Food plays a central role in our lives. It provides not only our body, but also the soul and the spirit with nutrients and energy. Like everything else in life, nutrition must remain in balance, which is the only way to achieve optimal health. Healthy eating has been proven to contribute to your health and fitness. In our practice, in addition to therapeutic treatments and personal training, we also offer nutritional counseling. So that you can master everyday life with more energy and zest for life.

MetaCheck

With the new metabolic analysis we can determine the exact meta-type and then create an individual nutrition plan. At the beginning, we record all important data and create a profile. Then we analyze together the previous eating habits, which are recorded in a kind of diary over a period of seven days. Afterwards, we look together at where and how we can optimize your diet and which foods you’d better keep your hands off in the future. In this way, we can work together on good eating habits and change your diet in the long term.

Nutrition and therapy

Healthy nutrition not only affects your figure, it is also an essential part of a healthy and functioning musculoskeletal system. Even in the field of therapeutic applications, nutrition can become an important component. Especially when it comes to the joints, it is important to pay attention to a healthy diet and regular exercise. In general, it can be said that healthy nutrition has a positive effect on the treatment of pain through physiotherapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture or chiropractic applications.

Body in motion

In addition to metabolic analysis and nutritional counseling, we offer a variety of exercise options in our practice that can help with weight loss or musculoskeletal restrictions. Here, we pay special attention to the execution of fitness exercises that are easy on the joints. Our qualified staff will guide you through each exercise. We also have a wide range of training equipment and weights. These factors allow us to offer an individual and varied training and accompany you on your journey to a better and pain-free body.

The cause-consequence chain describes a state of irritation of the tissues in the musculoskeletal system that is directly related to an injury and has an effect on surrounding structures (a kind of chain reaction).
A general distinction is made between ascending and descending chains. An ascending chain is often triggered by trauma to the lower extremities, such as supination trauma (twisting of the ankle). Thus, there is sometimes a link between an old foot injury and acute hip symptoms.

Accordingly, in sports medicine there are also descending cause-and-consequence chains, such as discomfort or dysfunction in the hip, which can lead to pain in the knee. These are usually triggered by a dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. This is followed by a protective posture with increased stress on the unaffected structures in order to minimize pain as well as further irritation of the affected structures.

Over a longer period of time, overload symptoms can occur, which are often characterized by local pain. However, these can also manifest globally in adjacent structures. This type of chain reaction can ensure that local therapeutic measures remain unsuccessful, as the actual cause of the pain present is often not included in the treatment planning.

It is therefore even the more important to include surrounding structures such as joints, muscles or ligaments in the initial examination as well as in the treatment and to structure the therapy holistically. Over the long term, better therapy goals can therefore be achieved and the quality of life sustainably improved.

If you have any questions about the cause-effect chain or would like to make an appointment for treatment, please feel free to call us!
