Training types in physiotherapy

A well-developed musculature secures and supports the joints and bones from external stresses. Mobility, coordination and functionality are also a decisive aspect in physiotherapy. There is a great variety of training methods in therapy to achieve these goals.

However, since the body is very complex, a combination of several types of training is recommended. Pain in tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints is often accompanied by shortened muscles and stuck fasciae. Daily training does not take up much time and prevents complaints.

  • Fascial Training
  • Fascia Roll
  • Blackroll®
  • Stretching exercises

In mobility training, the muscles are specifically loosened by stretching exercises. The muscles are also loosened in mobilization training. However, this is done actively.

Due to a high degree of mobility, the training can be carried out well and is necessary for certain sports, but the risk of injury also increases with hypermobility.

  • Agility training
  • Mobilization exercises

A perfect interplay of muscles is indispensable for all movements and also serves as a fall prophylaxis. Especially after an operation, an existing neurological disease or with increasing age, the coordination, balance and gait should be especially trained.

  • Coordination and balance training
  • Gait training

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and training on vibration plates are increasingly used in therapy. Electrically generated stimuli stimulate muscles and thus stabilize the respective joint.

  • Vibration training
  • EMS Training

As a rule, overcoming training is applied.

This means that the muscle contracts and overcomes the training weight. However, the muscle is also stressed statically and eccentrically in everyday life and during sports. This means that the muscle must be able to hold a weight and even give way when force is applied.

  • Eccentric training
  • Isometric training
