Myoreflex Therapy in Frankfurt – Understanding Tension Patterns and Influencing Them Functionally

Sometimes the problem is not located in "just" one place: symptoms are influenced by muscular tension chains, protective patterns, or overload – and this is precisely where Myoreflex Therapy comes in.

The Method

Muscles respond to stimuli by increasing their tension. This is precisely where Myoreflex Therapy comes in – while also utilizing the reverse approach: targeted manual pressure applied to specific muscle attachment points provides the nervous system with feedback capable of influencing tension patterns.

How we work

At the Lämmerhirt practice, we use Myoreflex Therapy as a specialized component: structured, clearly explained, and – where appropriate – complemented by active exercises to ensure that changes remain stable in everyday life.

Typical goals

Functionally influence tension patterns and muscular balance, support movement quality, improve resilience, and sustain progress through active exercises.

Targeted & contextualized

You are specifically looking for Myoreflex Therapy and would like a physiotherapeutic assessment.
We clearly integrate Myoreflex Therapy into your clinical assessment – so you know what this approach can do for you and how it works in conjunction with other elements of your treatment.

Recognize patterns

You notice that symptoms are linked to tension and patterns – recurring, shifting, or "pulling" in nature.
We think in terms of tension chains and functional interrelationships – not just at the site of the pain, but within the context of your movement and loading patterns.

Functional & active

You want a treatment that thinks in functional rather than isolated terms – and is actively complemented.
We consistently combine Myoreflex Therapy with active exercise guidance – ensuring that the change does not occur solely during treatment but remains stable in everyday life.

How we use Myoreflex Therapy

The central idea is that pain often signals an imbalance – for instance, due to one-sided strain, overloading, chronic tension, or following an injury. Crucially, the site of the pain does not always correspond to the location of the underlying cause within the body's movement and tension patterns.

Accidents or traumatic events can also have a lasting impact on body mechanics and movement patterns – even long after acute symptoms have subsided. Myoreflex Therapy aims to identify such deep-seated protective tension and help the system release compensatory patterns, enabling movement to become more natural and free once again.

Common topics we help with

Back and neck complaints

Tension patterns, protective postures, and muscular imbalances – assessed and treated at the muscle attachments.

Joint complaints & Restricted mobility

Movement restrictions and joint pain, where muscular factors and compensatory mechanisms are incorporated into the treatment.

Tension & muscular complaints

Treat persistent tension and complaints associated with muscular tension, including those involving the head and migraines.

CMD & Jaw Disorders

Tension patterns in the jaw and neck region – classified as part of an overall functional assessment.

After injury or surgery

Residual protective patterns following a fall, whiplash, or injury – even long after acute symptoms have subsided.

Intervertebral disc problems

Recognizing and treating load, protective patterns, and movement quality in cases of intervertebral disc disorders.

Supplementary components

Your treatment process

To ensure you don’t have to switch back and forth between “treatment” and “exercises,” our approach follows a clear logic: understand → work in a targeted way → actively stabilize → integrate into daily life.

Step 1 | Medical History & Analysis

We address concerns, physical stresses, and movement patterns, and assess tension, mobility, and relevant interrelationships.

We apply manual stimuli via pressure points and soft-tissue techniques—tailored to your specific findings rather than following a standardized protocol.

You will receive appropriate exercises (e.g., for control, stability, and movement quality) to ensure lasting change.

We apply this to everyday life, work, or sports – with a plan that is realistically achievable.

Still unsure?

Focus on common complaints

Sometimes the first question isn't about the method – but rather what makes sense for your specific needs.

In the "Common Complaints" section, you will find guidance on frequently occurring conditions – featuring clear information, sensible next steps, and appropriate therapeutic components.
