Naturarzt- und Physiotherapiepraxis Adrian Meier GmbH (Spreitenbach)

**Why naturopathic medicine? What is so special about it?

"Biological medicine does not treat diagnoses or symptoms, but the whole person!"** The Naturarzt advocates the extensive renunciation of pharmaceutical products with their often dangerous side effects. He speaks the language of the patients, it is a great concern for us to make them understand how physical and mental conditions are connected.
The naturist is independent, free of influences and interests, such as the pharmaceutical industry or other lobbyists, he calls a spade a spade and is committed to the well-being of the patient.

Physiotherapy bases its treatment on the patient's complaints and limitations in function, movement or activity, as determined during the physiotherapeutic examination. It utilizes diagnostic and clinical reasoning based, as well as educational and manual skills of the therapist. If necessary, it is supplemented by natural physical stimuli (e.g. heat, cold, pressure, radiation, electricity) and promotes the patient's own activity (coordinated muscle activity as well as conscious awareness). The treatment is adapted to the anatomical and physiological, motivational and cognitive conditions of the patient. On the one hand, the treatment aims at natural, physiological reactions of the organism (e.g. muscle development and metabolic stimulation), on the other hand at an improved understanding of the functioning of the organism (dysfunctions/resources) and at self-responsible handling of one's own body. The goal is the restoration, maintenance or promotion of health and very often freedom from or reduction of pain.
