How physical treatments work
Physical treatments use targeted stimuli such as heat, cold, electricity or ultrasound to help the body regenerate. This can relieve pain, relax muscles and promote blood circulation. Metabolism and mobility also benefit – important prerequisites for healing and well-being.

Indications for Physical Therapy Treatments
Orthopaedics
Physical treatments are an important part of orthopaedic therapy. They support the healing process, relieve pain and promote the regeneration of muscles, joints and connective tissue. Physical measures can help to relieve tension, improve blood circulation and support mobility, both for acute complaints and chronic strains or after surgical procedures.
Neurology
Physical treatments are also used specifically for neurological disorders. They help to regulate muscular tension, reduce pain and facilitate movement sequences. Individually tailored treatments can have a positive effect on symptoms and improve physical resilience and general well-being.
