\nPhysiotherapy is geared towards the treatment of symptoms and the functional, mobility-related, and\nactivity-related limitations of the patient. The goal is to restore the functions of the musculoskeletal\nsystem which often leads to pain reduction or the complete absence of pain.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTissue, muscles, joints, and the skeletal system are treated to cure limited functionality or prevent secondary\ndamage. It is the treatment of choice for joint deformities, paralysis, scar treatment, and muscle development\nbefore and\/or after surgery.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPhysiotherapy also has an impact on the internal organs. It affects the nervous system, the circulatory system,\nlymph flow, and promotes blood flow to the organs, especially the skin.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOur diagnostics and therapy prioritize a holistic approach to our patients’ health. We are not only interested\nin the immediate problem but also look for correlations. Old injuries or surgical scars, for example, can cause\nproblems that must be taken into consideration.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMassages are used for the mechanical manipulation of skin, connective tissue, and muscles through stretching,\npulling, or pressure movements. The effect of the massage extends from the part of the body treated to the\nwhole organism, including the psyche. This also applies to manual therapy (osteopathy, traction).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTherapeutic exercise includes stretching or passive movements and manual therapies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nExercises in water (hydrotherapy) can be used to supplement successful therapy. One well-known example used in\nhuman therapy is Kneipp therapy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThermotherapy includes heat and cold therapy. Heat or cold treatments can provide relief for certain diseases as\nwell as pain. Heat and cold therapy are often used as preparatory and complementary measures for physiotherapy\ntreatments.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTechnical aids such as laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, magnetic therapy, interferential current\n(electrotherapy), and underwater treadmill are very successful treatment methods.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHydro-, thermo-, and electrotherapy are also referred to as physical therapy and are a part of physiotherapy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPhysiotherapy is used to aid recovery from orthopedic injuries. These include broken bones and torn ligaments.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOther areas of application include chronic degenerative (wear-related) musculoskeletal disorders such as\narthrosis, spondylosis, or muscle atrophy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEven in the case of the often congenital luxating patella (“slipping kneecap”), physiotherapy is often very\nsuccessful.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOther congenital deformities such as hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia can become very painful. Regular massages\nand physiotherapy are used to build muscle, to promote relaxation, and to relieve severe pain.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMany old (geriatric) animals suffer from various types of wear of the joints. Incorrect strain, improper posture,\nand incorrect movements lead to painful tension and muscle atrophy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe primary aim of physiotherapy is pain relief, which is achieved mainly through muscle relaxation, muscle\ndevelopment, and the recovery of a natural sequence of movements.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nWe introduce our patients to the therapy with great care. Our goal is for them to relax completely and learn\nthat the treatment is a pleasant thing. The patient can only participate properly in the treatment if he is\nrelaxed and not anxious. Dogs who are familiar with the therapy often demand the relaxing massage.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nPositive cooperation with both humans and animals is important to us. After each therapy session, we assign\nthe pet owner some homework. Strong collaboration with the pet owner is a necessary prerequisite for successful\nphysiotherapy.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
