Arthrose

Avoid surgery with FPZ hip and knee therapy

Osteoarthritis is one of the most widespread diseases in Germany. Osteoarthritis in the hip or knee joint in particular often severely restricts everyday life and causes chronic pain. Together with the Research and Prevention Center (FPZ), we offer you targeted hip and knee therapy. This special exercise program and the targeted development of the muscles surrounding the joint are designed to avoid surgery.
