Practice for physiotherapy

We offer you in our practice the following services in the field of physiotherapy:

• physiotherapy

**Definition

Physiotherapy is a form of therapy that aims to maintain or restore the body's ability to move and function.

Physiotherapeutic measures are often prescribed after a doctor's diagnosis. The patient receives a prescription from the doctor on which the diagnosis, the remedy, frequency and frequency are written down. However, physiotherapists may also provide preventive treatment without a doctor's prescription, provided there are no serious illnesses.

The patient's ability to move and function may be impaired by illness, accident, congenital disorders or misconduct in everyday life.

The application of various active and or passive forms of treatment can eliminate pain in humans, restore healthy (physiological) movement patterns, balance unbalanced muscle strength ratios (muscular imbalances) and promote motor development in children.

Physiotherapy also helps patients to help themselves, to actively and independently support and continue the healing process and to prevent new problems.

• Sport physiotherapy

**Definition

Sports physiotherapy is an independent field within physiotherapy. The target group are athletes during the build-up phase, training or in rehabilitation after injuries or operations.

The physiotherapist combines his knowledge of sports and disease or injury, thus ensuring optimal prevention and rehabilitation of injuries.
Knowledge and analysis of the sport provide the sports physiotherapist with information about the demands placed on the injured structure.
Special exercises can optimize the load capacity.

Physiotherapeutic techniques optimize healing time.

The treatment here differs little whether this injury has now occurred at home or on the sports field. However, the demands after the recovery phase within the sport are usually many times higher than those in everyday life.
This difference deserves extra attention.

Targets:

The goals of sports physiotherapy include the improvement of strength, endurance, acceleration, speed and coordination in the particular sport through specific training, adapted to the possible weaknesses of the athlete.

• Manual Therapy

Definition

Orthopedic Manual Therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy for the management of neuro-musculo-skeletal dysfunction. It is based on "clinical reasoning" (thought, action, and decision-making processes that clinicians such as physicians, nurses, and therapists make either alone or in consultation with professional colleagues and/or the affected patient) and employs highly specific approaches to therapy, including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. Orthopedic Manual Therapy embraces and is driven by the available scientific and clinical evidence and the biopsychosocial framework of each individual patient.

Based on an extensive patient interview and detailed functional findings, the manual therapist creates his or her treatment plan, which is continually updated. Multiple components-local and remote-may be involved in the problem; for example, muscular, arthritic, or neural, as well as individual contextual factors such as job design, exercise, and psychosocial issues. The therapist assesses the extent of involvement of each component and treats them accordingly. To do this, he uses a wide range of treatment techniques. A purely structural diagnosis is difficult. The treatment goals, as well as the dosage and progression of treatment, are always adapted to the current findings.

• Medical Training Therapy

Definition

Medical training therapy is used to build up and restore muscular deficits that have occurred in the context of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

**Indication

Muscular deficits in the sense of hypo- or atrophy occur in a variety of diseases of the orthopedic-traumatological field; exemplary examples are atrophy of the M. quadriceps femoris after injuries of the knee joint or atrophy of the back muscles in the context of chronic pain conditions of the spine.

**Contraindication

A reduced general condition, diseases, for example of the cardiovascular system, acute infections and malignancies may constitute contraindications.

**Performance

The aim of medical training therapy is to initiate movement patterns and achieve mobilization of functional movement chains. Primarily, muscle endurance and strength are built up through targeted strength training, also on equipment; accompanying complex movement patterns and coordination are improved.

Aftercare

Medical training therapy is to be embedded in an overall therapeutic concept in which physiotherapy, physical forms of therapy and pharmaceuticals are important additional pillars.
