Physiotherapy
The goal of all the physiotherapy treatments that we offer is to achieve a maximum of independence and to minimise secondary damage. In view of this goal, our experienced therapists offer a broad range of physiotherapy interventions:
- Physical therapy on neuro-physiological basis (Bobath concept/PNF)
- Manual lymphatic drainage
- Manual therapy
- Physiotherapy with devices
- Physiotherapy in the exercise pool
- Respiratory therapy
- Thermal treatments
- Electrotherapy
- Taping
- Cranio-sacral therapy
- you are an in-house resident or attend the support facilities, or if you are an external client and have a physician’s prescription for physiotherapy, or
- your child attends the curative education day centre at the Stiftung ICP München site, Garmischer Str. 241.
We enhance our treatments with the provision of optimal therapeutic appliances, if you so wish, under the always careful eyes of the treating therapists, physicians from the medical service and MZEB as well as our affiliated orthopaedic technicians. We will not leave you alone when it comes to apply for or fit or implement the use of therapeutic appliances. Another special offer is our therapy in the exercise pool, which is offered for individuals and groups. This entirely different setting and element enables our clients to experience movement in a completely new way. In addition, we offer counselling in kinaesthesia, which supports the transitions of movements in nursing, assistance and therapy through the experience of one’s own movement capability. It goes without saying that the focus of our therapy shifts with the life stages, and this is why we consider the continuous assessment and tailoring of the therapy plans an important part of therapy.
Physiotherapy at the Stiftung ICP München
In addition to the offerings described above, physiotherapy at the Stiftung ICP München also offers modern video-assisted gait analysis, which can form the basis for gait training and provides important insights for relevant therapy planning. Furthermore, therapeutic climbing and riding are standard therapy elements at the Stiftung ICP München, often providing clients an entirely new and different experience of movement.

Physiotherapy at MFZ Freimann (Burmesterstraße site) and MFZ Giesing
The accessible rooms in the therapeutic practices in our Freimann and Giesing sites are equipped with the newest technical therapy appliances, such as a Galileo, a balance trainer with computer software or a treadmill, which has a special harness to allow even clients with severe impairments to learn how to run with support. Both sites have therapy baths and weight-training rooms. The therapy bath at the MFZ Freimann has already enabled a number of clients to train for and obtain the swimmers‘ certificate, and the well-equipped weight-training room in the MFZ Giesing makes training in larger groups fun.

Occupational Therapy
The occupational therapy departments at the Stiftung ICP München
The departments for occupational therapy at the Stiftung ICP München and the MFZ GmbH support and foster clients of all ages who experience impairments in performing their daily activities. With our team of knowledgeable therapists and our diverse therapy offerings, we support you on your way to more independence at school, work and at home. The MFZ Giesing provides special animal-assisted therapy with our own therapy dog, Lotta. We are also a practice centre for training therapy dogs. For additional information, please refer to the occupational therapy section of the MFZ Giesing.

Depending on age, development status and requirements, the need for activity can be very different. A child may want to roll a ball or play cards. A student may prefer to learn how to use a wheelchair in public transit to go home after school, or an elderly lady may want to relearn how to go shopping on her own after suffering a stroke.
A client-centred way of working is very important to us and we try to accommodate the wishes for change that our clients, their families and their environment have. Treatments are open to clients living and working with us and to external clients who have a medical prescription for occupational therapy.
Let us address your wishes for activity together. If you have questions regarding occupational therapy at the Stiftung ICP München and the IKF, feel free to contact:

Therapie
Speech therapy
“The limits of my language are the limits of my world,” the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once said. Our speech therapists want to help our clients expand the limits of their world. This is why we offer speech therapy for individuals and in groups to promote language skills, speaking, reading, and writing.
“Languages of the world can be completely irrelevant as long as there is a hand and a heart to express the truly important things in life.” (Author unknown)
If spoken language cannot be used, we help you employ augmentative and alternative communication, such as signing, facial expressions, gestures, or help you apply for technical communication devices like a language computer. Language happens in everyday life. To use it, it must have a meaning, a goal and a purpose both for us and our clients. We want to enable our clients to continually rediscover their communication goals and to achieve language independence at a high level, aligning our common goals with their everyday life.
Our therapeutic offerings are directed both towards participants who live and work with us and towards external clients on the basis of a medical prescription for speech therapy.
