ELDOA stands for elongation longitudinaux avec decoaption osttoArticulaire, or LOADS (longitudinal osteo-articular de-coaptation stretching). This system of exercises, which work specifically on the spine at every intervertebral level and include the costal and pelvic articulations, was developed by Guy Voyer in Europe more than 30 years ago. They can be described as fascial stretch that localizes tension at the level of a specific spinal segmental.
The ELDOA has been derived from a large variety of treatment techniques, including those of Niederhoffer, Kabat, Brunnstrom, Bobath, Meziere, and Struyf-Denys. All of these remedial approaches hold in common the analysis of movement in the body and its effect on the spine.
Effects of ELDOA: The immediate effects of the ELDOA exercises can be described both locally and generally Longer-range secondary effects are also described.
Local Effects:
• Decompression of the superior and inferior zygopophyseal joints, alluwing for more space, joint play, and range of motion. In the case of arthrosis or osteoarthritis, this eases stress and may help limit degeneration.
