The process

Measure first. Then treat.

Every treatment follows the same sequence. At the groin centre and at every partner location.

  1. 01 Assessment A standardised functional status. The result is made visible as a graphic, together with the connections that led to the dysfunction.
  2. 02 Goal Duration and intensity are set together. Restore, optimise or maintain.
  3. 03 Execution An individual programme is drawn from a pool of 35,000 exercises. Five to ten sessions as a rule.

The system behind that selection stays at headquarters.

Der Behandlungsverlauf

Der Weg zurück. In drei Phasen.

Jede Leistenbehandlung folgt demselben Fahrplan, nachvollziehbar für Verein, Trainerstab und Spieler.

  1. Erstens Phase I · bis 2 Wochen Vollständige Funktionsanalyse: Regionszuordnung, Verletzungshistorie, genauer Schädigungsgrad. Ziel ist völlige Schmerzfreiheit.
  2. Zweitens Phase II · 4 Wochen Stabilisierung und Feinjustierung des neuen Funktionszustandes. Athletische Anpassung bis zum Wiedereinstieg ins Mannschaftstraining.
  3. Drittens Phase III · bis 10 Monate Funktionserhaltung durch laufende Analysen, funktionelles Aufwärmprogramm und das Erkennen von Warnsignalen.

Während aller drei Phasen: direkte Linie zur Support-Systemzentrale.
