Cupping therapy FAQ

Treatment should result in perceptible improvement after 1-2 occasions.

Cupping enables the treatment of cohesive tissue layers, where 95% of pain receptors are located. Therapy may cause discomfort or pain depending on individual circumstances and often involves bruising at the treated area. Our specialists inform the patients before treatment.

Skin conditions are taken into account during treatment. In case of birthmarks, varicose veins, fresh scars, acute injuries, burnt skin or elderly parchment skin, our specialists will consider it before treatment.

Dynamic Tape®

If properly applied, usually 2-5 days.

Articular instability, muscle pain, postural problems, injuries and reducing overuse during sports. It supports rehabilitation and sports performance, and can also be used to promote muscle function in neurological problems.

Fascia therapy FAQ

Fascia therapy generally, a treatment lasts 50 minutes.

There is usually a significant improvement after 2-3 sessions, but sometimes the pain is gone after the first session.

Depending on the individual, therapy can be painful.

FDM FAQs

Its immediate side effect can be light dizziness, later we may experience swelling or discoloration which disappears in a few days.

Yes, almost without an exception, but we can eliminate the permanent complaint by causing temporary pain.

Flossing therapy FAQ

After the compression exerted by flossing and its sudden elimination, nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood floods the treated area. After stabilizing the upper layers of connective tissue, by moving the lower one we can ensure the sliding of the adhering connective tissue layers. Overstimulating pressure sensors by compression causes pain receptors to become inhibited.

In case of flossing we work with great forces, so the band is on for no longer than 2 minutes.

The tool is a special latex rubber band, which is available in different sizes and strengths. It is always used adjusted to the individual and the area treated.

FMS

No. Practicing the movements may give a false result.

No! It is recommended for anyone wishing to start or restart doing sports or any kind of movement. Occurrence of undesirable injuries can be reduced by exploring and correcting movement pattern dysfunctions.

The screening includes seven simple, everyday movement patterns. Squatting, stepping over an obstacle, lunging, shoulder mobility, lifting an extended leg, push up, rotational test.

InBody body composition measurement

You need to bring your completed 3-day food diary, your specialist’s reports and your lab results with you if you have not sent them in advance.

Instrumental manual therapy faqs

Treatment should cause perceptible improvement after 1-2 occasions.

We may hear crackling during treatment which is natural, but not a condition for the effectiveness of the treatment.

Only physiotherapists or those with a medical diploma can be manual therapists, but anyone can call themselves osteopaths. As opposed to the manual therapist, the osteopath attacks the areas in pain with manipulative grips, without detailed anamnesis or assessing prior medical records and having a treatment plan. Manual therapy treatment always starts with taking a detailed anamnesis which is followed by inspection, palpation, active-passive movement examination and segmental examination, all of which helps in setting up a treatment plan. It is followed by treating blocked segments, loosening and stretching soft tissues and teaching stabilizing exercises.

Kinesio taping FAQs

It depends on the purpose. If the pain is gone, there is no reason to keep it on. If the aim is correction and/or stabilisation we can wait for it to come off by itself.

In the case of kinesio tapes there is no difference between the colors, functionally they are all the same. Its role is in the application of color therapy. Depending on the color we can talk about cold, warm or neutral colors. For example cold colors are shades of blue, these tapes are used for reducing inflammation and cooling. On the other hand, warm colors like shades of red can have a significant role in increasing mobility.

Kinesio tape can be used in many ways in case of injuries, of course depending on the severity of the problem. For example, it can be used to flexibly stabilise joints, to relieve reduced range of motion and post-injury recovery can also be supported.

McKenzie exercises FAQ

In the vast majority of cases range of motion increases and pain decreases after the first treatment.

Treatment should never be preceded by taking any painkiller medicines or substances as covering the symptoms causes false results during the assessment.

Yes, do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible during the painful period.

Mulligan manual therapy treatment FAQ

Significant improvement can be seen after the first treatment.

No, it is a fundamental feature of the treatment.

It was created by a physiotherapist from New Zealand, Brian Mulligan. There is a wealth of independent research to support its effectiveness. It has the highest evidence-based effectiveness of all manual therapies.

SCHROTH therapy FAQ

The exercises should be performed daily in childhood (with a therapist until learning the correct form, later as homework between two treatments with the help of a parent), as intensive therapy makes the treatment effective.

As in most cases doing the exercise alone is not enough, abandoning bad habits and eliminating the causes are essential to maintain the results. Modifying simple, everyday activities like carrying the right bag and having the correct sitting position. The therapist will also help with learning these lifestyle tips.

In childhood it is worth starting as soon as possible when scoliosis is recognised because best results can be achieved before the end of truncation. However, even in adulthood it efficiently reduces pain caused by bad posture and also strengthens weakened muscles.

Therapeutic massage FAQ

There are areas that cannot be treated without pain, so there is a chance that we might have to use movements that cause discomfort.

For therapeutic massage, please bring a comfortable change of clothes.

Trigger tender point therapy

It depends on the patient and the load level. After treating trigger and tender points it is advised to learn posture-improving exercises and individual physiotherapy exercises to prevent the renewal of muscle and tendon overload.

Pain may occur at the points and in the radiation areas during treatment, it decreases or disappears in a short time with the improvement of the circulation of the points while treating the certain point. This process is a sign of reconnecting the point to the blood circulation and the first step in healing. Muscle strain -like pain may occur in the days following the treatment which disappears within a few days.

These pain nodules develop to avoid overstraining as the body’s own protection mechanism. They not only can cause pain locally, but can radiate as well. Their pain can cause reduced range of motion and forced posture.

Vagus nerve massage

In general, vagus nerve massage is safe for most people.

It supports cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of heart disease. It alleviates migraines, reduces stress and anxiety, and reduces inflammation in the body.

The pressure points are located in the ear and neck. These can be massaged with circular and firm movements to activate the nerve endings and promote a feeling of relaxation.
