My physiotherapeutic treatment methods

Manual Therapy Manual therapy is used in medicine to treat dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles and nerves); it can be performed by physiotherapists with special training. It includes examination and treatment techniques.

Manipulative therapy This therapy is used when vertebral joints are acutely blocked and causing discomfort. I perform manipulative therapy only very rarely and after a thorough examination. If you suffer from osteoporosis, asthma (cortisone) or arthrosis, I cannot apply manipulation.

Electrotherapy Electrotherapy is the name for therapeutic applications of electric current in medicine and physical therapy. During a therapy session, electrodes are attached and low pulses of electricity (stimulation current) are used to stimulate the function of the affected nerve.

Ultrasound therapy The area to be treated is covered with a contact gel to ensure optimal sound transmission. The transducer is now moved evenly and slowly over the area to be treated. Heat is generated and micro-small vibrations are created in the tissue to support the healing process.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage It is a form of therapy that supports and stimulates the lymphatic system throughout the body. Manual lymphatic drainage has a decongestive, soothing and relaxing effect through its fine movements and touches. Through its drainage effect, it also strengthens the immune system.

Kinesiotaping Kinesio Tape is based on the special properties of the human skin and uses the skin as the largest sensory organ of the body to achieve effects. The effect is achieved by the corresponding special application technique, which is adapted to the needs of the customer.

Respiratory Therapy Clinical respiratory therapy deals with diseases and dysfunctions of the lungs. It works both prophylactically and post-treatment. Respiratory training is also a part of respiratory therapy. It is understood as various exercises to improve the capacity of the lungs.

Scar treatment After destruction of the collagen network of the skin, a scar is a low-grade, fibrous replacement tissue (fibrosis) that represents a final state of wound healing. In scars, the collagen is no longer complexly interwoven, but arranged in parallel.

Fango pack Fango (healing mud) is a mineral mud of volcanic origin. A fango treatment lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. It conducts heat up to 3 centimeters deep into the body. Thanks to its deep warming effect, the fango pack stimulates the whole organism.

Home visits If it is not possible for you to visit me in my office, I can offer you therapy at your home. If you have a doctor's prescription, domiciliary treatment must be marked on the prescription, so the health insurance will cover the additional costs.

Training room I have set up my own small training room for my clients.
If you are interested in visiting my training room from outside, this is possible by arrangement. Maybe the fitness center is too big or too impersonal for you. So you would be exactly right in my training room.
