Physiotherapy treatment methods and services in our practice

Manual therapy

Manual therapy (from Latin Manus = hand) describes a method of diagnosis and treatment in which the therapist identifies and remedies dysfunctions in the musculoskeletal system. The therapy is performed by physiotherapists with appropriate additional qualifications and is used primarily to restore the full range of motion of individual joints.

Sports physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapy is, strictly speaking, a collection of different therapy methods (including manual therapy, fascia therapy, osteopathy, training therapy, etc.) with the aim of preventing injuries to competitive and amateur athletes or restoring performance as quickly as possible after an injury.

Therapy for jaw problems

Craniomandibular dysfunction, that is, discomfort in the jaw joint is a problem whose importance is increasingly coming to the fore. The problems can manifest themselves in many ways: Pain in the temporomandibular joint, neck pain or headaches, nocturnal grinding or biting, cracking, problems chewing or toothache without a demonstrable cause. Just like any other joint in the body, disorders in the capsular ligamentous apparatus or musculature can be responsible. The therapist can find out which structures are responsible for the disorder and support the body in correcting the impairment.

Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a manual form of treatment that serves to decongest the tissues. It is used in case of larger swellings and edemas, which often occur after operations, sports injuries or tumor treatments. Lymph is understood as tissue fluid. This should always be in motion for a functioning exchange of substances. However, scars, adhesions, injuries or removed lymph nodes can disturb this flow. Manual lymphatic drainage can be used to support the body and reduce swelling with gentle strokes.

Kinesiotaping

Kinesiotaping was developed in 1973 by the Japanese physician and chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase. The tape consists of a stretchable textile material. Through competitive sports, kinesiotape has also found its way into classical physiotherapy. The aim of the tape is always to support the body in its function, that is, especially to promote the metabolism in the region or to enable mobility properly. Unlike the classic tape, which is not elastic and is used to restrict mobility.

Medical Flossing

Medical Flossing is a very young form of treatment that originated in fitness sports in the USA. It involves wrapping a joint very tightly with an elastic rubber band and then moving it. The strong compression creates a "sponge effect".
