The aim of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is to stimulate the affected tissue using focused shocks. This stimulates both blood circulation and cell metabolism, which is intended to alleviate the symptoms. The evidence for this form of therapy has not yet been confirmed, which means that statutory health insurance does not cover the costs. This therapy is an IGeL service according to GOÄ A302. The costs amount to €34.97 per treatment.

Typical indications for radial shock wave therapy are, for example

• Tennis and golfer's elbow (epicondylopathy radialis/ulnaris)
• Chronic shoulder tendon complaints with and without calcifications (impingement syndrome / tendinosis calcarea)
• Heel spur (plantar fasciitis)
• Patellar tendinitis
• Tibial crest syndrome
• Chronic Achilles tendon complaints (achillodynia)
• Painful inflammation of the tendons on the hip crest (trochanteric bursitis)
• Chronic pain in the back, shoulder and neck area (myofascial pain syndrome)

We run pelvic floor courses three times a year (separated by gender). Each course consists of eight exercise sessions lasting 60 minutes. They are led by a physiotherapist and cost 80 euros (on a self-pay basis).

Course times

• For women: Every Tuesday from 12 to 1 pm.
• For men: Every Tuesday from 2 to 3 pm.

Target groups

• Women with urinary incontinence of various causes.
• Men with urinary incontinence, e.g. after prostate or bladder surgery.

Contents

• Participants receive information about the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor, learn about their current condition, how to support and stabilize their pelvic floor and how to coordinate the diaphragm and pelvic floor. They improve their awareness of the pelvic floor, breathing and posture, are enabled to practise independently and learn how to integrate exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles into everyday life. They will also learn how to change behavior that damages the pelvic floor.

Prerequisites for participation

• Urinary incontinence should be clarified by a urologist/gynecologist beforehand.
