Lukas Mertens - professional handball player, national player

Thanks to Daniel, I got another perspective on competitive handball. After my cruciate ligament rupture in 2018, Daniel was one of my first contacts. He showed me exercises for my knee that I had never done before. Daniel carefully built me up again and gradually introduced me to the training content of neuroathletics. To this day, he is a constant companion in my training and has played a big part in my sporting success.

I had been struggling with shoulder problems for almost 2 years without being able to find the cause. After just half an hour Daniel localized the problem, after an hour I knew various rehab exercises, and after 1.5 weeks I was pain-free. Unbelievable!

Pascall Schell, Physiotherapist VfL Wolsburg

“I have now been treated twice by Daniel with a junior soccer player. Daniel was able to significantly improve a hip/groin problem that had existed for almost a year, which we were unable to get under control, after just the first session. Movements that previously didn’t work on the court were possible and completely pain-free within a very short time. Now, after the 2nd session with Daniel, the player can participate almost fully in team training.

I am very grateful for the support and can only give an absolute recommendation.”

Stefan Pastel, acrobat & breakdancer

As Akrobat mit einigen Vorverletzungen hatte ich starke Probleme mit meinem linken Knie, überwiegend bei geschlossenen Bewegungsketten. Ich bin zum Orthopäden gegangen, worauf dieser mir kontinuierlich Hyaluronsäure ins Kniegelenk spritzen wollte. Über die Arbeit bin ich auf Daniel Müller gestoßen und bat ihn, eine Anamnese durchzuführen. Zunächst informierte sich Daniel über meine Sportart(en), wie lange und intensiv ich diese praktiziere und welche Vorverletzungen eventuell schon vorliegen. Des Weiteren folgten unterschiedliche Belastungstests. Letztendlich zeigte sich, dass die Region, in der der Schmerz verursacht wurde, nicht der Auslöser bzw. das Kernproblem war. Schnell wusste Daniel welche Übungen in Frage kommen und mit welcher Intensität ich diese ausführen sollte. Des Weiteren bot er viele Alternativen an für die Übungen, die aufgrund meiner eingeschränkten Beweglichkeit nicht durchführbar waren. Durch ständiges Erfragen über den aktuellen Zustand fühlte ich mich sehr gut betreut. Letztendlich war ich überrascht, dass durch simple Übungen dieses schwerliegende Problem behoben worden konnte.

Sport is an important part of my life. After being diagnosed with a slipped disc in my cervical spine and spinal canal stenosis, I mainly suffered from reduced strength in my left arm. I wanted to get fit again quickly, preferably without an operation. In addition to consulting my physiotherapist, I was also lucky enough to be able to consult Daniel. Thanks to the detailed medical history and his holistic, individual approach to the situation, we were able to achieve a significant improvement in my arm within two hours with targeted exercises. After three more weeks of exercises, I have regained an estimated 90% of the strength in my arm. Many thanks for that!
