What is the RGM?
GMR, short for global rehabilitation in motion, is a therapeutic approach that uses body movement as the primary tool to promote recovery and improved well-being.
Unlike traditional rehabilitation methods that focus solely on static exercises, RGM incorporates dynamic and functional movements to optimize results.
The RGM approach focuses on the individuality of each person and their ability to move efficiently and without restrictions. Movement is considered an essential part of life and lack of movement can lead to dysfunction and deterioration of health.
In RGM, a variety of techniques and tools are used to help patients improve their movement and function. These may include stretching, muscle strengthening, balance and coordination exercises, as well as manual therapy and joint manipulation techniques.
In addition to working on the physical body, RGM also focuses on the emotional and mental aspects of rehabilitation. It is recognized that stress, anxiety and other psychological factors can affect a person’s recovery and overall well-being. Therefore, relaxation, breathing and mindfulness techniques are incorporated into the treatment to help patients reduce stress and improve their mood.
GBR is used to treat a wide range of conditions and injuries, including sports injuries, chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, stroke and neurological injuries.
For whom is global rehabilitation in motion intended?
Global rehabilitation in motion (GRM) is a versatile and adaptable therapeutic approach that can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels. Its main objective is to improve the health and general well-being of the individuals who practice it.
Specialized RGM therapists can tailor rehabilitation programs to your individual needs, helping you recover effectively and safely.
In addition to being beneficial for injury recovery, RGM can also be an ideal option for those who wish to improve their flexibility and mobility. As we age, it is common to experience a decrease in flexibility and range of motion.
Stress is another factor that can negatively affect our health and well-being. RGM can be an excellent tool for relieving stress and promoting relaxation. Through breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, RGM can help you reduce stress levels and improve your overall mood.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, RGM can also be beneficial for people suffering from chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain or fibromyalgia.
Therapists specializing in RGM can work in conjunction with other health professionals to develop customized programs that address the specific needs of each individual. These programs may include strengthening exercises, gentle stretching and relaxation techniques, with the ultimate goal of improving patients’ quality of life.
Main benefits
RGM offers a number of benefits for the body and mind. Some of the main benefits include:
- Improved mobility: RGM focuses on functional movement, which helps improve coordination, flexibility and muscle strength.
- Pain reduction: By promoting better postural alignment and correcting muscle imbalances, RGM can help reduce pain and discomfort.

The key to RGM lies in the attention to detail and precision of the movements. Through concentration and regular practice, RGM participants can improve their balance, smooth movements and improve their posture.
