TECHNIQUES

Because evidence-based practice (EBP) is a top priority at REFF, all selected techniques follow physiotherapy treatment guidelines and are recognized by umbrella organizations ( World Physiotherapy , IFOMPT , APTA ).

TECHNIQUES

MAITLAND CONCEPT

The Maitland concept is part of orthopedic manual physiotherapy, a specialization within physiotherapy. This form of therapy is primarily concerned with the targeted treatment and treatment of orthopedic problems – diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. [1]

IASTM-ERGON

IASTM - Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation. The ERGON technique is an innovative therapeutic approach that combines static and dynamic soft tissue manipulation with specialized tools to treat neuromusculoskeletal pathologies. [2]

HI-TOP Therapy

What can HiToP® high-frequency therapy do?

Everything we already know from electrotherapy – with improved efficiency and better portability

• pain relief

• muscle strengthening

• reducing edema

• accelerating healing

• vitalization

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE

Therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed to correct impairments, restore muscle and skeletal function, and maintain a state of well-being. The scientific evidence supporting the beneficial effects of exercise is overwhelming. The benefits of exercise far outweigh the risks for most adults. [3] [4]
