Die Insel

At the beginning of treatment, we prepare a written analysis of the patient's posture and movement. This analysis helps us to identify the functional and structural causes and correlations of the individual problem. From this, we develop a working hypothesis and a therapy plan. Each treatment is individually adapted according to the patient's progress.
We have particular experience in treating functional disorders associated with the following diagnoses:

Lumbar, thoracic, and cervical syndromes with and without radiation, such as

• Lumbalgia / lumbar sciatica
• SI joint pain
• Thoracic pain / intercostal neuralgia
• Respiratory dysfunction
• Cervicalgia / cervicobrachialgia
• Migraine / Headache
• Tinnitus
• Dizziness
• Shoulder girdle compression syndrome
• Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)
• Carpal tunnel syndrome

Pain syndromes of the extremity joints, such as

• Arthrosis of the hip, knee, and shoulder joints
• Overuse pain in the joints (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, runner's knee, foot problems)
• Sports injuries

Other functional disorders, such as

• Unsteady gait/tendency to fall
• Pelvic floor weakness/incontinence
• Disorders affecting the elasticity and mobility of neural structures (CNS, PNS, VNS)
• Vegetative dysfunctions

Therapies

• Movement analysis, treatment by the therapist, and active movement therapy through instruction in therapeutic exercises with and without training equipment according to functional movement theory FBL Dr. med. h.c. S. Klein-Vogelbach
• Manual therapy SAMT.
• Analytical biomechanics according to Sohièr
• Improvement of the functioning of neural structures and fasciae, including harmonization of the vegetative nervous system using the Bertram® quadrant principle
• Three-dimensional pelvic floor training
• Coordination dynamics analysis and training with equipment from Giger: Giger Medical Device, Giger Gym, Giger Booster
• 3D whole-body vibration (Prowave) and stochastic resonance therapy (Zeptor) to loosen tissue, strengthen muscles, stimulate metabolism, and improve neural control (improving balance and combating dizziness).
• Electrotherapy/ultrasound
• Optimization of the basic cell biological regulation of the extracellular matrix with NeuroStim M21.
• Pain therapy through activation of the body's natural mechanisms in the form of segmental and efferent stimulus inhibition with the InterX device.
• Sensory-motor training, e.g., with our wooden therapy gyroscope / Bertram gyroscope
• Bertram Gyroscope (GERMAN)
• Bertram Gyroscope (ENGLISH)

Physiotherapy is covered by basic health or accident insurance. You will need a doctor's referral for your insurance provider to cover the treatment costs.
