ELDOA is a French acronym that translated stands for Stretching in the longitudinal axis to create decoaptation (separation) of the osteo-articular joints. It is a revolutionary rehabilitative technique that involves decompressing and strengthening a targeted joint segment. The technique was developed by world-renowned French osteopath Guy VOYER.

HOW ELDOA™ works?

The ELDOA is an active strengthening techniques that uses self-induced global myofascial tension in specific postures. Each posture is linked to a specific joint segment when the lower part of the joint segment is fixated while the upper part is mobilized. There are specific ELDOA exercise for all spinal segments, the costo-transverse joints, sterno-clavicular joints, sterno-costal articulations, the gleno-humeral joints, the hip joints and the sacroiliac joints.
