Gino Gregorio's physical therapy practice offers you treatments and therapies :
.
Physiotherapy improves your quality of life, creates new perspectives and increases your well-being in every age group.
Through health promotion, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and pain relief, physiotherapy aims to re-establish an individual's function and readiness to move through daily life, whether in the acute or chronic phase.
We are specialized professionals to answer your questions regarding movement, pain of the musculoskeletal system, and mobility. We go deep to understand and recognize your problem and explain its causes.
We set, in accordance with you individual goals, strategies and therapeutic methods, making our knowledge and expertise available.
Physiotherapy can also be a differential diagnostic tool. If there are no absolute contraindications, it is sensible and more economical, to carry out as a trial treatment a series of 9 physiotherapy sessions. If, for example, shoulder pain decreases, then one has taken a step forward in diagnostic and therapeutic management. If physiotherapy does not bring success, the cost generated is around 400 francs. Compared to surgery or further diagnostic investigation a relatively modest sum.
Myoreflex-therapy places the focus
on functional muscle chains
.
Through acupressure we work on the sensors of the muscles that are in close connection with the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord).
Pains can be considered as a signal of disturbed physical balance, thus signaling non-harmonious movement geometry. During treatment, muscle chains are treated and stimulated. The therapist's finger acts as a tool for 'self-regulation: Through spinal reflexes the muscles regain their optimal tension and the patient feels less pain.
Treatment
In our practice, Myoreflex- therapy has been applied since 1998. Together with other physiotherapy methods (e.g., muscle stretching, kinesiotaping, dry needling) we want to offer comprehensive treatment and actively involve the patient(s) in the management of their pain.
Indications
Disorders of the entire musculoskeletal system, e.g. ex:
- low back pain, lumbosciatica
- lumbar and cervical intervertebral disc herniation
- functional joint locks
- temporomandibular joint dysfunction
- cervicalgia, cervicobrachialgia
- functional problems of upper and lower limbs
- epicondylitis
-& fibromyalgia

according to prescription.
What is the Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ)?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) functions in pairs and is one of the most complex joints in our body: it connects the jaw to the skull and allows us to speak, chew, swallow and make mimicry movements.
Disequilibria of the chewing muscles, alterations and movement deficits can impair TMJ function, causing various disorders.
Indications
- joint pain and tension in the masticatory and mimic muscles,
both at rest and during its use
- headaches: headaches muscle-tensive
- ear pain that may radiate to the face
- limitation in 'opening the mouth to actual blockage
- noises caused by the 'joint itself when opening or closing
the mouth: clicks, rattling, sand noises
- tension starting from the neck up to the head with
difficulty in cervical movement
- grinding or clenching of teeth (bruxism)
- ringing in the ears, dizziness
- rehabilitation after trauma on the 'joint,
such as fractures of the condyle and jaw
- inflammatory disorders such as arthritis or arthritis
- very stressful physical and mental situations
Treatment
The patient receives anatomical and functional knowledge that enables him/her to better understand his/her problem through functional and biomechanical assessment. Manual techniques on joints and muscles serve for a better recovery of the TMJ.
With active exercises performed under careful and direct supervision of the specialized physiotherapist, the patient subsequently learns to maintain the results achieved and will be able to perform them at home independently.
This is a very delicate field where the 'interaction with the prescribing physicians (Family Physician, Dentist, ...HNO) is decisive for the success of treatment.

Dry Needling (DN)
.
Dry Needling is an effective alternative to manual treatment of Trigger Points. In DN, sterile, disposable needles are used, which are precisely and hygienically introduced into the Trigger Points of the muscles, which are responsible for pain.
In doing so, muscle tension is relaxed, local blood flow improves, and the local inflammatory reaction decreases.
DN is applied:
- in pain and functional problems of the locomotor system
- in orthopedic rehabilitation
- in sports physiotherapy
Despite using the same needles, DN has nothing to do
with Acupuncture.
Is DN painful?
Normally the puncture in the skin is painless. A slight 'dull' pain is felt when the 'needle searches the contracted muscle bands (bandelettes). When the therapist pricks the bandelette it causes a sudden contraction. This can be unpleasant because it intervenes/subtends very quickly and unexpectedly.
Some patients feel the sudden muscle contraction pleasantly because they realize that immediate relaxation will follow.
Is DN dangerous?
No! DN is an absolutely safe manual therapeutic method. Thorough training and an excellent three-dimensional knowledge of Anatomy and palpation are the natural prerequisites.
The therapist must always know in which anatomical structure the tip of the needle is located. In this case, knowing the contraindications, the therapist follows the principle that 'when in doubt do not prick' there is no danger of complications.
It may happen that a small hematoma forms after a DN session.
The benefits are paid by the Health Insurance Fund (LaMal),
