Infertility becomes an ever more important health and psychosocial problem not only in the dying out European population. Evermore effective methods are being searched for, which should help solve the problem. The Czech Republic has an original physiotherapeutic method, the effect of which was demonstrated: the method by Mojžíšová. The method is relatively old but it is still seldom used in the Czech Republic. Foreigners interested in the treatment are encountered, but the method is not available in their countries. The target of the present work was to describe the method and possibilities of its use. The input data were results of studies investigating the method efficacy and the qualitative research of psychosocial problems associated with involuntary lack of children, which was carried out by the author of the method and published in her monograph On the Quest for a Child.
The principle of the method by Mojžíšová is the fact that there are reflex relationships between the spine and internal organs. The human body is considered as a system, where dysfunction in its one part affects its other parts. The therapy is based on an intervention into the neuromuscular apparatus of the fundus of the uterus with the help of special exercise performed every day and intervention provided every month by a physiotherapist having a special training. The efficacy of the method is repeatedly supported not only in infertility (about 30%), but also in dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and vertebral problems. The method is cheap, exerts no adverse side effects and possesses a big psychotherapeutic potential. It is definitely an important part of the biopsychosocial approach to reproduction medicine. For those, who are interested in the method, web sites are available in English: www.mojzis-methods.com.
