposition of our muscles and understand how they align with our diagonal and spiral movements, generating rotation on the joints for the movement to occur.
c) To use isotonic combinations with the patient standing in the pool, transferring weight from the non-compromised to the compromised lower limb and vice versa, as well as oscillating the weight discharge, in order to facilitate walking as early as possible, through the eccentric control of the quadriceps.
d) To increase passive and active joint range of motion, aiming at improving neuromuscular function through resisted movements.
