Physiotherapy for children aged 8 to 18
A therapy targeting spinal, back or body issues for all boys throughout their developmental years. Our physiotherapists who specialize in this area will conduct an entry analis to understand the initial situation, then carry out targeted therapy according to the needs of the boy/y and send an informational report to the prescribing physician.
For whom it is designed:
- boys with spinal problems
- young people with a "crooked back"
- youths with scoliotic posture
- youth with problems in the knees, feet, hips
- youth with cervical and/or shoulder disorders
- deconditioned/out-of-shape youth
MTT (Autonomous Training)
MTT = Autonomous muscle strengthening therapy
MTT means "Autonomous muscle strengthening therapy," carried out for rehabilitation purposes in a physical therapy center.
MTT is prescribed by a doctor and reimbursed by basic health insurance. In contrast, the fitness subscription is partially reimbursed by supplementary health insurance.
This active muscle-strengthening therapy is carried out e.g. after a course of physiotherapy, with the aim of improving the results achieved and maintaining them over time.
The patient receives from the physiotherapist an individual exercise program targeted to his or her problems and abilities. Based on this program, the patient can come to exercise in the gym of a physiotherapy center independently and without the need for an appointment. Therapists at the center ensure supervision of the patient.
HURT WAXES:
Pain-free mobility thanks to URT WAVE therapy.
The mechanism of action: shock waves act differently depending on the pathological tissue they go to treat (bone, soft tissue, skin). In general they stimulate the activation of natural biological repair processes.
Effects of shock waves:The beneficial effects of shock wave therapy are detectable already after 2 - 4 sessions. The therapy eliminates pain and restores complete mobility, thus improving the quality of life.
In addition to the antiphlogisitic effect related to the removal of inflammation metabolites, shock waves induce pain reduction by inhibition of specific receptors, which therefore cannot transmit the pain impulse, and by the local release of endorphins, special substances produced by our body that can reduce pain sensitivity.
Another important effect of shock waves is to cause the disappearance of muscle calcifications produced by muscle trauma. The mechanism of action is related to fragmentation and cavitation within the calcification itself, which leads to its disorganization and fragmentation. Subsequently, the disappearance of the debris is related to the passage into the newly formed vessels.
Scientifically substantiated pathologies now concern:
Bone tissues
- Delayed consolidation/pseudoarthrosis
- Aseptic necrosis humeral head/femur
- Stress fractures
- Algoneurodystrophy
Soft tissue pathologies
- Chondrocalcinosis elbow, hip, knee
- Shoulder/elbow/hip/knee joint stiffness
- Calcification and ossification
- Oxifying myositis
- Fibromatosis of muscles, ligaments, fascia
Soft tissue tendinopathies
- Calcific tendinopathy of shoulder
- Lateral elbow hypicondylitis
- Trochanteric tendonitis
- Goose foot tendonitis
- Posttraumatic knee tendonitis
- Patellar tendonitis
- Achilles tendon tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis with calcaneal spur
TECAR THERAPY
Pain reduction and tissue repair through Tecar Therapy
What is Tecar Therapy: Tecar Therapy is a technique that stimulates the natural regeneration process of biological tissues from within, activating the natural reparative and anti-inflammatory processes.
The mechanism of action: the first key action is related to stimulation of microcirculation, the second is to increase vasodilation, and the third is related to increasing endogenous temperature resulting in increased cellular metabolism.
Effects of Tecar Therapy: the effects of Tecar Therapy are an increase in metabolic activity with increased ATP production (and thus a speeding up of repair), an increase in blood circulation and lymphatic drainage due to heat vasodilation (and thus improved tissue oxygenation and reabsorption of edema).
Therapeutic indications:
- Cervicalgia, acute low back pain
- Cervicalgia, chronic low back pain
- Painful shoulder
- Distorting trauma
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Edemas
- Postoperative treatment
KINESIOTAPE
Kinesiotape: the elastic adhesive bandage
Kinesiotape is an elastic adhesive bandage with bio-mechanical therapeutic effect. It is a technique based on the natural healing process of one's body through the activation of circulatory and neurological systems. Muscles are attributed not only with the task of moving the body, but also with controlling the circulation of venous and lymphatic fluids, body temperature, etc.
Kinesiotape is used in multiple areas of physiotherapy and rehabilitation as a support to other techniques while improving their effects and results.
Indications: treatment of muscle disorders from sports, treatment of edema and pain management, joint inflammation and stiffness, muscle fatigue, support of postural attitude correction through facilitation or inhibition of muscle contraction of specific muscle groups, trauma sequelae.

Nutrition and exercise
Losing weight has never been easy. But with us you are followed regularly until you can manage on your own.
Being fit and having optimal health are very often the result of proper nutrition and the practice of physical activity.
Food education allows us to become aware of the foods we need to eat in a healthy way and to change those wrong eating habits that do not allow us to feel healthy.
The practice of physical activity must be understood. Depending on the individual person's ability, a specific and individual program must be developed.
To the specialized nutritional counselor we refer not only people with weight problems, but also and especially people who need to learn how to eat better and balance their daily diet correctly
.
With our help you will learn how not to make nutritional mistakes and how to move in the right way.
