Frequently Asked Questions

  • The technique Brunkow, is credited to German Physical Therapist Roswitha Brunkow, who was born in 1916 Germany amid World War 1 and the Polio epidemic. Later in her life she was relegated to a wheelchair for an extended period due to a spinal injury. At the time of her injury, she was already professionally trained as a physiotherapist working at a Neurosurgical University Clinic in Homburg Germany and was exposed to the common therapies of the day.

    While bound to the wheelchair, she discovered that using upper body isometric exercise could activate the muscles of her shoulder and assist in correcting the posture of her spine. Over time, this approach to loading the upper extremity and correcting spine posture began to give her strength back in her legs. She was once again able to walk with relatively normal function and returned to her clinical work.
