Interview with Mrs. Luz-María Nieto-Caraveo, Professor and Academic Vice President of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, and Mexican Representative in AHELO Group of National Experts (GNE) Why is your country interested in AHELO?

It must be taken into account that the higher education system in Mexico is constantly growing, in the context of the demographic, economic, technological and political transition the country is undergoing.

A dynamic approach for the treatment of both an acute and chronic locked back: How to get your patient moving from Day 1!
Treating a locked back can be very challenging. We now understand the pathomechanics of why this occurs.

All topics and techniques covered are based on the current research on muscle inhibition and the neuroscience of pain.
