Occupational Therapy in Munich
In everyday life, the functionality of the human musculoskeletal system can be restricted, for example, by injuries or repetitive movement patterns. Physiotherapy can restore or improve deficits in mobility or muscle strength. This involves the use of active and passive exercises as well as physical therapy aids. In passive therapy, the therapist uses targeted manual techniques to work on the affected area, helping to release blockages or prepare the tissue for active exercises. Active movement therapy, formerly also called therapeutic exercise, includes active exercises to improve muscle strength, coordination, or flexibility. A fundamental component is empowering patients to help themselves by integrating the necessary movements into their daily routines to ensure long-term pain relief. Physical therapies such as heat or cold treatments can provide additional support during the rehabilitation process.
In occupational therapy, we support you in regaining your independence in everyday life. At TRIUNE, we focus on two areas where occupational therapy is particularly effective.
It can make a real difference: the development of children and support after neurological illnesses or injuries. Embedded in an interdisciplinary team of physiotherapists ,
Osteopathy and training .
What occupational therapy can do
Occupational therapy helps people regain the ability to perform everyday activities independently, from dressing and writing to working. The focus is on the tasks that are important to you and the skills needed to carry them out: movement, perception, concentration, and action planning. Occupational therapy differs significantly from physiotherapy and osteopathy. While physiotherapy focuses on movement and resilience, and osteopathy addresses the interplay of body systems, occupational therapy focuses on concrete actions in daily life. At our center, these three disciplines are integrated.
Occupational therapy for children
Children come to us with a variety of issues: difficulties with writing, limited fine motor skills, sensory processing difficulties, attention problems, and motor development delays. We work playfully and with a focus on individual strengths, actively involving parents to ensure that the progress made in therapy translates into practical, everyday life. • Delays in motor development • Difficulties with fine and graphomotor skills (e.g., writing, cutting) • Sensory processing issues • Concentration and attention issues • Support during the transition from kindergarten to school We will determine together in an initial consultation, based on the doctor's prescription and our own assessment, whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your child.
Occupational therapy following neurological illnesses
After a stroke, in cases of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or a traumatic brain injury, often more than just movement changes; perception, concentration, and the ability to function in everyday life are also affected. Occupational therapy addresses precisely these issues: the activities that are personally important to you. • Stroke (focus: hand, daily living, perception) • Multiple sclerosis • Parkinson's disease • Traumatic brain injury • Peripheral nerve injuries We work in a practical and resource-oriented way. Our facilities are equipped to allow for even complex exercises. Assistive devices and guidance for self-help are, of course, included.
