I played handball successfully for 13 years (Junior National Team) and unfortunately, during the course of my career, experienced many surgeries as the result of sports related injuries (e.g. on the knee). I therefore have ample experience in being a “patient”.

I work specifically within areas of trauma related surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine:

• After accidents and sports related injures (e.g. cruciate ligament rapture, meniscus injuries, inversion trauma of the ankle or lateral epicondylitis known as “tennis elbow”)
• During acute or chronic illnesses/pains of the musculoskeletal system (e.g. slipped disks, sciatica)
• After surgery of the joints or spine
• In the case of cardiovascular diseases (heart attack)
• Preventive medicine (prevention of muscular imbalance, posture training)

One of the most important focal points is the individual tailoring of therapy/training to fit the personal goals and problems of the individual patient. These may include:

• Pain reduction
• Muscle strength training following injury, after an operation, immobilization
• Fat reduction training and improvement of mobility
• Coordination and endurance training
• Sport-specific training
• Osteoporosis training

Depending on the goal, passive therapy measures and active involvement on part of the patient (which is very important to me) should alternate. Moreover, I offer group training (therapeutic gymnastics, bodywork, strengthening and stretching) coordinative stabilization training for knee injuries) and house calls.
