Physiotherapy: Movement instead of bed rest

In the past, patients with pain were advised to rest and take it easy. However, scientific understanding has long since changed: Exercise is crucial for strengthening and loosening the muscles, and therefore for long-term pain relief. 

According to guidelines, exercise therapy is already indicated for patients who suffer from back pain for more than six days. It is an essential component of treatment for chronic pain. That is why a physiotherapist is also one of our partners. An individual training programme helps to build up the muscles and improve posture. The resulting reduction in pain is an initial incentive to continue training independently. A home exercise plan supports this and has a preventative effect. 

Movement therapy takes place either in the Pain workshop Munich or with our partners. We are supporters of osteopathy. Just as the Munich back pain model While osteopathy approaches the subject of back pain from different angles, osteopathy endeavours to determine the complex causes of pain and treat them in a targeted manner. Osteopathy is also aware of the connection between all body structures and therefore works with so-called cause-and-effect chains.
