Ich bin rundum begeistert von der Pediküre bei Ivana! Sie arbeitet äußerst sorgfältig und hygienisch, nimmt sich Zeit für jedes Detail und sorgt dafür, dass man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Ihre herzliche und professionelle Art macht den Termin zu einer kleinen Auszeit vom Alltag. Absolute Empfehlung – ich komme immer wieder gern!

Ann Sheppard , osteopath specialized in cranial and energetic osteopathy, as well as physiotherapist specialized in SAMT manual therapy and lymphatic drainage. As an osteopath and physiotherapist, I work on rehabilitation and functional rebalancing of musculoskeletal disorders. In osteopathy, I also rebalance the energetic system, taking a holistic approach to the human being. We all practice general physiotherapy with a few specific specializations. Contact us for more information. Osteopathy Osteopathy is a manual therapy focused on the functional disorders of the human body. Through their hands, the osteopath assesses the condition of the body’s different systems (vascular, articular, visceral, cranial, or energetic) in order to develop an appropriate treatment. Philosophically, the osteopath seeks to identify the primary cause that generates the symptom by working through various systems (articular, visceral, cranial, energetic), considering the symptom within a holistic view of the human being. Physiotherapy Physiotherapy is a paramedical discipline aimed at treating or restoring the integrity of the locomotor system using natural methods such as massage, mobilization of soft tissues (skin, muscles, fascia), active exercises, passive or semi-active joint mobilizations, electrotherapy, or the use of heat and cold.

Mi sono recata presso fisioterapia Pisu, consigliata da un amico: uno strappo alla schiena, molto doloroso non mi faceva fare nulla neanche dormire. Dopo la prima seduta ho dormito tutta la notte, e quindi ho proseguito e ora non ho più nulla. Paolo Pisu è un vero professionista e lo consiglio vivamente

Ich bin seit einiger Zeit in dieser Praxis in Behandlung und bin rundum begeistert. Schon beim Eintreten fühlt man sich wohl: Die Atmosphäre ist freundlich, modern und sehr gepflegt. Das ganze Team ist äusserst kompetent, herzlich und engagiert – man merkt sofort, dass hier der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht. Ein besonderer Dank geht an Frau Hemmerter, bei der ich die meisten Behandlungen hatte. Sie ist nicht nur fachlich sehr kompetent, sondern auch menschlich einfach grossartig. Mit viel Einfühlungsvermögen, Geduld und einem klaren Blick fürs Wesentliche hat sie mich durch meine Genesung begleitet. Ihre gezielten Behandlungen, kombiniert mit hilfreichen Tipps für den Alltag, haben mir enorm geholfen. Ich habe mich bei Frau Hemmerter stets ernst genommen und bestens betreut gefühlt. Wer eine Therapeutin sucht, die ihr Handwerk versteht und mit Herz bei der Sache ist, ist bei ihr genau richtig.

Sven knew exactly the cause of my pain. I needed 2 sessions. I recommend
