In addition to relaxation exercises, it is also crucial to specifically strengthen the weak muscles in the pelvic floor (conservative therapy approach)! Using the latest technology, known as biofeedback, this muscle tension can be measured objectively using a probe. This measurement is displayed graphically. The process of "feeling and seeing" demonstrably improves perception training and control of pelvic floor muscle function. With electrostimulation...

Our shock wave therapy device “enPuls” from Zimmer Medizintechnik complements our “classical physiotherapy” in the treatment of diseases of muscles, tendons and tendon insertion sites. Pain reduction, functional improvement of tissue structures and activation of regeneration processes are the primary goals of this treatment method, which is used worldwide with great success.

A special ultrasound gel creates a connection between the transducer and your skin. The sound waves get up to 5 cm deep into the tissue (e.g. ligaments, tendons, bursa, etc.) and there, by stimulating the metabolism, have a pain-relieving and regenerative effect. Just like electrotherapy, we also use ultrasound treatment in addition to other physiotherapeutic measures.

With our state-of-the-art medical electrotherapy devices, we have a large selection of different forms of current. Depending on the type, these stimulate the local metabolism and thus improve wound healing, pain relief and/or muscle and joint function, and with our mobile, wireless Compex therapy devices you can optimise your muscle activity during your training with us...

If you have back pain during pregnancy, then physiotherapy is the therapy to go for. Depending on what kind of pain you are suffering from, gentle stabilizing and strengthening exercises, stretching and mobility exercises, even manipulation therapy and lymphatic drainage treatment, can all be effective. We also provide helpful tips you can use in everyday life, at work and whilst you are giving birth.

1. kinesiotaping is a treatment technique in which elastic, textile and, if desired, colourful adhesive strips are applied to the skin in order to positively influence body structures (muscles, ligaments, joints and lymph vessels) in a reflective manner.2. classic stabilising tapes are functional adhesive bandages that give your joint stability, e.g. after ligament injuries, and have a pain-relieving effect. They also help to minimise unwanted movements...

CMD is an umbrella term for structural, functional, biochemical and psychological dysregulation of muscle and temporomandibular joint function. As the causes can be so varied, a precise analysis of your symptoms is particularly important for a successful course of treatment. In addition to a correct working hypothesis, your understanding of these correlations is very important. Good interdisciplinary co-operation with your attending physician (possibly ....

Dry Needling enables the therapist to treat trigger points which are located deep down in the muscle or which are not easily accessed accurately. In dry needling treatment, a very thin acupuncture needle is inserted into the trigger point causing or supporting your complaint. By doing this, the muscle cramps and subsequently relaxes helping very tense muscles to relax and improve circulation of blood within the muscle. Dry Needling is an effective method and a valuable addition to myofascial trigger point therapy.

Trigger point therapy is only performed on patients by specially trained physiotherapists and doctors. In addition to the manual techniques used to deactivate trigger points and to loosen connective tissue, we also use subsequent treatments to stretch and relax the muscles thereby increasing their functionality.

Manual lymphatic drainage is used to resorb swollen tissue. Special, rhythmic, circular and pumping manipulation supports resorption of the accumulated liquid. Swelling of the tissue decreases, pain is reduced and your tissue is softer and looser again. Manual lymphatic drainage is only performed by physiotherapists specialized in this treatment.
