The main objectives are:

It is a sensible alternative or supplement to surgical or drug treatment.
We offer separate Prices treatments in physiotherapy.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy (from "manus" Latin for hand) is probably the most important procedure in our treatment. Special hand movements and mobilization techniques are used to identify and treat pain and restricted movement. Direct contact with the tissue or the patient allows for a finely tuned, customized treatment that requires a great deal of sensitivity.
Physical therapy
Physical therapy uses various stimuli such as heat, cold, shock waves, light or electrical stimuli. It is an important complementary measure to manual therapy, as it increases the metabolic activity of the tissue in a wide variety of ways.
Exercise therapy
Exercise therapy is an important component of effective long-term physiotherapy. It is traditionally carried out following manual and physical therapy and serves to build up muscles and stabilize the body in a targeted manner.
