My point of view: (Physio)-Therapy is Training! But the starting point differs for each person and therefore the training modalities r varying in complexity… Putting Inclusion first, supporting selfEfficacy and selfDetermination by restoring intrinsic capacity through scientifically based practice!
Synaptic Interference!
Discussed the Role of a Holistic Approach to Fibromyalgia Syndrom, a multifaceted disease with serious impacts on the lives. Although mental and physical performance are often severely limited, with targeted therapy, there are good prospects for a fulfilling life.

We have to become more evident in what we do and how we do it,towards a trustful, effective and efficient care model managing pain suffering patients with arthrotic conditions! It’s not about applying concepts-it’s about applying patient centered and active driven care!

Fear of falling affects 40-73% of older adults who've fallen 😰 Creates vicious cycle: fear → activity avoidance → weakness → more falls. Evidence shows Tai Chi, Otago exercises & CBT break the cycle!

Eine gesicherte, effektive und auch effiziente Gesundheits-und Sozialversorgung (z.B.: auch Bildung) sind meines Erachtens die wichtigsten Hebel für Innovation und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg! Diese Hebel zu unterminieren und damit zu spielen ist frevelhaft gegenüber unseren Kindern und Enkelkindern!

Physiotherapy is so much more than just a prehab regime! It’s about promoting courage by restoring bio-psycho-social performance capacity at different levels!

Get sweaty! Try to find some physical activity which makes fun! Fun is can be a notorious enemy of (chronic) pain! Give pain a great performance it won’t recover from!

Medical Shopping & Medical Wellness is no sustainable patient care model-but still: private and public health insurance companies in Germany pay either partly or fully for it! Why? Low value care, no real benefit, no patient-centered-care…

How much does chronic pain interfere with your life? New study says probably more if you’re a woman routinely exposed to sexism! Probably due to the stress. Pain is more of a burden when you’re already angry/scared…as women often are.

Meine Mutmaßung! Hätten wir ein weniger pharmakologisch geprägtes und arztzentriertes Gesundheitssystem, könnte man das Problem angehen! Autonomie für Pflege und Therapie plus einhergehende Professionalisierung!
