Sports physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapy is a specialization in the treatment and prevention of general and overuse injuries sustained by athletes.

All active therapies are applied, along with traditional passive treatment methods. We aim to provide intensive and individual sport-specific support until the athlete can resume training for their sport. We work according to the principles of evidence-based medicine and systematically incorporate new scientific findings in our daily work.

Sports massage

Sports massage is an addition to traditional forms of massage. It aims to aid muscular recuperation following sporting activity. It also helps to prevent sports injuries.
