ZRT® Matrix Therapy – Indications and Applications
The ZRT® Matrix Therapy is a therapeutic method, developed by Dr. B. Dickreiter, based on a set of techniques which were already established in the former USSR and Eastern Germany as a form of physiotherapy for athletes. It was found that athletes treated with ZRT® Matrix Therapy experienced great benefits in recovery following training and competition. Their rate of injury decreased, especially in the muscles and tendons (the “musculoskeletal system”).
