Services that belong to this
Private physiotherapy
Physiotherapy treats complaints of the musculoskeletal system, with the hands, with targeted techniques and with active exercise. With us, private means one thing above all: you have a therapist to yourself, with enough time for examination, treatment and explanation. No three patients in parallel, no conveyor belt.
→ServiceManual therapy and manual medicine
Manual therapy examines and treats dysfunction of the joints and the spine. With mobilisation, targeted handling and, where indicated, brief impulse techniques. The familiar click is a side effect, not the goal.
→ServicePost-operative rehabilitation
After an operation, the aftercare decides the outcome at least as much as the procedure itself. We accompany you on that path from the first appointment after discharge to the point where you can fully load your leg or your shoulder again.
→ServiceFunctional Assessment
A structured examination of your body for stability, mobility and flexibility, not at a single joint, but across the whole movement chain. We see which areas are doing work that really belongs elsewhere. That is exactly where overload develops, often long before it hurts.
→ServiceSports diagnostics and movement analysis
Objective values instead of impressions. We capture strength, stability and movement quality in a way that can be compared again later.
→AreaRegeneration & Medical Performance
Recovery is not what is left over at the end. It is part of the plan, with device-based methods, infusion medicine and everything that helps the body do its work.
→ServiceReturn to Sport and Return to Performance
The stretch between "it doesn't hurt any more" and "it holds up in competition". It is the part most often skipped, and the reason many injuries come back. We close it with measurable criteria, not a gut feeling.
→ServiceMedical training
Training based on findings. You do not train to a standard plan but to what the examination showed, and always supervised by someone who knows why this exercise is the right one right now.
