Orthokinesis®: The Exclusive Postural Re-education of Studio Belig in Florence
The union of Chiropractic and Movement Control
Our patented method to reprogram movement, eliminate deep tension and keep the body healthy over time.
Orthokinesis® was born from an insight of Camilla Pistilli, drawing on the knowledge that took her to the highest levels of a dance career: deep knowledge of the body, a sense of balance, breath control and acute proprioception.
Created as a specific response to the need to educate the body toward correct posture, Orthokinesis® is the indispensable active ally of chiropractic treatment. If chiropractic restores correct movement, Orthokinesis® "teaches" the muscles and nervous system how to maintain that realignment over time.
The 3 Pillars of the Orthokinesis® Method
Realignment and Deep Muscle Activation
Through guided exercises and specific supports, we work on the deep muscles that support the spine. The body finds a more natural alignment, with greater flexibility and stability.
Neuromuscular Connection and Proprioception
Every exercise trains the body to perceive how it moves and how it is positioned in space. With practice, you learn to correct your posture yourself in everyday movements.
A Tailor-Made Path, Step by Step
Exercises are chosen and adapted to your body and your starting level. Difficulty increases gradually, so that every improvement is solid and sustainable over time.
Some of Our Resolved Cases
Starting Point:
Due to a lumbar disc herniation, our patient had been living for over three months with a debilitating limitation: he could no longer do the most natural thing in the world, lie flat on his back (supine position) in bed.
Impact on Daily Life:
Persistent pain made restful sleep impossible. Constantly searching for a position free from sharp pain, he was ultimately forced to sleep sitting upright in an armchair, leading to chronic exhaustion and ongoing compensatory muscle tension.
What We Did:
We targeted the root cause of the problem rather than just the painful spot, combining chiropractic care with our Orthokinesis® program.
The Result Today:
The patient can now lie comfortably on his back without pain or restriction and has regained natural, uninterrupted sleep in bed. Restoring proper spinal mobility means taking back your quality of life.
Starting Point:
A young age and two conditions at once: a herniated disc and scoliosis. Two diagnoses that feel even heavier when you have your whole life ahead of you.
Impact on Daily Life:
Pain and postural instability had progressively restricted every typical teenage activity: having to give up volleyball and physical education at school, right down to being unable to sit at a school desk or study table without continuous sharp pain.
What We Did:
A rehabilitation pathway tailored specifically to her spine rather than a generic protocol. It combined targeted chiropractic care with guided exercises designed to be continued at home.
The Result Today:
She is back to sitting through classes pain-free, tackles her daily routine with ease, and has even returned to backpacking trips, regaining her freedom and full confidence in her body.
