Praxis im Kastel (Brig)

I come from physiotherapy. This gives my treatments the clear structure, the objective view and the goal-oriented approach.

Being aware that I am not a conventional physiotherapist, I started early to intuitively create and apply my own treatment methods. I have always approached what I have learned from a respectful but also critical point of view.

The state of the tissues under my hands has always been the deciding factor in whether and how I integrate what I have learned into my own way of working. So I am often asked about my treatment technique, which is simply my individual one.

An example:

I like to work very much with resistances, e.g. on feet and hands. This is sometimes much more efficient than massage to achieve local muscle relaxation. Moreover, I can gain a whole functional chain with a single technique. At the same time, perception is trained and muscle groups are specifically inhibited, respectively strengthened. Thanks to my resistances, I am very close when releasing a pattern and can dose, control and correct promptly as well as very specifically. With this active technique, success is integrated immediately.

I attach great importance to the balancing, harmonizing and holistic character of my way of working. It is natural for me to treat the patient as a whole, from head to toe. This is because the affected area cannot be viewed in isolation from the rest of the organism.

It happens from time to time in my sessions that I do not touch the affected area. With reactive pain it is important to find the symptom-causing blockages. Often these blockages are located in other parts of the body. Thus, I treat around the "hot potato", so to speak. In contrast to this, I sometimes only touch the patient with a fingertip, regardless of the location of the pain, and stay on this spot until it fits into the whole.

The patient's way of life is co-determining for the goal. Accordingly, in my treatments I try to achieve the highest possible functionality in everyday life, hand in hand with increased well-being.

The patient's current picture shows me which approach is most suitable for this. Be it passive or active treatment techniques, training of body perception, balance, mobility or strengthening exercises, an ultrasound or even specific instructions for home...
