What is the 4 times T method?
The 4 times T method was developed by Physio Pysics. The method is used in the treatment of orthopedic joint problems such as back, neck and knee problems. During treatment, the connective tissue is restored and the mechanics in the joints are improved. As a result, you experience less to no pain and can move more easily. The 4 times T method does not focus on the cause, but looks for the solution of the problem. The 4 times T method is suitable for joint complaints of:
- Back

Neck

Treatment
The 4 times T method consists of four steps.
Test
It is observed how the painful connective tissue feels and in which direction it wants to form. In this way, the preferred direction of treatment technique is determined.
Tape
Taping techniques are used to direct connective tissue in the right direction.
trigger
The muscles are “awakened” using various connective tissue techniques.
train
The muscles are trained to strengthen and repair the body. This occurs once the body is pain free after the previous stages.
Why is the 4 times T method effective?
Traditional physical therapy focuses on the treatment of muscles. Muscles, bones and connective tissue are seen as separate structures. In the 4 times T method, the focus is not on the muscles, but on the fascia. Fascia is the central connective tissue that surrounds all bones, joints, muscles and organs and connects everything together. Adhesions of the fascia change the tensile and compressive forces, slowing movements, weakening muscles and causing pain.
The 4 times T involves determining which technique, location of technique, direction of technique and intensity is most effective before it is applied. Exercises are also pre-tested as to what the positive direction is before an exercise is done. This makes the 4 times T method very effective. Symptoms such as pain, muscle tension, instability or muscle weakness are not treated, the cause of the complaint is identified and addressed.
