Diagnostic services
Initial consultation and therapy
Our comprehensive care for each person is based on a detailed diagnosis. Therefore, any client who has not been in therapy with one of our therapists before must undergo an initial consultation. This meeting includes a detailed medical history, physical examination and functional tests depending on the specific issue. This is followed by the setting up of a therapy plan and a brief initial therapy session. All of the specialists at our clinic are dedicated to musculoskeletal pain conditions, in addition to which each has areas of deeper interest. The initial consultation is always carried out by either MUDr. Ortová, MUDr. Michálková or MUDr. Bc. Píšková.
Check-up consultation
In order to be able to monitor the development of the condition and the progress of the therapy, it is important to have a follow-up meeting from time to time. Together with your doctor you can evaluate the progress and its effect and agree on how to proceed. If you experience new problems, it is also a good idea to make a follow-up appointment to plan your therapy. During an individual check-up you will always meet either MUDr. Ortová, MUDr. Michálková or MUDr. Bc. Píšková.
Physiotherapeutical services
Individual physiotherapy
Physiotherapy as a field has developed a lot in the last decades and has gained a huge number of possibilities. A physiotherapist can help with solving various painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system (both acute and chronic), setting the right ergonomics of work and life in general. A physiotherapist can also be contacted for prevention in the future or to work with movement coordination and variability. In brief, if you want to move without pain or “just move better”. If you are about to start a sport, they can advise you on its technique and the dosage of the load so that you do not hurt yourself.
Individual physiotherapy for children from 6 years of age
When working with older children, the physiotherapist uses similar techniques as in adult therapy, but everything must be adapted to the age and personality of the child for the therapy to be effective. Often a form of game is used. The most common problems that affect older children are poor posture, general “clumsiness”, flat feet, valgoid ankles, hypermobility and general instability. In addition to therapeutical exercises, the physiotherapist can also advise which leisure activities are appropriate and which are inappropriate, so that the therapeutical goal is supported in everyday life. The therapies are led by Renata.
Individual physiotherapy for children from 10 years of age
When working with older children, the physiotherapist uses similar techniques as in adult therapy, but everything must be adapted to the age and personality of the child for the therapy to be effective. Often a form of game is used. The most common problems that affect older children are poor posture, general “clumsiness”, flat feet, valgoid ankles, hypermobility and general instability. In addition to therapeutic exercises, the physiotherapist can also advise which leisure activities are appropriate and which are inappropriate, so that the therapeutic aim is supported in everyday life. The therapies are mainly conducted by Renata and Áron.
Visceral therapy
Visceral therapy is a a gentle but deep treatment of the soft tissues located among the internal organs. It is based on anatomical and physiological principles. Briefly: 1) Organs are not loose in the body, but are connected to the spine and other structures by ligaments, 2) All structures in the body (muscles, bones, organs, nerves) are surrounded by ligaments, 3) All structures must be freely movable and slidable one on another. If this does not happen, increased pulls within the body are created which can lead to pain (both musculoskeletal, abdominal, etc.) But they can also have a big effect on the function of the organs themselves. This therapy is of great importance, for example, in functional problems of the digestive system (reflux, chronic constipation or diarrhea), in conditions after abdominal surgery or in gynecological problems.
Gynaecological physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can affect a number of gynaecological problems such as painful menstruation or intercourse, functional sterility, conditions after gynaecological surgery, incontinence, prolapse, etc. An important area here is work with the pelvic floor, which is dealt with by e.g. Mgr. Renáta Juříková. Physiotherapy is also suitable for women who are preparing for a baby, we can adjust the tension of soft tissues in the pelvis and create better conditions for conception. Gynaecological physiotherapy uses a combination of approaches, mentioning for example the DNS methodology, visceral or neural therapy.
Neurological physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy is a very broad area. Physiotherapy can be beneficial for a number of neurological diagnoses such as prolapsed discs, oppressive syndromes of various kinds, multiple sclerosis, the effects of cerebral palsy (in adults), migraines and so on. It is also important in gynaecology or in psychosomatic disorders. Neurological therapy uses a combination of approaches, a very valuable method here is neural therapy, which Michaela Píšková is dedicated to.
Sport physiotherapy
Physiotherapy of athletes is a very specific area. Prevention is extremely important, as well as performance technique and compensation outside of training. With all this, the physiotherapist can advise and design a suitable and supportive regime for the athlete. The result is the resolution of pre-existing difficulties, but also the prevention of injuries and the improvement of performance in the sport. Each sport has its own specifics and therefore working with each athlete will look very different. In the first place, it is important for athletes to work with coordination, i.e. the perception and control of their own body. Next, stability training and strength development is key. Áron is particularly involved in these areas. The work with the psyche is also important, which then mostly falls under the expertise of a psychologist.
Physiotherapy for dancers
Dancers are a very specific group of athletes because dance combines athletic performance with an aesthetic component. It is to the dancer’s advantage to seek out a physical therapist with dancing background who is familiar with all the specifics and training methods. Dancing, like any other performance or elite sport, goes beyond physiology in many aspects. Therefore, compensating for the training load is extremely important for dancers to prevent injuries and painful conditions. Working on the quality of dance technique and partnering is also very important. Dealing with injuries and painful conditions that have already occurred also has its specifics. An integral part of this is also work with the psyche, which then falls mainly within the expertise of a sports psychologist – in our case Iva Riederová.
Physiotherapy in pregnancy and after childbirth
The stereotype that “pregnancy must be endured” is hopefully behind us. On the contrary, physiotherapy has enormous benefits for a pregnant woman. It can address painful conditions during pregnancy, possible diastasis, help a woman prepare for childbirth (no matter the way) and the period after it. The combination of visceral and neural therapy (Michaela Píšková) can greatly relieve from pregnancy nausea. After childbirth, physiotherapy has its place, especially in relation to adjusting the function of the pelvic floor, integrating the abdominal wall, helping the woman to “return to her body” as soon as possible. It is extremely important to work with any scars, whether from birth injuries or a caesarean section. Women´s health is a domain of Renata.
Psychological services
Individual session with a psychologist
Our philosophy is to look at the whole person. The functioning of the head and the body cannot be separated. That is why our clinic also has a psychologist you can turn to; either on your own initiative or after a referral from a doctor or therapist. This can be for crisis intervention, coaching, longer-term collaboration or working with the mind in sports training.
