The idea for this paper came while observing the body position of the students specialized in the Restoration of mural paintings when working on a church fresco. The aim of this study is to inform and prevent the restoration artists about the column deficiencies that may occur during the work and over the functional status of the vestibular apparatus responsible for balance (when working at heights). Even more, we provide the restoration artists with exercise programs to prevent or ameliorate the detected deficiencies. Also included is a study derived from practical applications, done with the help of students specialized in the Restoration of mural paintings from the Faculty of Visual Arts and Design, from the University of Arts "George Enescu" from Iasi. The study in the form of a workshop is comprised of the evaluation of the vertebral column by a group of MA students from the Physical Therapy department of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at the University "Alexandru Ioan Cuza", who compiled sets of physical exercises specifically designed to combat the conditions that were found and put them in practice in individual work programs. With this study we aim to inform the present students, restoration artists, but also the future students who choose this specialization, about the possible installation of column deficiencies due to the working conditions they expose to in some cases.
