Sports cardiology addresses the various cardiological issues and specializes in particular on individuals subject to physical exertion and sports. It is therefore just as important for competitive athletes as it is for recreational athletes or patients involved in sporting activities who have an increased risk of heart disease (hypertension, smoking, diabetes, high blood lipid levels, overweight, family stress or chronic lack of physical activity), as well as patients who already have heart diseases, who want to continue to be physically active.
Physical exercise and sports, endurance sports in particular, are advisable and a healthy option for your heart. However, under certain circumstances such activities can also have risks. That is why it makes sense for athletes and would-be athletes to undergo a specific sports cardiac screening and assessment if they experience any indicative signs due to complaints or after a routine check. Delineating physiological adaptation through sports and pathological findings relating to the heart can sometimes be a difficult process. It is important to identify patients who actually have an increased risk.
We offer assessments for athletes with abnormal findings (e.g. significantly deviant rest-ECG results during a routine check). We furthermore offer sports cardiac checks for beginners and individuals wanting to take up sports/physical activities again, who do or do not have cardiovascular risk factors. We also provide assessments and training advice for athletes form all disciplines and performance levels, as well as for patients with existing cardiovascular diseases.
Through our consultations and treatment, we provide our clients with support after an injury or accident and as preventive measures We bolster individual strengths and balance out any weaknesses. Our consultations and treatments are driven by solutions. It is important that we promote our client’s sense of personal responsibility as it is a prerequisite for attaining the ultimate goals.

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.
Practitioners of craniosacral therapy assist the client to self-regulate by applying light touches.
The aim of the treatment is not to combat the symptoms but instead to find out the causes of the pain to create a holistic healing process. Craniosacral therapy can be used to treat people of all ages, from birth to old age.
Symptoms
- Back and neck problems, migraines, stress-related ailments
- Problems sleeping, fatigue, depression
- Orthodontic problems
- Asthma, allergies and skin conditions, and much more
Health insurance policies are recognized for supplementary insurance in alternative medicine.
In biomechanics we look specifically for the causes of complaints in your musculoskeletal system. Medical knowledge and technical aids help us to individually analyze your movements and to measure and assess the strain caused in various sports.
This form of treatment can correct and rebalance possible malpositions and inappropriate strains through individualized measuring devices. Our focus is on people and their ability to move. Our goal is for you to be able to walk, train or simply go back to work again free from any pain. We will provide you with a comprehensive range of scientific movement analyses in various types of sports, plus the corresponding evaluation for producing orthopedics insoles for your sports shoes. We also offer expert advice on the right sports shoe to buy – which you can purchase from us. By providing the entire value chain, we guarantee our customers continuous quality assurance for all our products.
The analysis team from swissbiomechanics carries out the running analyses. swissbiomechanics is a spin-off company of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich; it is a leader in the area of running analysis and the production of orthotic insoles for specific sports. Many national and international amateur and top athletes from various sports background have benefited from swissbiomechanics’ extensive expertise.
Advice on sports and running shoes
Having the right sports and running shoe is of huge importance as it significantly influences the heel-to-toe behavior of the wearer’s foot. The heel-to-toe behavior can be analyses on the treadmill and the running shoe can be assessed accordingly. By using this method, we can guarantee the provision of accurate advice on footwear.
Motion analysis for specific types of sports
Because of the stop and start nature of various types of sports, the musculoskeletal system can be exposed to extreme stresses. These stresses should never exceed the bearing capacity of the musculoskeletal system. A biomechanical analysis designed for specific types of sports, helps to identify malpositions and inappropriate strains in the musculoskeletal system at an early stage. This makes it possible to avoid overstraining the system and injuries, or to detect the causes of existing complaints. The analysis can also be used to enhance performance and is carried specifically at the sport’s site.
Isokinetic testing and training systems have been used in orthopedic rehabilitation for over 20 years with the purpose of detecting and treating muscular deficiencies and imbalances. In addition to rehabilitation, isokinetics is also used to optimize the training of athletes.
Rehabilitation
A therapy program is drawn up based on the diagnostic findings with the aim of targeted improvement in muscular weaknesses, increased resilience and reduced pain and discomfort.
Training
With dedicated athletes, isokinetic testing is used to analyze their muscular strength and physical capacity and to further enhance their performance, if required, with a specific training program.
Individuals who are able to present a doctor’s prescription for physiotherapy will have their costs covered by their health and or accident insurance.
Shock waves are very short, high-energy acoustic pulses. The shock waves created in a generator are passed through the skin to the injured part of the body where they release their therapeutic effect. This stimulates the body’s own healing powers, which accelerate the healing process.
Shock waves help to heal painful and inflamed tendons/ligaments (enthesopathy). The treatment has also proven to be successful in arterial circulatory disorders and pain therapy.
Areas of use
- Heel pain caused by heel spurs (plantaris fasciitis)
- Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder (tendinosis calcarea)
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow (epicondylitis)
- Pain in the Achilles tendon (achillodynia)
- Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
- Jumpers knee
- Patella tip syndrome
- Hip tendon injury (gluteal endinopathy)
- Muscle-fascia pain (myofascial pain)
The treatment is short and low-risk. The dosage is adapted to suit the pain tolerance of the patient and does not require anesthetics. A marked improvement can already been seen after just 2 to 3 sessions in most cases. 4 to 7 shock wave sessions are carried out on average per patient.
The majority of supplementary insurances will contribute to the cost of the treatment.

We use the lactate level test to determine your current endurance training threshold in order to draw up an individual and effective training program that makes the most efficient use of your time. The ergometer on a stationary bicycle or treadmill is gradually increased until the test person’s maximum level is reached. The lactate concentration in the blood can be used to measure the individual’s anaerobic metabolism. The anaerobic threshold measured in the test is used as the predicate of the individual’s endurance threshold and to determine the different areas of training and heart rate ranges. Our sports scientists and sports doctors will provide you with clear explanations on how to best organize and measure your training.
If you have Helsana PRIMEO insurance, this extra is covered by your insurance. You can find more information about this at Helsana.
If you have Helsana insurance but not Primeo supplementary insurance, you can pay for this service directly and benefit from attractive conditions. Please contact your health insurance provider and inquire about other options.
With the exception of Medbase Thun Panorama-Center Sports Medicine and Medbase Zug, all our Sports Medical Centres offer the Sports Check.
Die Spiroergometrie bietet für den Sportler den Goldstandard der Leistungsdiagnostik. Die umfangreiche Diagnostik wird zur Bestimmung der Leistungsfähigkeit und Belastungsfähigkeit von Herz und Lunge sowie der maximalen Sauerstoffaufnahme angewandt. Dies ermöglicht eine qualifizierte Beurteilung des individuellen Ausdauertrainingszustandes.
Bei der Durchführung der Spiroergometrie wird der Sportler auf dem Fahrrad- oder Laufbandergometer bis zum individuellen Leistungsmaximum belastet. Mittels Maske wird die Gaszusammensetzung der Ein- und Ausatmungsluft analysiert (Atemanalyse). Die maximale Sauerstoffaufnahme (VO2max/ VO2peak) ist ein wichtiger Prädikator der Ausdauerleistungsfähigkeit. Über sogenannte Atemschwellen werden individuelle Intensitäts- und Trainingszonen präzise festgelegt. Im Gegensatz zur Laktatdiagnostik ist dieses Messverfahren mit einem höheren technischen und apparativen Aufwand verbunden und eignet sich vor allem für ambitionierte Sportler sowie Wettkampfsportler.
We offer various test methods for endurance diagnostics. Please inform yourself by phone about the exact content and procedure.
The bioelectric impedance method determines the resistance between of the flow of an AC current as it passes through two or more points on the body.
The body contains different types of tissues with differing levels of electrolytes. The BIA can measure the water content, metabolically active cell tissue and fat mass of the individual body compartments. A further advantage of this method is that it can also identify visceral adipose tissue.
Calipometry is a widespread method for ascertaining the amount of subcutaneous fat. Using calipers (pincers), technicians measure the thickness of skin folds at different parts of the body.
The basal metabolic rate, also known as your body’s metabolism, is the amount of energy (in calories) your body needs to keeping functioning at rest on a daily basis, in order to maintain its vital functions such as breathing, heartbeat and body temperature.
The amount of calories required varies from person to person. To measure an individual’s BMR, their respiratory behavior, oxygen uptake, is recorded through a mask as they lie down for approx. 15 minutes. This test is used for the basis of individualized nutritional plans and calorie intake guidelines – for weight loss, to prevent the individual from becoming overweight or to aid weight gain.
We offer different test procedures for strength diagnostics. For the exact content and process, please contact the respective center.
Core strength test
The core strength endurance test according to Swiss Olympic is a standardized strength test for the core muscles. It consists of three dynamic strength exercises performed using just the individual’s own body weight. This method is used to test and assess the strength of the anterior, lateral and posterior group of core muscles.
Weak core muscles negatively impact on the individual’s performance in numerous types of sports and are often also the cause of muscular imbalances as well as overstraining of the musculoskeletal system. The core muscles form an important component in the efficiency of athlete in numerous endurance and strength sports; they also contribute to the stability of the body and movement precision in many types of ball games, contact sports and martial arts.
Jump test
The standardize jump test according to Swiss Olympic provides accurate findings on the speed, jumping ability and endurance of the test person. The height and speed of the individual’s jumping capabilities can be precisely measured with the integration of the force-time record from a force platform, as other systems use the time in the air. In many types of sport, the jump test is used as the “data bearer values” and are often more useful than isolated strength tests as it tests the entire muscle group.
Isokinetic strength tests
Isokinetic strength measurements record the strength and performance of joints at specific angles. An important area in which such a test would be used is for the detection of muscle imbalances, for example in the knee, ankle or shoulder. These may not just hinder an individual's performance, it may also over strain their musculoskeletal system. If necessary, this can be counteracted with the appropriate training resources.
In addition to strength testing, isokinetics can also be used in isolated training; the option of eccentric training units for athletes is of particular interest.
The Medical Check Basic consists of a medical assessment of your personal state of health followed by a brief consultation review with a doctor and prevention adviser with the aim of optimizing your health in the future.

Would you like to improve your health? Or perhaps you need treatment for an illness or an injury? With the staff at Hotel Säntispark and the Center for Medicine & Sport located in the hotel, you have access to an interdisciplinary team of specialists. The versatile and modern infrastructure of the Säntispark provides you with countless combination possibilities for interdisciplinary care in stamina training, recovery treatments and many more health-related requirements. The range of therapy programs on offer vary in their intensity and duration. The Hotel Säntispark meets all the criteria as a spa hotel and is therefore listed in the list of spa establishments used by the health insurance companies ("Verzeichnis der Kurhäuser für Krankenversicherer”).
A medical massage improves the blood circulation and metabolism and therefore reduces tension and pain in the muscles as well as the entire body. It improves the patient’s performance and regeneration, whilst simultaneously purifying and detoxing the body. Different manipulation techniques and intensities are applied to achieve the objectives.
Sports massage
A sports massage is a variation of the classic massage. It plays an important role in preparing for training and competitions, or after great physical exertion with the aim of restoring previous performance levels. The massage techniques are individually tailored to suit the athlete, i.e. His/her type of sport and his/her ultimate objective (stimulation, improved performance, regeneration, relaxation or injury prophylaxis).
Foot reflexology massage
The whole body is reflected in the feet. By massaging the pressure points, stimuli are sent directly to specific regions of the body, thus improving and stimulating organ function. The autonomic nervous system can alleviate pain such as headaches, menstrual cramps or digestive problems.
Connective tissue massage
The connective tissue massage is a neural therapy (alternative therapy). It acts on internal organs via the nervous system. The skin is segmentally connected to the internal organs through the nerves. Correspondingly, the nerves transmit stimuli that are placed on the skin to distant tissue/organs. These react to the received impulses. Connective tissue massage is mainly used for this purpose: Disturbances of tissue metabolism, rheumatic diseases, sciatica or migraine.
Trigger point therapy
TP therapy is used to target local cramps in the muscle tissue. It is often applied to ease painful conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, headaches, injuries, susceptibility to injuries and to prevent discomfort.
Lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system is stimulated through gentle, rhythmic and slow pumping manipulations (pressure), which promotes the drainage of lymphatic fluids from the tissue. Lymphatic drainage is used for swelling after an injury, surgery and congenital disorders of the lymphatic system. It is also used for certain types of headaches and migraines.
Price list (German)
The massage services can partly be billed via the additional insurance. Please check in advance whether your health insurance company accepts the therapist or treatment methods and covers the costs.
A sports massage supplements the classic and medical massage. The same manipulation techniques are used, such as stroking, kneading, circular frictions, etc. as well as some other techniques that are not used as often in classic massages (e.g. tapping, shaking motions, vibration)
With a sports massage a distinction is made between:
The period before the competition:
- A few days before (predominantly loosening up the frame, stretching, relaxing)
- Immediately before the performance (stimulating the blood circulation/frames, muscles, ligaments, tendons, skin, etc. through quick and hard manipulation techniques, mental preparation for performing)
During / in between competitions
- For example with athletics, swimming competitions, etc.
After the competition:
- Directly after performing
- A few days after the competition
The treatment is drawn up on an individual basis with the athlete tailored to the type of sport, the duration of the treatments and the respective objective.
