Physical therapy is an integral part of treatment in the fields of surgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, and manual medicine.
In the treatment of muscle injuries, physical measures and moderate restoration of function using manual techniques and neurophysiological techniques can shorten the convalescence period and speed up the return to sport.
In surgical procedures such as stabilizing a bone fracture with a plate or nail, physiotherapy with all its techniques is crucial for the functional outcome of the operation, as is the case with joint plastic surgery or operations following ligament injuries.
Without accompanying physical therapy, back pain, whether caused by a herniated disc or muscular tension with accompanying segmental blockage of the spine, cannot be effectively treated.
Physical therapy is crucial for the prevention of injuries and pain in the muscles, tendons, and joints.
The focus is on physiotherapy for sports injuries, after operations on the musculoskeletal system using manual techniques, PNF techniques, fascial techniques, and osteopathic techniques.

Based on decades of experience in physiotherapy for sports injuries in collaboration with specialized sports surgeons, this is the focus of my physiotherapy practice.
Physiotherapy, which initially involves decongestant measures, followed by gradual restoration of function and finally strength and coordination, is an integral part of trauma surgery and sports surgery.
To accomplish these tasks, manual, neurophysiological, and fascial techniques are required, as well as cooperation with a surgical specialist. Promoting strength, agility, running, and sprinting, as well as plyometrics, are important for an athlete's successful return.
Criteria and tests for dynamic strength development, fatigue resistance, and neuromuscular coordination are important and helpful in assessing an athlete.
This is only possible with good and close coordination between the physical therapist and the sports surgeon.
