Fitness & Training
Build Strength, Stability, and Resilience
Targeted training is an important part of modern physical therapy. Individually tailored exercises can improve strength, stability, mobility, and physical endurance.
The training is tailored to your current situation, your goals, and your physical capabilities. The focus is not on training as much as possible, but on applying the right amount of exertion at the right time.
Personalized Training Instead of a Standard Program
Each person is at a different stage. After an injury or surgery, the initial focus is often on mobility, controlled movement, and proper form. As your endurance increases, exercises can be gradually intensified and supplemented with targeted strength training.
Special attention is paid to performing the exercises correctly. Movement patterns are developed together, monitored, and adjusted as needed. This results in a training program that is tailored to your current fitness level and evolves as you progress.
Home exercises and a personalized home workout program
An important part of the training is a personalized home exercise program. The exercises should not only be effective during physical therapy but also be something you can do on your own at home.
You often don't need expensive exercise equipment to do this. Depending on your goal, your own body weight, a Theraband, a mat, or simple props may be all you need. I'll show you what's important when performing the exercises and how you can do them on your own and safely.
The at-home program can be adjusted as you go and expanded or intensified to suit your current phase.
A central idea of exercise is:
The best posture is the next posture!
Fitness for Everyday Life and Work
Targeted strengthening and strength training can help improve physical endurance in daily life, at work, and during sports. Gradually increasing the intensity is especially important in cases of prolonged discomfort or after an injury.
The goal is to rebuild trust in one's own body and to be able to perform movements safely and with control.
Regular exercise and a well-structured workout routine are often more effective in the long run than holding a single position or adopting a protective posture.
Exercise with Long-Term Benefits
My goal is for you to be able to continue doing the exercises on your own.
Depending on the phase and your personal goals, the workout is adjusted, your form is corrected, and the intensity is gradually increased. This results in a simple, practical workout program that you can follow even at home.
At my physical therapy practice in Zurich Oerlikon, I combine fitness and training with other physical therapy treatments as needed, such as manual therapy, PNF, or trigger point therapy.
