Manual therapy

Mobilization of blockages

Manual medicine, or manual therapy, deals with the treatment and prevention of reversible dysfunctions of the postural and musculoskeletal system. Diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are applied to the spine and extremity joints to locate and correct these disorders.

Lymphatic drainage

Decongestion and activation of the lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is the most important transport system of the body besides the blood circulation. Manual lymphatic drainage is a massage technique used to eliminate lymphatic congestion in the tissues. The treatment serves as a decongestion therapy and supports the supply to and from the cells, promotes wound healing and improves regeneration, e.g. after injuries.

Neurological therapy

Rehabilitation of the nerve tracts

If disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system, illnesses or the consequences of accidents restrict movement, we can use special physiotherapy methods (such as the Bobath concept) to ensure more independence in your everyday life.

Gait training as well as treatment methods in combination with electrostimulation therapy are also among the supporting measures.

In autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, it is often not the control centers that are affected, but only the connections. Through constant repetition, the brain builds up new nerve connections, with which movement sequences are rehearsed. This mechanism works not only in MS and stroke, but also in neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Trigger point therapy Release of tension

Muscle stiffnesses are locally sensitive to pressure and often cause transmitted (radiating) pain. In trigger point therapy, these muscle hardenings in the skeletal musculature are specifically treated. In this context, one speaks of so-called "myofascial trigger points".

Dry needling Release of tension

Dry needling is a treatment of myofascial trigger points with acupuncture needles. It is an effective complement to manual therapy. Tension is released, local blood circulation is improved and the punctual inflammatory reaction is lowered.
