Medical information

The association is a collective of peers by experience and are not medically qualified. However, we try to collect and post published articles and treatment protocols here as carefully as possible to help increase knowledge within the medical community.

In cooperation with the University of Utrecht, the association commissioned a scientific study on quality of life and several treatment protocols were also developed for mensendieck and physical therapy.

If you are a healthcare professional and have experience in treating and or diagnosing Tietze and/or costochondritis, we would love to know about it. Or if you have articles, treatment protocols or information that could be of interest to other practitioners, please let us know. With your permission we will publish this information on our website.

The links below have been collected from the Internet and offer an idea of the various medical and treatment sites where information about the conditions can be found.
