Physiotherapy made to measure (german)

As with general physiotherapy, this sports physiotherapy focuses on the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries to the musculoskeletal system.

In sports physiotherapy, we also place special emphasis on the integration of a specific type of sport. The basis for this is mainly intensive, systematically used, active therapy measures (indoor/outdoor) according to the latest scientific findings. Passive physiotherapy is also used, if deemed necessary.

Target groups

Individuals suffering from musculoskeletal problems as well as recreational and competitive athletes from all types of sports and age groups.

Requirements

Available through basic and accident insurance (through a referral by your doctor), supplementary insurance (massages) or payment by the client directly.

Manual therapy is a specialized sub-field within physiotherapy for the examination and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. It is used in particular for complex movement disorders that require a thorough examination and assessment.

Manual therapy combines various highly specialized treatment techniques including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. The treatment is based on an objective worked out together with the patient.

Das Programm GLA:D Schweiz kommt bei der Behandlung von Knie- oder Hüftarthrose zum Einsatz. Unser Kurs setzt sich aus drei Einzeltherapiesitzungen, zwei Gruppensitzungen mit Beratung und zwölf Gruppensitzungen mit neuromuskulärem Übungsprogramm zusammen. Am Ende des Kurses führen wir eine Abschlussuntersuchung durch und verfassen einen Kurzbericht an Ihren zuweisenden Arzt.

Was bedeutet GLA:D®

GLA:D® steht für «Good Life with OsteoArthritis in Denmark». Das Programm hat zum Ziel, bei Menschen mit Knie- und Hüftarthrose eine Schmerzreduktion sowie eine verbesserte Gelenkfunktion und damit eine gute Lebensqualität zu erreichen. Die Non-Profit-Initiative der Universität von Süddänemark wurde 2013 lanciert und beschäftigt sich mit der konservativen, also nicht operativen Behandlung von Arthrose in Knie- und/oder Hüftgelenken. Das Ziel ist, dass Patientinnen und Patienten am Ende des Programms über ausreichende Kompetenzen verfügen, um ihre Knie- oder Hüftprobleme selbständig «zu managen». GLA:D® ist in verschiedenen Ländern verfügbar und standardisiert. Das Programm besteht aus drei Bereichen: einer Patientenedukation, einem Übungsprogramm und einer Qualitätskontrolle mittels Datenerhebung. Damit setzt es internationale Behandlungsleitlinien qualitätskontrolliert in die Praxis um.

#1

Patientinnen und Patienten durchlaufen zu Beginn des Programms drei Einzelsitzungen mit Eintrittsuntersuchung, Tests und praktischer Einführung ins Übungsprogramm.

#2

Danach folgen zwei Gruppensitzungen zur Wissensvermittlung, zur Beratung und zum Erfahrungsaustausch.

#3

Im Anschluss finden weitere zwölf Gruppensitzungen statt, in denen die Teilnehmenden lernen, ihre Bewegungen und ihre Haltung zu kontrollieren, ihre Muskelkraft zu trainieren sowie funktionale Übungen in den Alltag zu integrieren.

#4

In der letzten Einzelsitzung mit Austrittsuntersuchung wird der Erfolg überprüft. Die Patientin oder der Patient sowie die zuweisende Ärztin oder der zuweisende Arzt erhalten daraufhin einen Kurzbericht.

Kosten

Mit einer ärztlichen Verordnung werden die Kurskosten (abzüglich Franchise und Selbstbehalt) durch die Krankenkasse übernommen.
