PNF concept
The PNF concept (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) was developed in the 1940s by Dr. Kabat and the physiotherapist Margaret Knott. The PNF method is based on a treatment philosophy whose starting point is that every human being has latent motor skills that can be stimulated and activated through suitable facilitation.
The facilitation forms the basis of the PNF concept. Facilitation literally means "to make something easier", e.g. to make a movement easier for the patient.
Treatment of the PNF method:
-
Improving motor control and strengthening muscles
-
Normalization of muscle tone
-
Improving mobility
-
Improving stability, endurance, coordination
PNF can help with:
-
the time after a stroke
-
multiple sclerosis
-
Parkinson's disease
-
Morbus Bechterev
-
Surgical patients, e.g. with knee joint endoprosthesis or with hip joint endoprosthesis
Natural moor pack
The use of natural mud is one of the oldest remedies. Not only are anti-inflammatory substances released in the body, but also the minerals, trace elements and vitamins contained in the mud are delivered to the skin.
By supplying heat, not only can a reaction be achieved in the skin, but the deep-lying tissue can also be influenced. The increased blood flow stimulates the metabolism. As a result, the affected tissue is supplied with an increased amount of oxygen and nutrients. This results in pain relief as well as the regeneration of muscles, ligaments and joints.

arthrosis
