Sports Therapy
In group therapy sessions, we strengthen motor skills, physical fitness and social skills. In individual therapy sessions, depending on the illness present, we place our focus on body image, weight reduction and increased motivation. We integrate psycho-educational methods (such as mental training and anti-aggression training) as needed.
We base our therapeutic measures on a holistic approach, based on the physical-emotional unity of the patient.
