My Handtherapy-Services
I treat injuries of hand / arm / shoulder to improve or maintain the current condition:
- acute or chronic
- affecting all structures (bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, lymphatic system, nerves)
- conservative treatment or after surgical measures
If you suffer from an acute overuse syndrome due to sport, leisure or work, contact me as soon as possible. The sooner therapy is initiated, the better the chances of recovery.
- Rheumatic diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis, gout
- Morbus Dupuytren
- Overuse syndromes (tendonitis, snapping fingers, epicondylopathies due to sports, work, etc.)
- Hypermobility (e.g. unstable wrist / midcarpal instability)
- Compression syndromes (carpal tunnel syndrome, sulcus ulnaris syndrome, Wartenberg syndrome, TOS, etc.)
- Pain-syndroms (CRPS), etc...
My methods are
- Mobilisation of joints and all structures involved, as well as mobilisation of the nervous system.
- Use of assistive devices where necessary
- Instruction of exercises for stretching, stabilisation and strengthening
- Trigger point treatment
- Mirror therapy for movement control and pain reduction
- Lymph therapy
- Taping
- Paraffin or ultrasound as accompanying measures
- Dry Needling for the effective release of active tender points
I make individual braces for you
- for immobilisation
- to support weak structures during activities
- to stretch tissues and structures
- to assist in the aftercare of injuries – in consultation with your doctor
Every brace is checked to ensure the best possible wearing comfort and to avoid pressure points.
As an occupational therapist, I'm specialised in the analysis of the activities you perform.
Based on this, I will advise you on optimising posture and movement patterns, both for work and leisure.
I will explain ergonomic aspects to you and train you accordingly.
I want you to know what you should pay attention to, where the use of aids might make sense and how you can prevent or mitigate future problems.
