Essentially the following techniques are used in my physiotherapeutic work with you:

• Mobilization of joints with manual therapeutic techniques as well as active and passive movement patterns (see PNF).
• Local pain reduction with manual therapeutic techniques as well as finger pressure or hand pressure methods from Shiatsu.
• Relaxation of muscle through massage techniques, active and passive stretching patterns, as well as heat application.

All of these measures should bring immediate and feelable improvement,which makes it easier for the organism to run its own proven healing programs.

My job is to put the right stimuli, in order to stimulate the body and calm the mind as well as possible. If this happens successfully, often long treatment sessions are not necessary, even in cases where symptoms were quite therapy resistant.

The autonomous cooperation of the patient after treatment is very important. Autonomous cooperation means to be more aware of the self and the body, to trust it and its self healing programs, and to change certain thinking- and activity-patterns, in order to create a fulfilled and symptom free life as far as possible.

All symptoms have a direct or indirect connection with the ways of thinking and way of life of the patient.

In that context, I consider myself beeing in the position of the " helper for your self help ". 

In addition to thoughtfully and professionaly executed physiotherapy, the most important factor of my work with you is to teach you physical and mental methods, techniques and exercises for a succesfull "self - therapy" in the now and in the future, involving and enhancing your self healing powers.
