Physiotherapy is a paramedical profession which consists of mainly specific physical/mechanical impacts on the human body, which lead to reactions of the nerve system, altering muscle tension, blood circultation, etc. Furthermore, a physiotherapist can help to identify the deeper sources and factors with a negative impact on your health problem.

 Physiotherapy consists of mainly specific physical/mechanical impacts which lead to reactions of the nerve system, which is steering muscles, blood circultation, etc. For example, the manipulation of a ligament or tendon can lead to a nervous reflex which releases a muscle tension. If a joint is blocked, a manipulation of the capsule can help to release that joint and in consequence will reduce the muscle tension. A heat application will lead to widened blood vessels, which can help to increase the metabolism of a muscle and physiological reactions of the tissues.

Usually, our body has a very well developed system of self-healing. a broken bone, twisted joints and even a cut muscle can heal in a short time. However, there are sometimes circumstances which limit the effect of the system, which can result in a longer period of healing time or lasting limited function. Therefore, physiotherapy has different objectives: (1) to monitor the healing process, discover and eliminate possible obstacles, (2) optimize the healing process by therapeutic means and (3) advise how to avoid negative impacts of behavior, the environment, food and mental factors (stress, fears, information about the disease, etc.).

Manual therapy is a post graduate specialization of physiotherapists and orthopedic doctors mainly. It is looking more detailed into the functional relationships of muscles, ligaments and nerves and applyies techniques for manipulation of joints and mobilizing nerve flexibility. We follow the concept of Maitland©, which is internationally recognized.
