TREATMENTS OFFERED

Rehabilitation during and after your stay in the clinic

Traditional physiotherapy

Other treatments:

Manual therapy
Manual therapy uses specific diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to detect and treat dysfunctions in the musculo-skeletal system. Its special hands-on techniques are used to locate and analyse an impairment in mobility in the extremity joints or the spine. These techniques are used to alleviate pain as well as to improve mobility in areas that are restricted, if this is caused by reversible dysfunction of the joint or the muscles surrounding the joint. The selection of the relevant mobilisation techniques is based on the medical findings, the restricted range of motion and the form of the joint.

Targeted electrostimulation
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is an electrical-medical, stimulation-current treatment with a weak, low-frequency alternating current, which is used primarily to treat pain (analgesia) and for muscle stimulation. TENS was developed in the 1970s. Electrical stimuli are applied to the skin via electrodes. Frequencies between 1 and 100 Hz are usually used. The electrodes are placed in the area around the painful site. The stimulation itself is not painful and leads at most to a tingling of the skin. In the clinic, we use electrical stimulation primarily to combat atrophy of the muscles during the patient's stay, but also to treat pain on an outpatient basis in individual cases. With the targeted postoperative stimulation of the muscles in the surgery site, we achieve faster healing, better pain relief and significantly less muscle atrophy.

Laser therapy
We use an Opton 7-watt laser for our laser therapy. This is a specially developed, high-performance laser for use in physical medicine. The effectiveness of the procedure has been studied and documented. It is a highly effective pain therapy that acts locally, directly at the site of pain, as well as systemically. In addition to the analgesia, the biostimulation helps tissue to regenerate faster. This treatment is used in musculo-skeletal illnesses, tendopathy, neuralgia, skin diseases and scar treatment.

Lymph drainage
Manual lymph drainage has a wide range of effects on the body. It is used primarily as a treatment to reduce oedema in swollen areas of the body such as the trunk and the extremities (arms and legs). Using circular movements applied with light pressure, the fluid is shifted from the tissue to the lymphatic system. Manual lymph drainage affects primarily the skin and subcutaneous region and is not intended to improve blood circulation as massage does. It is also useful in combating pain before and after surgery, as the swollen tissue overloaded with lymphatic fluid can be decongested. The patient feels significant relief, analgesics can be reduced and healing is faster.

Gait training
Gait optimisation is the first objective of gait training. This includes a precise analysis of the patient's gait by the therapists and the detection of adaptive postures and compensatory mechanisms by the patient. Gait training is useful, for example, after hip operations with adaptive limping, after the implantation of knee prostheses and various other surgical interventions for the lower extremities. Gait training is also useful in neurological conditions. We work on treadmills with lamellar technology. These were developed especially for professional sports and rehabilitation. This technology is based on nature's specifications, so that the most natural form of human movement walking can be carried out as normally as possible. When you step on a conventional treadmill, the friction between the belt surface and the floorboard creates a stop effect which returns a considerable part of the force of the step to the joints and can lead to maladaptive loads. The higher the weight and the speed of the person training, the larger this negative effect becomes.

Ergonomics consulting/Workplace analysis
Upon request, we can provide advice in your home or your office. We analyse and determine an optimal sitting/working position for your specific needs, support you and/or your company during the work process and assist you with advice and analysis. We offer seminars, workshops and personal coaching on a variety of topics tailored individually to your needs or refer specialists to you to address a wide variety of health issues.

Fitvibe vibration training
In vibration training, mechanical vibrations are transmitted to the body on a vibration plate. The frequency of the vibrations can be adjusted between 20 and 60 Hz. It has been scientifically proven that the best results are achieved within these frequencies. Muscles react to the vibrations automatically by contracting and relaxing. Due to the high frequency, this contraction is very intensive and extremely effective. Vibration training is not only ideal for training healthy muscles, but also for exercising weakened muscles in older people or after injury, for example. In the case of stress incontinence, whole-body vibration is used to improve the basic tone of the pelvic floor muscles. Muscles that stabilise and control the joints are likewise stimulated and strengthened. We work with the fitvibe excel pro vibration plate, which has an MDD certificate and was specially designed for medical use. The frequency and range of motion are individually adjusted to each client by the therapist and saved on a chip card. The device runs quietly and, with its innovative computer software, it offers the user a range of control options during training.

Personal training
Would you like to get back into sports activities or lose a bit of weight? Has your athletic performance reached a plateau? Regardless of age, gender or performance level, we will draw up a training programme with you and determine your goals. We have a large network of qualified and certified personal trainers and can thus offer a wide range of training options in discreet training facilities with top-of-the-line equipment.

Performance diagnostics/Athlete support
During traditional rehabilitation after injury, communication among the athlete, the trainer, the physician and the therapist is a top priority. Only in this way can we ensure an optimal solution for the individual athlete and guarantee a fast return to competition in his or her sport. In performance diagnostics, we offer strength measurement, isokinetics, trunk strength and jumping strength. Further performance tests such as lactic acid measurements, ECG, pulmonary function tests, etc. can be arranged very quickly.

Sports massage
After a strenuous workday, top sports performances, or for tense, hardened or overstrained muscles, sports massage is soothing and relaxing.

Easy Tape
Easy Tape is used primarily to assist the healing process by supporting and relieving stress on injured body parts so that they can be better reintegrated in movement afterwards. Easy Tape was developed in 2005 and is based on the principles of autoregulation and compensation. It stabilises joints, reduces pain, helps to reduce excess swelling and supports muscle control, thus assisting the healing process after surgery and in painful or functional impairments of the musculo-skeletal system. This method is also suitable for athletes.
