Physiotherapy treatments
More independence, mobility and quality of life: neurological rehabilitation through physiotherapy aims to help patients reintegrate into their familiar surroundings. This is achieved through the targeted promotion and improvement of physical functions that are crucial in everyday life or leisure activities.
Physiotherapy
LSVT-BIG-Programm
LSVT BIG is a specialized physical and occupational therapy program designed for people with Parkinson’s disease. It focuses on large, deliberate movements that help make daily activities safer and more active.
People with Parkinson’s disease often experience limitations such as stiffness, slowed movements, or balance problems. The intensive and stimulating training provided by LSVT BIG supports mobility, promotes independence in daily life, and can effectively complement medication-based therapy.
The goal of this program is to improve:
- Stride length, posture, and arm movements
- Movement speed
- Balance and flexibility
- Daily living skills and safety
If you are interested in LSVT BIG therapy, we would be happy to advise you personally.
Gait analysis
Gait analysis is a central component of neurorehabilitation. This procedure allows for the precise recording and evaluation of each patient’s individual gait pattern. Using modern technologies and clinical observation, movement sequences, weight-bearing patterns, and potential deviations are systematically analyzed.
Based on this, targeted treatment plans can be developed to alleviate movement disorders, increase safety while walking, and improve independence in daily life. Especially following neurological conditions such as a stroke or Parkinson’s disease, gait analysis helps to visualize progress and continuously adapt treatment.
Coordination training
Coordination training is a targeted form of exercise that improves the interaction between the nervous system, the brain, and the muscles. The goal is to perform movements with greater precision, fluidity, and efficiency, to improve balance, and to prevent injuries.
Motor-cognitive training
Motor-cognitive training combines physical movement (motor skills) with mental challenges (cognition). The goal is to simultaneously improve coordination, strength, memory, and attention by increasing the activation of neural networks. This approach is used in fall prevention, rehabilitation, and dementia prevention.
Motor Imagery
Motor imagery (mental movement training) refers to the ability to mentally simulate movements without actually performing them. This concept is based on the finding that simply imagining a movement activates similar neural networks to those activated during the actual performance of the movement. In neurorehabilitation, motor imagery has therefore established itself as a promising approach—particularly for patients with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or spinal cord injuries.
Services for Vertigo
For vertigo (such as rotational vertigo, positional vertigo, or other types of vertigo), we offer a full range of treatment options tailored to different types of vertigo. Based on the diagnosis of the specific type of vertigo, we provide targeted therapeutic interventions (balance training, oculomotor therapy, proprioception training, positional vertigo training, visual dependency therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation).
Services for Headaches
For headaches, we offer personalized treatments focused on stress reduction, muscle relaxation (manual or using dry needling), muscle strengthening, and ergonomics.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is an effective physical therapy technique for treating myofascial pain. It involves inserting thin, sterile acupuncture needles—without the use of medication (“dry”)—into specific areas of muscle tension (trigger points). The goal is to relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
Sensory-motor training
Sensory-motor training is a targeted form of exercise that promotes coordination between the nervous system (sensory function) and the muscles (motor function). Exercises performed on unstable surfaces or while standing on one leg help improve body awareness and reaction time. The goal is to make movements more efficient, reduce the risk of falls, and improve joint stability.
Fall Prevention
To prevent falls, we have developed a fall prevention program consisting of various coordinated therapeutic components.
At the outset, individual challenges are identified through a personal consultation and specific assessment tests. Based on this, training goals are defined together, and a tailored training program is developed.
The program includes various forms of therapy:
- Individual and group therapy
- Robotic therapy
- Walking group
- Educational components (e.g., nutrition, risk factors, post-fall syndrome)
Throughout the program, training progress is regularly monitored. You will also receive recommendations for continued training, as ensuring long-term success is particularly important to us.
Posturography
Posturography is a diagnostic procedure used to assess balance and postural stability. It involves recording body movements while standing using force plates. Posturography can help identify the causes of dizziness and gait disturbances, assess the risk of falls, and support therapeutic interventions.
Medical Training Therapy (MTT)
Medical Training Therapy (MTT) is a supervised exercise program designed to build and strengthen physical fitness. In MTT, you benefit from guided training tailored to your individual needs. This training focuses on areas such as coordination, balance, strength building, and physical therapy. The program combines traditional equipment with modern technology. All exercise equipment is also available for you to use during independent training sessions. We also recommend training together with other patients, as it is motivating and encourages interaction. MTT training and its conditions are suitable for people of all mobility levels.
Endurance Training/HIIT
Endurance training refers to a form of physical activity that primarily strengthens the cardiovascular system and improves the ability to sustain physical exertion over longer periods of time. It stimulates fat burning, can lower blood pressure, and increases both overall physical performance and personal well-being.
A particularly effective form of this is high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This involves alternating short bursts of very high-intensity exercise with short recovery periods, making the workout especially efficient.
