Our aim is to improve health.
Health is the ability to respond to change and to each situation in the best possible way.
Taking care of your health is up to you, but we can help you make healthier choices. Each of us has habits that we have learned and adopted out of sheer habit. Our minds often explain habits as necessities, even when they cause us problems. We know what would be good, but it is difficult to change. We support you to change what has become a limiting factor in your health.
We hate the idea that we are just helping you to continue doing something that is harmful to yourself.
None of us can escape harm, but we are all reparable. We are here to support you when you face damage. Whether it's a sprained ankle, prolonged back pain or hip replacement surgery, we'll be by your side throughout your rehabilitation.
Recovery is individual and influenced by many factors other than the damage to the body or the surgery. During the healing process, taking care of your health is particularly useful and can be supported by things like nutrition.
In many ways, adequate physical activity is a key part of good health. However, sometimes exercise can also cause musculoskeletal problems. The solution is not necessarily to exercise more. It may also be a loss of trainability. Trainability is a key property of the body and the nervous system. When trainability is good, the body and nervous system are able to adapt to the training. Trainability diminishes when the nervous system and body start to protect from movement or loading.
Typical reasons for protection include pain or movement impairment. Then the brain develops movement patterns to avoid the pain or movement impairment. Principally, we are not able to voluntarily override these avoidant patterns. Training then reinforces the avoidant movement patterns or builds new compensations, leading to a cumulative load elsewhere in the body and uneconomic movement.
If prolonged, the condition leads to a negative training response such as reduced training space, lack of recovery or pain. Trainability can be improved and maintained with quality physiotherapy.
