Physiotherapy

G-CENTRUM Olomouc offers specialist kinesio taping for pregnant and postpartum women, applied by trained midwife practitioners using professional-grade Rock Tape and Tejpovací škola tape. The elastic therapeutic tape is applied to specific muscle groups and connective tissue to offload painful structures, support the growing bump, reduce oedema, and address common musculoskeletal complaints arising during and after pregnancy. A single application lasts 7–10 days — worn continuously through showering and daily activities — making it a highly practical, low-maintenance intervention for pregnancy-related discomfort.

A grouped menu of physician-indicated electrotherapy modalities at Carlsbad Clinic, used for pain relief and circulation within its rehabilitation programme. Options range from Bioptron polarised-light therapy and therapeutic ultrasound to shortwave diathermy, Phyaction electrostimulation, a four-chamber galvanic bath and vacuum-compression therapy for the limbs. The therapist selects the modality that fits your diagnosis, and sessions are short, comfortable and easily combined with physiotherapy.

G-CENTRUM Olomouc's pediatric physiotherapy department specialises in neuromotor rehabilitation for children using the Bobath concept and Vojta method — two internationally recognised, evidence-based approaches to early neuromotor intervention. The service targets infants and children with central coordination disorders, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation needs, and scoliosis. Sessions are conducted by qualified paediatric physiotherapists and tailored to the individual child's developmental stage and diagnosis. Health insurance from five major Czech insurers is accepted alongside self-pay arrangements.

Magnetotherapy at Carlsbad Clinic applies pulsed electromagnetic fields for pain, healing and regeneration, with a high-intensity SIS (super-inductive system) option. Standard pulsed magnetic therapy is a comfortable 20-minute session associated with reducing pain and supporting tissue and bone healing, while SIS uses a far stronger field to reach deeper structures and can stimulate muscle and nerve. Painless and passive, it pairs well with the clinic's physiotherapy and laser within a rehabilitation course.

A menu of heat-based wraps and cupping at Carlsbad Clinic for pain relief, circulation and relaxation. Warm peat wraps and the combined peat bath-and-wrap deliver deep, soothing heat to muscles and joints; the paraffin hand treatment warms and softens stiff hands; and cupping uses suction cups associated with easing muscle tension and supporting local circulation. These short treatments complement the clinic's massage and rehabilitation menus during a spa stay.

Balneotherapy at Carlsbad Clinic draws on Karlovy Vary's thermal-mineral spa tradition with a menu of medicinal baths and water treatments. Options include carbonated and dry CO2 baths associated with supporting circulation, iodine-bromine and magnesium mineral baths, pearl and underwater-massage baths for relaxation, the bracing Scottish hose shower, and the indulgent Cleopatra's bath. Each is a short, physician-indicated water treatment that complements the clinic's rehabilitation and recovery programmes.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) at Sportovní Klinika delivers focused acoustic energy to chronic tendon and soft-tissue injuries that have not responded to standard physiotherapy alone. Administered in the clinic's treatment suite within the SK Motorlet sports complex in Praha 5, shockwave is commonly applied to conditions including Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendon pain, calcific shoulder tendinitis, and lateral epicondylitis. The acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and tissue regeneration in areas of poor vascularity that underpin chronic tendon pathology, breaking the cycle of failed healing that makes these injuries so persistent in athletes.

Physiotherapy at Sportklinik is delivered by a team of five qualified physiotherapists working under the medical oversight of MUDr. Jiří Neumann, Czech Olympic Team physician. Sessions draw on soft tissue mobilisation, high-performance laser, mid-frequency electrotherapy (TR Therapy), deep oscillation, device-assisted lymphatic drainage via the BTL Lymphastim 6000, and shock wave therapy as needed. The clinic's gait analysis platform — a Sensor Medica pressure-sensitive treadmill — is available to support kinesiological assessment and movement retraining. Kinesiology taping with BB Tape and individualized compensatory exercise programs using large balls, Bosu, Overball, Flowin, and resistance bands complete the toolkit. All major Czech health insurance providers are accepted alongside private patients.

Shock wave therapy at Infinity Clinic uses dual 2024-spec German devices delivering both focused and radial high-energy acoustic waves to targeted musculoskeletal tissues. The clinic is one of the few in the Ústí nad Labem region to operate both wave modalities simultaneously, allowing the therapist to select the most appropriate technology for each condition. Focused shock waves penetrate deeper tissues for tendon and bone pathologies, while radial waves address larger surface areas such as muscle trigger points and fascial adhesions. Sessions last approximately 20–25 minutes and are conducted under orthopaedic supervision. The treatment is non-invasive and is described as tolerable, with no anaesthesia required. It is commonly used for chronic and acute pain, tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder, and sports injuries that have not responded to conventional therapy.

Infinity Clinic's physiotherapy programme delivers individualized 50-minute sessions led by certified physiotherapists using a broad repertoire of evidence-based manual and exercise-based techniques. The team — holding bachelor's and master's degrees in sport and health — applies Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Fascial Distortion Model (FDM), Mulligan mobilization, lymphatic and kinesiological taping, soft tissue release with Blackroller, joint flossing, and functional training using BOSU, TRX, Thera-band, and Flowin equipment. Sessions are suitable for pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, acute sports injuries, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, and injury prevention. The clinic has formal sports partnerships with regional football, handball, and athletics clubs, and its physiotherapists routinely collaborate with the trauma-orthopaedic surgical team for seamless surgical-to-rehab transitions.

Neural Reset Therapy (NRT) is a specialised manual technique that works through the nervous system rather than directly on muscles. By applying specific directional pressure to mechanoreceptors — the nerve bundles distributed throughout muscle tissue — the therapist sends a signal that prompts the brain to reset the muscle's resting tension. The result is an immediate release of muscle spasm and pain without the need for stretching, needling, or force. Sessions are 30 minutes, client remains fully clothed, and no oils are used.

Focused extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) at Carlsbad Clinic for chronic tendon and musculoskeletal pain. A handheld applicator delivers acoustic pulses into the painful tissue across a brief 10-minute session, which is associated with stimulating the body's healing response in stubborn insertional problems such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis and calcific tendon pain. Because results build over a series, the clinic discounts sessions from the fifth onward. It is often combined with a physiotherapy programme.

The Dorn Method is a gentle manual therapy for spinal and joint alignment developed by Dieter Dorn in Germany in the 1970s. It addresses vertebral misalignment and joint dysfunction without the rotational movements or high-velocity thrusts used in conventional chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation. Instead, the therapist applies gentle, counter-directional manual contact while the client performs small, active movements — pendulum swings, arm circles, or stepping in place — that use the momentum of the limb to carry the vertebra or joint back toward its neutral position. The approach is safe for clients who cannot tolerate conventional spinal manipulation.

Physio Training at Physio Clinic Suchánek bridges the gap between clinical physiotherapy and independent gym work. Each 55-minute session is designed by a physiotherapist who understands your movement dysfunction and trains you to correct it through supervised gym exercises — targeting the muscle groups, movement patterns, and coordination deficits identified in your physiotherapy assessment. This is not personal training; it is rehabilitation-directed exercise supervised by a physiotherapy-trained clinician in the clinic's private gym.

Pediatric physiotherapy at Physio Clinic Suchánek focuses on children aged 3 and above presenting with postural problems, scoliosis, flat feet, motor coordination difficulties, and sports injury prevention or rehabilitation. Sessions are delivered by Mgr. Klára Pavlíková, who holds specialist training in paediatric physiotherapy, and combine a child-appropriate assessment approach with manual techniques, targeted exercises, and guidance for the family on how to support the child's progress at home.

The first visit at Physio Clinic Suchánek is a structured 55-minute diagnostic session that goes beyond a standard consultation. Rather than simply listing your complaints, the physiotherapist conducts a hands-on movement analysis, evaluates musculoskeletal function from head to foot, and identifies the underlying causes of your pain or restriction — not just the symptoms. By the end of the session you leave with a personalised therapeutic plan and, in most cases, an initial correction of the movement dysfunction identified during the assessment itself.

Follow-up physiotherapy sessions at Physio Clinic Suchánek build directly on the findings from the initial diagnostics. Each 55-minute appointment combines manual therapy, targeted therapeutic exercises, and where indicated, modern adjunct modalities such as MLS laser or EMS. The physiotherapist monitors progress against the personalised plan established at the first visit and adjusts techniques as your condition evolves — making each session a deliberate step toward recovery rather than a repeat of the last.

Physiotherapy at WE CARE Liberec is delivered by Lucie Nezkusilová DiS., a qualified physiotherapist and scientific advisor who integrates multiple evidence-based manual therapy methods into each session. The approach combines Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment) framework, Spiral Dynamics, joint mobilisation and manipulation, respiratory physiotherapy, and kinesiotaping. Sessions are tailored to the individual's movement dysfunction, pain presentation, or sport-specific recovery needs rather than following a fixed protocol. The clinic also offers dedicated prevention classes for back pain and joint health using the SM System spiral movement methodology, as well as physio-and-massage combo sessions for clients wanting manual tissue work alongside functional movement correction.

Physiotherapy at Sportovní Klinika covers initial injury assessment and ongoing individual sessions in a dedicated treatment suite within the SK Motorlet sports complex in Praha 5. The opening 60-minute session includes a full health anamnesis, standing and gait analysis, muscle and joint testing, and treatment on the same day where applicable, plus home-exercise instruction. Follow-up sessions use manual therapy, progressive exercise prescription, Rebox electrotherapy and high-power laser as needed. The 4-phase return-to-sport protocol — inflammation control, active rehab, terrain training, sport-specific movements — guides the full recovery journey. Kinesio taping and physio-fitness gym training are available as integrated add-ons throughout the programme.

A 55-minute individualised physiotherapy session with a therapist at Carlsbad Clinic, forming the backbone of its rehabilitation programme. Each session is shaped to your assessment — combining manual techniques, therapeutic exercise and movement re-education for back, joint and musculoskeletal problems. A shock-wave add-on is available within the same appointment for stubborn tendon or soft-tissue pain. Pool-based and group exercise options extend the programme.

ART® (Active Release Technique) is a patented, evidence-informed soft-tissue treatment developed in the USA and used by professional sports teams worldwide. At Physio Clinic Suchánek it is delivered exclusively by Bc. Jakub Suchánek — the clinic's owner and sole certified ART® practitioner. The method combines precise manual contact on the affected tissue with an active patient movement — the combination creates a mechanical shear across scar tissue, adhesions, and nerve restrictions that passive techniques cannot replicate, restoring full tension-free function to the muscle, tendon, or nerve.

A 75-minute guided Nordic-walking session in the spa forests around Karlovy Vary, led by an instructor from Carlsbad Clinic. Using poles to engage the upper body, Nordic walking turns a walk into a low-impact, full-body workout that is associated with improving cardiovascular fitness, posture and joint-friendly conditioning. It is a gentle, active complement to the clinic's rehabilitation programme and a healthy way to make use of the surrounding spa landscape.

Golf Without Pain (Golf bez bolesti) is CPM Pavla Koláře's dedicated programme for golfers, combining physiotherapy and physiofitness training to address the movement patterns that cause golf-related back, hip, and shoulder problems. Over six sessions — three with a physiotherapist and three with a physiofitness specialist — the programme assesses movement restrictions, applies targeted treatment, and then translates the therapeutic gains into sport-specific movement patterns that improve both swing quality and injury resilience.

Medifis Clinic's rehabilitation department, running since 2007 across Zlín, Valašské Klobouky and Slavičín, combines hands-on physiotherapy with instrument-based physical therapy and aesthetic reconditioning. Manual care includes the Vojta, DNS (Kolář), Mojžíšová, McKenzie and Bobath methods, soft-tissue and myoskeletal techniques, manual lymphatic drainage and infant physiotherapy. Instrument therapy adds shockwave (rázová vlna), laser, magnetotherapy, ultrasound, electrotherapy, microwave diathermy, Rebox and cryotherapy. The team also fits kinesiotaping and Superfeet insoles, gives podiatric and barefoot-technology advice, and offers medical massage, ACP joint plasma therapy and collagen therapy. Most therapy is one-to-one with a qualified physiotherapist, with a programme built around each diagnosis.
