Manuelle Therapie

In my Berlin practice, I offer Manual Therapy, which focuses on restoring the mobility of joints that are intact but functionally impaired. Postural and functional disorders can lead to stiffness in the spine, joints, fascia, and muscles. The goal of Manual Therapy is to gently release these complex stiffenings.

Our diagnosis and therapy are based on biomechanical and neurophysiological principles and are carried out preventively, curatively, and rehabilitatively by hand. Through specialized manual techniques and mobilization methods, we can increase mobility and alleviate pain. The Manual Therapy offered in my practice is a targeted, joint-friendly, and almost pain-free treatment method.

For the past 20 years, I have been recognized by the Berlin Medical Association as a physician for Manual Therapy, and I have extensive experience in applying this effective method. I practice it successfully and with passion in my private orthopedic practice in Berlin.

Mobilization and Manipulation

In my orthopedic practice in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, I begin with a thorough examination. During this process, I already use various manual techniques to identify functional disorders of the joints, muscles, and nerve structures. Gentle mobilization techniques can eliminate reversible movement disorders and relieve pain, allowing vertebral or extremity joints to return to their natural positions.

Persistent blockages can be very stubborn and often cannot be resolved through simple mobilizations. In such cases, after excluding contraindications, manipulation is necessary. This involves working with high speed and short range, producing the characteristic "crack." These special manipulation techniques should only be performed by appropriately trained specialists. I have completed extensive training for this purpose.

Techniques

Manual Techniques

Using various manual techniques, I can quickly and forcefully move the affected body parts to resolve blockages (manipulative technique). Alternatively, slow stretching can gently improve mobility (mobilizing technique).

Traction Treatment

In my practice, I also offer extension or traction treatments. This involves applying targeted traction to the spine or individual joints, usually with the help of special devices. This technique relieves joint surfaces, stretches surrounding muscles, relieves nerves, and reduces pain. In the case of a herniated disc, the traction increases the space between the vertebrae, allowing the disc to return to its normal position.

Manual Muscle Treatments

Many restrictive muscle complaints can be successfully treated with manual muscle treatments. This form of manual therapy is very popular in my private orthopedic practice. Commonly used methods include post-isometric relaxation, transverse stretching, longitudinal stretching, fascial smoothing of the muscle fascia, and targeted treatment of trigger points.

Once your symptoms have subsided through manual therapy, it is important to actively work to prevent their recurrence.
