Pain – whether acute or chronic – not only affects physical mobility, but also mental balance and quality of life. In my practice, the focus is on holistic pain therapy, which combines various proven methods to treat complaints in a causal and sustainable way.
A central aspect of this is the consideration of pain from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): specific pain localization, qualities and accompanying symptoms can provide indications of functional disorders and over 300 different clinical pictures. This holistic diagnosis makes it possible to identify underlying causes – long before conventional medical findings reveal any changes. Depending on the symptoms, I specifically combine the following methods:
The person as a whole is always at the center of my work. Based on a detailed anamnesis, I develop individual therapy concepts that are specifically tailored to the cause, course and personal life situation.
The aim is not only to alleviate pain, but also to activate self-regulation, promote freedom of movement and enable a better quality of life in the long term.
Traditional Chinese medicine views pain as a blockage of Qi (vital energy) and Xue (blood). If these cannot flow freely, tension, tension and ultimately pain arise. This is precisely where our pain therapy comes in: with acupuncture, manual techniques and – if necessary – Chinese herbs. The aim is to dissolve blockages, harmonize the flow of energy and reactivate the body’s own healing powers. This is not just about local pain relief, but about restoring balance to the system as a whole.
Our pain therapy is aimed at people with acute or chronic complaints – regardless of whether they have already been diagnosed by conventional medicine or not. Common areas of application are

Our therapist Ryoko specializes in pain therapy and focuses on the special Ken Yamamoto Technique (KYT).
Tuina Massage (Ken Yamamoto Technique)
Ryoko has extensive experience in manual therapy within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Her special focus is on the Ken Yamamoto Technique (KYT) – a modern, functionally oriented treatment method for correcting muscular imbalances.
The Ken Yamamoto Technique is based on an anatomically and functionally precise understanding of muscle chains and joint relationships. The aim of the method is to identify misalignments in the pelvic and spinal area and to correct them in a targeted manner through muscle relaxation and activation. This involves treating specific muscle groups that may be the cause of pain symptoms in other parts of the body.
The combination of Tuina and KYT allows for an effective, holistic approach that takes into account both energetic and structural imbalances.
Areas of application of the Ken Yamamoto Technique include
Ryoko uses individually tailored treatment and works both preventively and as an adjunct to therapy for existing musculoskeletal complaints. Her approach combines the centuries-old principles of TCM with the latest findings from functional muscle therapy.
