Pain is multifaceted and depends on many factors, such as a lack of mobility and/or stability, learned patterns, sports and accident injuries, stress, fascial structures, possible misalignments and incorrect loads in joints, tension, diet and stress or due to hormonal changes and much more.
Many therapeutic approaches work with one of these fields, but usually do not have a holistic view of the cause of pain, especially when it comes to chronic pain patients .
I worked for many years as a professional partner acrobat, stunt rigger and choreographer and have increasingly switched to teaching. I was head of the New Circus department at two schools in Denmark. In my years as a teacher and trainer, I had to ask myself time and again why some students were able to make rapid progress and others only small progress. Why were some of the students injured more often than others?
Did this have something to do with my teaching method or was it due to the physical conditions of the students?
Communication, dysfunctions, physical prerequisites and previous experience play a major role here. However, how I teach and how I communicate, what a movement pattern should look like, played a greater role than physical prerequisites.
However, the biggest factors were: breathing, neuronal tension and dysfunctional asymmetries.
Over the last 15 years, I have gradually developed my own techniques and methods to better understand these asymmetries of the body, make biomechanical posture corrections, recognize early injury risks and reduce them. In Berlin, I am the pioneer in this particular field.
The result:
Kraft Reha – Somatic Restoration
The Art of Restoring Movement
Prevention
Stability and mobility are heavily dependent on our breathing. Breathing also controls our emotions, stress, sleep and metabolism. This is why breathing is one of the cornerstones of Kraft Reha Somatic Restoration.
Therapy
Neuronal tension can have a wide variety of effects on muscles, muscle strength, mobility, joint position and much more. It is therefore important to check these and adjust them through therapy.
Training
No human being is symmetrical. However, the joint positions determine the muscle activity, i.e. a changed joint position in the hip or chest, for example, has a major influence on muscle tension and movement sequences. This can be positively influenced by targeted functional training.
My task and work as a sports and respiratory therapist include the following elements:
The first step is always a thorough medical history. Together we will go through the problems, pain and motivations that you have as a patient and that bring you to me.
This is followed by a movement analysis in which we examine your movement structures and sequences, breathing patterns and gait together in order to identify possible imbalances, asymmetries in the body and movement patterns.
Then the real work begins to help you out of pain or tension. We permanently change your movement patterns and asymmetries in the body.
Every person is different and therefore has different prerequisites and movement structures. That is why we work with a customized approach every time.
