title: [Physical medicine and sports].
abstract: In the treatment of sportsmen where one of the essential requirements is a rapid and accurate diagnosis with effective therapy which reduces the period of rest and immobilization, knowledge from the sphere of manual medicine is a great asset. In addition to manipulation procedures proper which call for accurately defined conditions and practice, it is possible to apply a wide range of reflex methods and mobilization to achieve favourable therapeutic results in predominantly functional disorders of the locomotor apparatus. These efforts have their limitations and possibilities and in some instances it is necessary to seek in addition to impaired function also more serious diseases or damage caused by repeated microtraumas.
