People who suffer from acute, recurrent or chronic pains in joints, muscles or tendons know how difficult it can be to find the right person to treat their problem. Most referrals are made directly through a physician, by word of mouth, or straight out of the yellow pages.<\/p>\n

But who do you see for which problem?<\/h4>\n

Berry is a long-standing resident in the Algarve. Since 2000 he has run clinics in the International Health Centres in Albufeira and his own Clinic Optima Forma in Almancil.
\nFor 28 years Berry has gained extensive experience in osteopathy and physiotherapy.
\nHe specialised in chronic spinal problems and sports injuries, as well as rehabilitation programs after hip, knee, or spinal surgery.<\/p>\n

Ideas in osteopathy and physiotherapy have changed over the years, as has the philosophy behind their management. In the past, therapy was mainly focussed on passive manipulation, and long term treatments were often necessary. But times have changed...
\nWe found that passive treatment created dependency, and therefore \u2018illness beliefs\u2019 became an issue. As a result of long-term treatments, the patient created a bad \u2018coping style\u2019, which resulted in negative behaviour, or simply being scared to move. The body adjusts to this behaviour, and a vicious cycle is born that just makes the problem worse.<\/p>\n

As a result of this realisation, treatments became more \u2018active\u2019, and participation by the patient is now required. By being actively involved in your treatment, this gives you more confidence and control over your treatment.<\/p>\n

Does this mean there is no need for manipulation?<\/h4>\n

Unfortunately not, but we know that manipulation is not always the answer. For example, if somebody has an acute back problem, you should not interfere. By following the right protocol, there is no need for extended treatments. It is important to go back to \u2018normal\u2019 behaviour as soon as possible. By only having a few consultations, most people will begin to understand that they can control and manage their own condition.
\nAs always, not everybody is the same and a tailor-made approach is required. But the concept is clear: long-term treatment or \u2018maintenance program\u2019 is rarely indicated.<\/p>\n

Echography and Shockwave<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s go back to the top line of this site: \u2018Centre for Diagnostics and Therapy\u2019.
\nIn the past, it has been, and can still be, a problem to find uniformity in diagnostics and therapy.
\nYou simply do not know what to expect when you walk into a clinic.
\nOne of the key issues in a consulting room is the quality of the therapist\/consultant.
\nHow does he \u2018create\u2019 his diagnosis? Is it based on tests and touch, or does he have the tools to confirm his initial diagnosis?<\/p>\n
