Medical Training Therapy and Physiotherapy in Krems (Austria)

Card

The David Institute Krems is a center of excellence for medical training therapy and exercise medicine specializing in preventive medical training therapy, outpatient orthopedic rehabilitation, conservative orthopedics, and specialized orthopedic pain management.

The focus of the treatment offered by our competent and committed team of specialists from various medical fields is on the factor of physical activity, and they provide patients with lasting support on the path to more exercise, better health, and a higher quality of life.

Medical Training Therapy (MTT): Customized Therapy for Your Health

The David Institute in Krems focuses on restoring and improving health through targeted functional diagnostics, muscle building and medical training therapy with strength and cardiovascular treatment.

A central point is the medical training therapy (MTT). It is a medically prescribed therapy based on scientific principles and includes active endurance, strength, coordination, and mobility elements.

Medical training therapy aims to optimize functional deficits, improve functional stability, reduce pain, and reduce the need for analgesics. In MTT, exercise is used as a medication, and it is the only medication without side effects!

An interdisciplinary team of doctors, sports scientists, physiotherapists, and massage therapists will set your personal therapy goals. In addition, medical training therapy is closely linked to comprehensive diagnostics. By combining individualized therapy and modern diagnostics, the David Institute in Krems offers ideal conditions for long-term improvement of strength, mobility, and quality of life.

Highest Level of Expertise in Modern Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation Medicine

The David Institute has built an excellent reputation in rehabilitation and prehabilitation in recent years. The institute offers innovative solutions using modern approaches to prehabilitation and rehabilitation medicine. Preoperative therapy improves patients' outcomes – fit4OP! The program provides optimal preparation for a planned surgery. Patients return to work more quickly, and individualized aftercare is realized.

The goal of rehabilitation medicine is not only to support wound healing after surgery but especially to restore and maintain mobility, stability, and independence in the long term. Innovative therapy methods, such as locomotion therapy on the AlterG® anti-gravity treadmill, are used. This allows gradual weight relief and real-time feedback that provides information on step length, stance phases, and weight distribution.

Interacting units with EMG-myofeedback-supported exercises and customized training methods also improve coordination to prevent further injuries. In this context, non-invasive surface electrodes can be used to visualize muscle activation. Patients can see directly whether and to what extent they can control the respective muscle.

The combination of innovative diagnostics, state-of-the-art therapy equipment, and an experienced interdisciplinary team make the institute a leading center for holistic rehabilitation solutions.

Treatment of Arthrosis with Innovative Therapy Concepts

We at the David Institute in Krems know the importance of physical activity in treating arthrosis. Arthrosis is an organ disease that weakens cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and bones. The muscle weakness causes the bones and cartilage to be overstrained. This leads to a breakdown of the cartilage substance.

Regular, targeted therapy stimulates blood flow and promotes the supply of nutrients to the joint cartilage. Since the cartilage has no blood vessels, it depends on diffusion – a process in which nutrients are transported via the synovial fluid. Dynamic loading activates this mechanism and supports the exchange of fluids in the joint.

Beyond that, targeted medical training therapy strengthens the surrounding musculature and provides more stability in the joint. The new David device system is another critical factor in targeted strength training. The latest version of the David devices enables automated adjustment and training documentation and provides patients with feedback on the exercises' quality.

This holistic concept improves joint health and sustainably increases patients' quality of life. It is designed to avoid surgery or delay the time of surgery as long as possible.

Schroth Method Spine Therapy

The Schroth method of spine therapy is a physiotherapeutic and effective method of treating scoliosis. It involves individually adapted exercises that attempt to straighten the curved spine as much as possible and prevent any further increase in curvature.

The specialists at the David Institute Krems have many years of experience and will work with you to develop a therapy program adapted to your needs. The functional measurement of the spine using the Medi Mouse can be used to track the progress of the therapy. The Medi Mouse indicates exactly where blockages and segmental instabilities are located and how the spine behaves under stress.

Specialists in Functional Diagnostics

The team at the David Institute in Krems uses innovative methods, focusing on functional diagnostics, to detect movement disorders and muscular imbalances at an early stage and to provide targeted treatment.

Highly developed analysis methods enable a precise examination of the spinal and muscle function, which allows the causes of discomfort and pain to be pinpointed. These include biomechanical functional analyses, which examine mobility and the muscular system in detail to reveal individual strengths and weaknesses. This precise functional diagnosis forms the basis for individually tailored therapy plans that are optimally aligned with the needs of each patient.

Particularly noteworthy in this context is the fully digital diagnostics using Skillcourt®. Skillcourt® is a diagnostic and therapy system that uses special sensors to capture people's movement in the room precisely and can test and train motor skills and cognitive and visual abilities. Studies show that visual and cognitive stress should be given more attention in rehabilitation. These tests provide information about the patient's state of stress, and the results are incorporated directly into targeted therapy approaches.
