Forms of therapy

Physiotherapy is a form of specific training and the external application of remedies, the primary aim of which is to restore, improve or maintain the ability of the human musculoskeletal system to move and function. Physiotherapist is not an independent medical profession in Germany, but belongs to the health professions. The medical necessity of treatment is determined exclusively by doctors and prescribed on prescription, except for preventive measures.

Physiotherapy bases its treatment on the patient’s complaints and functional, movement or activity limitations identified during the physiotherapeutic examination. It utilizes diagnostic and clinical reasoning based, as well as educational and manual skills of the therapist. If necessary, it is supplemented by natural physical stimuli (e.g. heat, cold, pressure, radiation, electricity) and promotes the patient’s own activity (coordinated movement as well as conscious perception). The treatment is adapted to the anatomical and physiological, motivational and cognitive conditions of the patient.

On the one hand, the treatment aims at natural, physiological reactions of the organism (e.g. motor learning, muscle development and metabolic stimulation), on the other hand at an improved understanding of the functioning of the organism (dysfunctions/resources) and at self-responsible handling of one’s own body. The goal is the restoration, maintenance or promotion of health and very often freedom from or reduction of pain.

We use physiotherapeutic treatment techniques to treat diseases, the consequences of injuries and functional disorders of the postural and locomotor organs as well as the internal organs and nervous system. Mobilizing and stabilizing exercises and techniques regulate muscle tone and support function and strengthening in cases of muscle insufficiencies and imbalances. This relieves pain, promotes mobility and thus restores your overall physical and mental well-being.

The cause of joint complaints often lies in a dysbalance between load-bearing capacity and load. The aim of manual therapy treatment is to correct this imbalance and restore the physiological balance between joints, muscles and neural structures. By releasing blocked joints, fascia techniques, stretching shortened muscle groups and by functionally strengthening the corresponding muscles, physiological movements are regained, which can lead to a significant reduction in discomfort and even freedom from pain.

With manual therapy, we provide you with a targeted, joint-friendly and pain-free treatment technique that is used for reversible functional disorders of the joints. Both passive mobilizing techniques and active exercises for strengthening and stabilization are used.
