Treatment techniques :

Manual therapy

Manual therapy (MT) is primarily understood as measures that have a mobilizing effect on the joints. muscle stretching techniques are also used. The therapy is used for joint blockages of any kind, e.g. for restoring the mobility of a restricted ankle joint. In the area of the spine, joints can also be mobilized, such as to reduce the pain of lumbago (witch's lock).

With traction, joint partners are moved away from each other by manual traction, which leads to a reduction in pressure, relief and also pain relief. Simultaneous stretching of the joint capsule and ligaments improves mobility. All techniques are used for functional disorders of the joints of the extremities as well as the spine. Manual therapy is a targeted treatment technique that is gentle on the joints and usually painless.

Indications :

• primary lymphedema ( congenital chronic transport disorder of lymph from the tissues.
• secondary lymphedema after surgical removal of lymph nodes.
• swelling after surgery or trauma, injury
• edema associated with rheumatic diseases**
• migraine
• trigeminal neuralgia
• Morbus Sudeck

The massage

is one of the best known and oldest healing methods. Massages can stand alone as a form of treatment, but are also often used in conjunction with other forms of therapy. The classical massage serves to loosen tense muscles, to promote blood circulation and metabolism, to positively influence circulation, blood pressure, breathing and the psyche, and to reduce pain. The physiotherapist uses different grip techniques depending on the desired effect. I apply the physiotherapeutic massage if you:

• suffer from back pain - then the back massage is suitable as a therapeutic massage therapy**.
• **suffer from muscle tension, if you are engaged in a mostly sedentary activity. Professional medical massage loosens your muscles and you will feel much better afterwards.
• suffer from restricted movement, if you have problems with fluid movements, e.g. when standing up or bending down.
• suffer from tension after sport exercises - this is also suitable for sportsmen, as well as for those who have made a wrong movement in their leisure time. Here helps a suitable sports massage.**

Joint mobilization to regain joint mobility.

**Functional training

Rehabilitation training after injury or surgery.

Examination, optimization and treatment of the musculoskeletal system.

Fascia therapy

**Fascia is the collagenous connective tissue network of the human body. If these fasciae stick together or harden, pain and immobility can be the result. It becomes particularly unpleasant when fasciae stiffen and thicken to such an extent that they constrict nerves. This can happen, for example, through overuse or injury, but also through chemical stimuli, chemical messengers from the brain or stress. The task of the physiotherapist is to make the fasciae elastic again. Since the connective tissue is extremely sensitive to pressing, pulling and kneading, this can be achieved through targeted movement therapy and massage. Stretching and light bouncing exercises can also help to keep the connective tissue elastic so that it can once again fulfill its functions.

Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a form of therapy that is mainly used for edema and decongestion therapy of swollen body regions. Here, the removal of fluid from the tissue into the lymphatic system is promoted by manual, often circular shifting techniques or tissue deformations, which are only carried out with very light pressure. Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle treatment technique that does not, as in classical massage therapy, cause increased blood flow, but rather has an effect mainly on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Through certain grips and their correct sequence, there is a slight increase in pressure in the tissue, which supports the absorption of tissue fluid via the lymph vessels and the associated removal.

Other forms of therapy :

Ultrasound therapy

Trigger point therapy

PNF

Kinesio tape

Scar treatment
