Orthopedic surgery and Sports traumatology specialize in the treatment and detection of diseases and injuries to the musculoskeletal system.

Because we are living longer, our musculoskeletal system is placed under increased stress and strain (e.g. At work, during our recreational activities and in sport) and there is a clear rise in injuries and degenerative processes as a result.

The use of innovative medical technology provides for an improved assessment and treatment of these kinds of problems, which naturally also helps towards a faster healing process.

Services for orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system:

• Assessment and treatment of sports and joint injuries
• Surgery on shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints
• Performance diagnostics according to Swiss Olympic standards
• Sports medicine examinations

We use the lactate level test to determine your current endurance training threshold in order to draw up an individual and effective training program that makes the most efficient use of your time. The ergometer on a stationary bicycle or treadmill is gradually increased until the test person’s maximum level is reached. The lactate concentration in the blood can be used to measure the individual’s anaerobic metabolism. The anaerobic threshold measured in the test is used as the predicate of the individual’s endurance threshold and to determine the different areas of training and heart rate ranges. Our sports scientists and sports doctors will provide you with clear explanations on how to best organize and measure your training.

Spiroergometry offers athletes the gold standard in performance diagnostics. The extensive diagnostic tests are used to determine the performance and loading capacity of the athlete’s heart and lungs, as well as their respiratory threshold – maximum oxygen uptake. It accurately determines the individual thresholds for endurance training.

The athlete is monitored while exercising on a bicycle or treadmill ergometer until they have reached their individual maximum level. The test person’s respiratory gases are analyzed through a mask (breath analysis). The maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max/ VO2peak) is essential for measuring endurance performance. Individual areas of intensity and training are determined through so-called ventilatory thresholds. In contrast with the lactate diagnostics, the technical and equipment expenses associated with this method are much higher making it mainly suitable for ambitious and competing athletes.

FMS – functional movement screen

Der FMS ist ein standardisiertes Testverfahren der Hauptbewegungsmuster wie zum Beispiel der Kniebeuge und des Ausfallschrittes, die im Sport eine zentrale Rolle einnehmen. Durch diesen Test sollen ein potentielles Verletzungsrisiko sowie ineffiziente Bewegungsmuster erfasst werden.

Y-Balance Test

Der Y-Balance Test ist eine standardisiertes Testverfahren, das die dynamische Kontrolle und die Symmetrie des Körpers, im speziellen des Becken-Beinbereiches sowie des Rumpfes, überprüft.

Isokinetische Kraftmessungen erfassen die Kraftleistung in Bezug zum Gelenkwinkelverlauf. Ein wichtiges Feld ist die Erkennung von muskulären Dysbalancen beispielsweise im Knie, Sprunggelenk oder der Schulter. Diese können nicht nur leistungslimitierend sein, sondern auch Ursache für Überlastungen des Bewegungsapparates. So kann bei Bedarf mit entsprechenden Trainingsmitteln gegengesteuert werden.
Zusätzlich zum Krafttesting kann Isokinetik auch beim isolierten Training eingesetzt werden, vor allem die Möglichkeit von exzentrsichen Trainingseinheiten ist für Athleten interessant.

The Swiss Olympic core strength endurance test is a standardized strength test for the core muscles. It consists of three dynamic strength exercises performed using your own body weight. The test assesses and evaluates the strength of the front, side, and rear muscle chains of the core.
Deficits in the core muscles have a negative impact on performance in many sports and are often the cause of muscular imbalances and strain on the musculoskeletal system. The core muscles are an important factor for efficiency in many endurance and strength sports and contribute to body stabilization and precision of movement in many ball, team, and combat sports

A running and gait analysis helps to identify malpositions and disproportionate strains at an early stage and to determine the causes of the client’s complaints. Consequently, the analysis is extremely useful for both prevention and rehabilitation. People who active partake in sports as well as those who do not benefit greatly from the findings of this analysis.

Our movement and sports scientists, physiotherapists and partner orthopedic technicians guarantee a high quality of service. The running and gait analysis often serves as the basis for customized insoles.

We know how movement works!

The standardized jump test according to Swiss Olympic allows accurate conclusions to be drawn about speed, jumping power, and strength endurance. By integrating the force-time curves from the force plate, jump height and explosive strength can be determined more accurately than is possible with flight time in other systems. Jump tests serve as “feeder values” in many sports and are often more meaningful than isolated strength tests, as the entire muscle chain is tested.

The bioelectric impedance method determines the resistance between of the flow of an AC current as it passes through two or more points on the body.

The body contains different types of tissues with differing levels of electrolytes. The BIA can measure the water content, metabolically active cell tissue and fat mass of the individual body compartments. A further advantage of this method is that it can also identify visceral adipose tissue.

The AlterG treadmill (anti-gravity treadmill) can reduce gravity’s impact whilst running by up to 80%. It is used predominantly for treating injuries to the lower extremities. It provides accurate control for training and rehabilitation programmers.

Individuals who are able to present a doctor’s prescription for physiotherapy will have their costs covered by their health and or accident insurance. We also offer our customers the option of using the treadmill for purposes other than therapy. If you are interested, please contact us or contact your therapist.

Dry needling is an effective addition to manual trigger point therapy. The dry needling process involves inserting a thin needle without any medication - hence the term “dry” - with great precision into the trigger point (stiff muscle) causing the current ailment. This treatment relieves cramps, improves the local perfusion and reduces the local inflammation reactions.

For further information, please contact the site directly.

Isokinetic testing and training systems have been used in orthopedic rehabilitation for over 20 years with the purpose of detecting and treating muscular deficiencies and imbalances. In addition to rehabilitation, isokinetics is also used to optimize the training of athletes.

A medical massage improves the blood circulation and metabolism and therefore reduces tension and pain in the muscles as well as the entire body. It improves the patient’s performance and regeneration, whilst simultaneously purifying and detoxing the body. Different manipulation techniques and intensities are applied to achieve the objectives.

Sports massage

A sports massage is a variation of the classic massage. It plays an important role in preparing for training and competitions, or after great physical exertion with the aim of restoring previous performance levels. The massage techniques are individually tailored to suit the athlete, i.e. His/her type of sport and his/her ultimate objective (stimulation, improved performance, regeneration, relaxation or injury prophylaxis).

Trigger point therapy

TP therapy is used to target local cramps in the muscle tissue. It is often applied to ease painful conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, headaches, injuries, susceptibility to injuries and to prevent discomfort.

Lymphatic drainage

The lymphatic system is stimulated through gentle, rhythmic and slow pumping manipulations (pressure), which promotes the drainage of lymphatic fluids from the tissue. Lymphatic drainage is used for swelling after an injury, surgery and congenital disorders of the lymphatic system. It is also used for certain types of headaches and migraines.

The massage services can partly be billed via the additional insurance. Please check in advance whether your health insurance company accepts the therapist or treatment methods and covers the costs.
