Targeted balance training, gait therapy and falls prevention — with objective measurement before and after therapy.
🔝 Polyneuropathy is one of the most common neurological conditions — an estimated 200,000 people in Austria are affected.
Polyneuropathy is a condition in which many peripheral nerves are damaged at once. The most common causes: diabetic polyneuropathy, alcohol, medication, vitamin deficiency. Depending on the type of nerve affected: sensory polyneuropathy (tingling, numbness), motor polyneuropathy (weakness, foot drop) or autonomic polyneuropathy.
The feet feel numb — as if walking on cotton wool. Burning and tingling in the feet, especially at night. Falls caused by polyneuropathy become more frequent because the ground can no longer be felt properly. Foot drop makes every step uncertain. Polyneuropathy is often invisible to others, but for those affected it is a constant companion that limits confidence and mobility.
Establishing the cause of polyneuropathy and treating it medically is the work of neurologists, often together with physicians or diabetologists. We are your specialists for the functional consequences: unsteady walking, sensory disturbance and the risk of falling. We build therapy on your medical findings and keep adjusting it as the condition changes. The focus is on gait training, balance, falls prevention and — where needed — fine motor skills of the hands.
Focused therapy cannot cure polyneuropathy, but it can markedly ease the symptoms and demonstrably reduce the risk of falling. Our specialists combine research evidence with individual care.
Polyneuropathy mainly affects the legs and feet — and so has a direct effect on safety and mobility in everyday life.
The feet feel numb — like cotton wool, or as if asleep. Tingling that does not stop. The feel for the ground is lost.
Burning and stabbing in the feet and legs — worse at night in particular. A pain that ordinary painkillers do not remove.
Balance suffers when the feet cannot feel the ground. Falls become more frequent. The fear of falling restricts what you do.
The feet can no longer be lifted properly (foot drop). Stairs become an effort. Strength in hands and legs declines.
With focused balance training and gait therapy, many of our clients with polyneuropathy have markedly reduced their risk of falling and gained confidence in everyday life.
Straightforward, personal, no waiting list.
Tell us about your difficulties — numbness, fear of falling, unsteady walking. We explain what is possible in polyneuropathy and whether we are the right place for you.
We measure your balance objectively with the Balo system, analyse your gait and carry out a neurological assessment. From this comes your individual therapy plan.
Regular sessions of focused balance and gait training — matched to your progress. At the end there is a follow-up measurement showing what you have achieved.
Real experiences, real progress — how our clients have regained independence, confidence and quality of life despite their diagnosis.
I used to hardly leave the house without fearing the next fall. After the therapy I trust my steps again.
