Philosophy

The treatment of impairments, injuries and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system requires in-depth knowledge and precise diagnostics.
‍Thisresults in an individualized treatment concept tailored to the patient's needs.

‍Mostjoint complaints can be improved or even eliminated with conservative treatment methods.
‍Surgeryis also part of the treatment spectrum and is useful when mechanical problems cannot be solved in any other way.

‍Mymain areas of treatment are injuries and the consequences of injuries. Due to the frequency of injuries and illnesses, the knee joint and shoulder are the main focus.
‍Theirfunctional impairments have the greatest impact on our everyday lives and performance.
