What is the origin of Tibetan Vertebral Praxis?
The Praxis Vertebral® is a manual technique applied to the spine, based on an ancient Tibetan method.
A precursor, Yhom Thanm Mnegom Po, a physician and priest, agreed with the later statement of Hippocrates (the father of medicine), asserting that the root of nearly all diseases lies in the spine.
In Argentina, Dr. Pistacchia corroborated the method’s effectiveness with his doctoral thesis titled The Influence of Lumbar Vertebral Praxis on Knee Osteoarthritis, founding the Center for Praxis Vertebral® Studies and Research in 2000.
What is the foundation of Tibetan Vertebral Praxis?
The spine consists of 33 vertebrae.
Within each vertebra runs the spinal cord, a cylindrical cord that transmits all nerve impulses connecting your brain to the entire body.
Nerves enter and exit minutely along the entire spine to govern much of the body’s functions: raising an arm, bending a knee, or regulating digestive, urinary, and respiratory functions, among others.
Even a slight vertebral misalignment, due to falls, poor posture, or improper movement, can cause disorders anywhere in the body, including the psychological or emotional levels.
How is the Tibetan Vertebral Praxis method applied?
In practice, non-invasive, harmonious manipulations are performed using hands, fingers, and elbows to realign any vertebral displacements along the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions.
The goal is to widen and separate compressed spaces between each vertebra, improving both circulation and the normal conduction of emerging nerves.
This process achieves flexibility, pain relief, restored upright posture, and muscle toning.
What conditions are treated with Tibetan Vertebral Praxis?
The spine, from the atlas to the last coccygeal vertebra, is bordered on both sides by a bundle of reflex pathways, which are responsible for numerous pathologies.
Due to this arrangement, when one or more vertebrae shift, compressing or injuring these reflex pathways, certain pathologies emerge.
By non-invasively repositioning the vertebrae with Tibetan manual praxis, these reflex pathways are freed from injury, often resulting in the disappearance of both functional and, in many cases, organic pathology.
Thus, conditions such as lower back pain, sciatica, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, elbow pain, hand pain, hip pain, and cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine issues accompanied by headaches, dizziness, paresthesia, tinnitus, palpitations, tachycardia, chest pain, and others are commonly treatable.

Other conditions related to the autonomic nervous system can also be treated, including:
Infertility (polycystic ovary syndrome, oligospermia)
Digestive disorders (hiatal hernia, diarrhea, constipation)
Urinary disorders (incontinence, prostatitis, vulvitis)
Cardiac disorders (idiopathic tachycardia or bradycardia)
Respiratory disorders (bronchitis, asthma, bronchospasm)
Endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, benign breast nodules)
