The name of the profession is composed of two words: “physio” – nature, and “therapy” – treatment.

 The profession of physiotherapy took its place alongside Western medicine during the First World War. At the time, it was mainly used  as  rehabilitation means for the wounded brought to the hospital from the battlefields. Physiotherapy does not use any chemical drugs or surgical interventions.

A physiotherapist is obliged to base his work on objective scientific data. His toolbox contains a wide range of treatment techniques, such as: manual techniques, rehabilitation exercises, Western dry acupuncture (IMS treatment), electromagnetic field therapy, sound wave therapy, and more.

Integrative Medicine​

The medical benefits of acupuncture have been known for thousands of years, since the dawn of human history. The discovery in the human body of hundreds of points that affect metabolism, state of mind, movement and pain has long ago crossed the borders of China.

Today, the use of Chinese needles has expanded. Beyond alternative therapists it is used by physicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists certified by the Ministry of Health (dry acupuncture or Western acupuncture (IMS)).

The results of acupuncture often seem to be miraculous. Multiple studies have been conducted to discover the variety of impact mechanisms possessed by the Chinese needle. Among the effects found so far are reflex relations anchored in an autonomic nervous system. In alternative medicine these connections are considered an expression of body processes in their external representation on the surface of the skin, along the meridians described in ancient medical literature.

Needling​

This method is related to the field of osteopathy. The treatment is performed by applying light touches to the relevant anatomical systems. According to the osteopathic approach, the treatment of the patient's problem should concentrate on the pelvic region, the spine, the scull and the jaws in particular.

​These areas have a great influence on the central nervous system, which is responsible for the functioning of the body and its sensations. The main purpose of the treatment is to stimulate natural healing mechanisms of the body.

Craniosacral Therapy​

This therapy provides a valuable solution not only to muscle problems but also to those of the internal organs. We all are familiar with the benefits of back massage, however, few of us are aware of the importance of abdominal massage.

This technique addresses the lymphatic tissue and colon area. Damage to the large intestine compromises the immune system and can lead to chronic diseases. The food that enters the colon must be 90% digested otherwise it becomes poisonous to the body. It takes it about 16 hours for the indigested food to pass through the colon. Tested and clinically proven techniques help improve bowel function and the activities of other internal organs.
