Physiotherapie André Handwerg (Gunzwil)

Therapy offer overview

Physis = Body Therapy = healing treatment

Massage Effect

• loosening of adhesions between skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle and connective tissue (scars)
• Removal of pain-producing substances, stimulation of muscle metabolism
• Improvement of blood circulation and decongestion
• normalization of muscle tone in case of hard tension
• pain inhibition in case of e.g. pain in the musculature, soft tissue rheumatism, adhesions and scars

Manual lymphatic drainage Effect

• drainage of the body fluid surrounding the tissue cells through the lymphatic and venous vascular system and tissue crevices
• Stimulation of the lymphatic system
• pain reduction in case of edema, swelling e.g. lymphedema, lipedema, swellings caused by accidents or operations

Physiotherapy Effect

• Improvement of the function of dysfunctional joints
• Activation and strengthening of weakened muscles
• Stretching of shortened soft tissue structures
• Restoration of muscle balance
• Promotion of blood circulation and decongestion
• Effect on cardiovascular system, respiration and metabolic system e.g. passive and active movement disorders of joints and muscles, disorders of organ systems, diseases of the nervous system

Apparatus training-MTT Effect

• Improvement of muscle function including the associated joint and supporting tissue
• Improvement of muscle structure in case of damage and muscle blood circulation
• Improvement of the respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic systems
• Automation of functional movement sequences

Manual therapy Effect

• joint mobilization
• Effect on musculature, connective tissue and neural structures
• Strengthening of weakened muscles in case of e.g. joint dysfunction, muscular dysfunction, muscle weakness in case of nerve compression

Electrotherapy and ultrasound Effect

• Galvanic currents By ionic displacement improvement of blood circulation in the area of electrodes, pain relief, improvement of tissue nutrition.
• Low frequency stimulation currents By stimulation of nerve fibers influence of pain, regression of swelling, improvement of blood circulation and muscle strengthening.
• Medium frequency alternating currents Depending on the frequency selection, predominance of the pain-relieving effect or effect on the muscles in terms of strengthening and improvement of blood circulation.
• Ultrasound Targeted regional heating of deeper tissue layers with high-frequency mechanical oscillations. Influencing pain, inflammation and irritation. Loosening of tissue adhesions and local muscle relaxation.
