Main rehabilitation problem of patients with pathology of the locomotorium is one of the most modern and relevant and it has great socioeconomic significance. The risk of spine disease increases tenfold because people have sedentary lifestyle, a general decrease in immunity and poor ecological situation. The spine is the most complicated structure of the musculoskeletal system. It plays a key role in health. Modern medicine cannot be focused only on the treatment of acute conditions. Rehabilitation is the third key type of medical assistance after prevention and treatment; medical aid cannot be complete without rehabilitation. The process of recovery and health promotion of patients is impossible without modern therapeutic programs using.
