Training and further training our members

When setting our goals, training and further training is understood to be the most important factor to ensure successful treatment. The activities are many and varied and are also used for the necessary exchange of experiences between therapists.

We are the first company to deal in shock wave therapy and we have offered certification in Switzerland and Germany .

These certification procedures have been recognised by Swiss and German doctors' associations because they award appropriate training points or what are called credits. The demands on graduates of the courses are high. This is obvious because those paying for the service (patients and modern insurance companies) expect treatment to be of a very high quality and in line with the latest scientific knowledge and studies.

The one-day events are conducted by experienced scientific and research lecturers and successful practitioners. Currently our courses include the following:

•  Physical characteristics and the current status of the basic research.  
• Indications and contra-indications 
• Detailed treatments of tendinosis calcarea of the shoulder, epicondylitis radialis humeri, plantare fasziitis, tendon pathologies 
• Trigger point treatment with practical workshop 
• Checks to ensure that progress is being made and final examination

All successful graduates receive the ATRAD certificate.

We remain active in this sector. Particularly in knowledge because only if we continue with an amazingly high rate of healing will we achieve greater recognition and a breakthrough for our method.
