Methods Myofascial trigger point therapy Chronic overuse or direct trauma of the affected muscle structures are often the cause of a myofascial pain syndrome. These provoke a dysfunction of the link between nerves and muscles. This is where myofascial trigger points develop. Their mechanical irritation often leads to "referred pain". Trigger point therapy can eliminate this pathology even after a long time.

Lymphatic drainage The aim of manual lymphatic drainage and complex physical decongestive therapy is to improve disturbed lymphatic drainage or to restore physiological lymphatic drainage. Disturbances in the lymphatic system can occur after operations, accidents and diseases. With targeted drainage and additional bandaging of the affected part of the body, one tries to eliminate or reduce the lymph swellings. This form of therapy is only performed by specially trained therapists.

Classical massage In case of excessive tension of the muscles and connective tissue, a classical massage can have a positive effect on these disorders. By means of superficial to deep techniques, the skin, connective tissue and muscles are manually stretched, relaxed and thus better supplied with blood.

Neurological treatment (Bobath) Bobath is a form of therapy for the rehabilitation of patients after stroke and other neurological diseases of the central nervous system. The aim of the treatment is to inhibit abnormal reflex activities and to enable the patient to learn motor skills through movement experiences.

Sports physiotherapy Amateur and professional athletes are optimally supported by means of specific and individually adapted instructions, training programs, passive mobilization techniques, taping techniques and nutritional advice in order to achieve maximum performance. The owner of the practice has already applied this support concept at the World Championships, European Championships and the Olympic Games.

Manual therapy Maitland Concept Concept of manual therapy. Passive techniques are used to examine, treat and systematically assess the musculoskeletal system.

Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept This system includes selected techniques of different concepts (Cyriax, McKenzie, parietal osteopathic techniques), which are applied patient-specifically at the right time.

McKenzie Concept Treatment concept especially for patients with back problems in the lumbar and cervical area. This concept can be used very well as a home program.
