Manual Therapy
Manual therapy in Baden – targeted treatment of functional disorders
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy treatment used to target functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. At our physiotherapy practice in Baden, we use precise manual techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore natural movement patterns.
Treatment is tailored to each individual and always focuses on the functional causes of the complaints, not just the symptoms.
Treatment approaches in manual therapy
Manual therapy focuses on passive mobilization techniques for joints, muscles, and soft tissues. These techniques are carefully measured and tailored to your current level of fitness.
Manual therapy is particularly suitable for limitations following an accident, chronic back or neck pain, and functional joint problems. It is also a central component of sports physiotherapy for treating strain and providing targeted support for regeneration.
The Prague School according to Karel Lewit
The manual therapy offered at our practice in Baden is largely based on the principles of the Prague School, founded by Czech physician and pioneer Prof. Dr. Karel Lewit.
This approach does not consider individual structures in isolation, but rather the function of the entire musculoskeletal system. According to this approach, many complaints are not caused by structural damage, but rather by reversible functional disorders of the joints, muscles, and nervous system.
Gentle techniques instead of forceful manipulation
The aim of the treatment is to precisely analyze movement disorders and normalize them using targeted, gentle manual techniques. Powerful manipulations are deliberately avoided.
The focus is on effective, painless treatment that supports the body in regaining its natural mobility.
The goal is to achieve a lasting improvement in function so that symptoms are not only alleviated in the short term, but disappear in the long term.

Manual therapy combined with active physical therapy
At our physiotherapy practice in Baden, we combine manual techniques with active therapy, fascial mobilization, and trigger point treatment.
Complementary exercises, training, and movement guidance stabilize the treatment results and prevent relapses.
