Neuro-based movement training

What I do

In my work as a sports / movement therapist and trainer, I work at the interface between health and therapy as well as training and performance.

I take a holistic approach, which means I look at the current situation of the people I work with as well as their past and other individual impact factors. I look at the musculoskeletal system in its interplay, not just the individual parts. The basis of my work is the brain as the control center for movement and a (neuro-) bio-psycho-social model of health.

Continuous learning is important to me and my profession, which is why I regularly read specialist literature and attend national and international training courses that help me progress in my field of work (NeurokineticTherapy / NKT, Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex / PDTR, other neuro-based approaches such as Z-Health (Dr. Eric Cobb), Motion Performance Systems – Martin Bialancalana; AminoNeuroFrequency (ANF), Intelligent Performance System – Daniel Ebert / Sebastian Firmke, Applied Kinesiology, Anatomy in Motion – Gary Ward, as well as relaxation techniques and naturopathic treatments).

The topic of natural forms of movement (Natural Movement) has become one of my passions. Together with my friend and colleague Bernd Reicheneder (www.neofold-academy.com), we have published the first German book on the MovNat system.

Neuro-focused training in sports physiotherapy

My colleagues Kevin Grafen, Dominik Suslik, Dirk Schauenberg and I have published the first German-language book that explains the targeted application of neuro-centered approaches in sports physiotherapy. Using case studies and return-to-play protocols, the exercises and methods presented in the book are assigned to specific procedures for injuries in competitive and recreational sports.

In addition to my work as a therapist, trainer and author, I am also active as a speaker in the areas of individual training, neuro-based sports and movement therapy, neurokinetic therapy, natural forms of movement and relaxation training.

As a sports scientist (M.A.), I am working on my doctorate at the Faculty of Human Sciences at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg on the topic: “Effects of visual training on sports motor and cognitive parameters”

 

I also take a holistic approach to life in my private life, together with my wonderful family. My greatest passion is exercise. I have been practising strength training, physical exercises, mindfulness and relaxation training and various forms of movement in everyday life and in nature for many years.

As the athletic trainer of SC Magdeburg in the 1st German Handball League, I have been integrating neuro-centered concepts into athletic training since 2019 and apply a wide variety of methods to take the care situation in the area of training and therapy for athletes to a new level.
