It has a noticeable positive effect on back pain in all ages and in all kinds of sports.Objectives: This bibliographic revision analyses the impact of Mézières therapy on gymnasts’ posture as well as in the coordination of mechanical-muscular movements.Methodology: The literature review was conducted referring to the 21 Meta-analisis publications regarding the benefits of Mézières therapy by using the following databases: Cochrane Library, PsychInfo, Medline, PEDRO, PubMed. The methodological quality of these studies was taken into account during the synthesis of the data.Results: Mézières therapy has a noticeable positive effect on back pain in all ages and in all kinds ofsports. This wellness approach to physical activity, which in our western culture comes back after acentury of “forgetfulness”, initially with an eastern import product such as (Yoga), followed by the francese ones (Mézières, Soucard, B.Bricot, Busquet, deys-Struyf, J. Le Boulch), leads us today to awareness in sports to also review our athletic training protocols and training, in the light of “new”scientific principles of biomechanics organization of muscle and posturology chains.Discussion/conclusion: Analyzing the work programs carried out by the athletes in the various studies, lasting from 4 to 8 weeks, emerges that the load modulation is based solely on the volume of workprogressions, in particular each researcher has defined a sequence of exercises remained unchangedduring the training, only focusing on the rise of sets and reps.
