Therapy aids

Strengthening and stimulating muscles and nerves

The use of therapy aids has a supportive and positive effect on the body, whether by using TheraBands to strengthen different parts of the body, providing a simple massage with spiky balls for relaxation and improvement of circulation, or training finger muscles with squeeze balls.


Movement trainer as support

Motor-assisted movement trainers are available for passive movement therapy of the upper and/or lower extremities in people with limited mobility and in wheelchair users. Regular training loosens and strengthens muscles, boosts metabolism and circulation, and has a positive effect on cardiovascular functions.


Stimulate nerve and muscle tissue

Electric stimulation also serves as a therapeutic aid. Electric impulses can be used to stimulate nerve and muscle tissue, which can have a positive effect on the functions of the upper and lower extremities. Electric stimulation is also often used to alleviate pain.

Brief description of products

  • Motor-assisted movement trainers are used for daily passive and active movement therapy of the upper and/or lower extremities, in rehabilitation, but also for training at home. In addition to the basic equipment, accessories such as leg supports, etc. can also be ordered. We will be happy to advise you Individually.

  • Electrical stimulation is a treatment method that uses electrical impulses rather than nerve impulses to work on muscles. Electrical stimulation can have a supportive effect to achieve a new functional balance. When using an electrical stimulation device, electrodes that are stuck to the skin are used to create an artificial electric field. This electric field has the effect of stimulating nerve and muscle tissue, which causes the muscle to contract.

    Electrical stimulation is used in the following areas of application:

    • Improving the joint position in the shoulder area in people with tetraplegia
    • Strengthening muscles
    • Improving the function of the upper and lower extremities
    • Stimulating the diaphragm
    • and much more

    Electrical stimulation devices are prescribed by a doctor and always require instructions from medical staff.

  • Massages with a spiky ball are a way of counteracting stiffness after monotonous movements or incorrect load-bearing. The spiky ball is used for massages in the case of muscle tension, to support circulatory functions and is designed to be used for years.

  • For targeted muscle building and to improve mobility in the hand and forearm. Ideally suited for hand rehabilitation to mobilise fingers and hands. The Press-Egg is available in four different colours / strengths.

  • The massage roller is ideal for massaging the long muscles along the spine. It supports the cardiovascular function, stimulates metabolism and improves circulation and lymphatic circulation. The roller can also be used for reflexology foot massages.

  • The TheraBand is ideally suited for training to build muscles and protect joints and for strengthening work, e.g. as concomitant therapy after surgery. Regular use increases general strength, endurance and coordination.
    The TheraBand is available in four different resistance levels / colours.

  • When you sit on a Swiss ball, you discernibly take pressure off your spine, which allows a correct seating position.
