Private lecturer Dr. med. Eva-Susanne Strobel is chief physician of the “St. Georg Vorsorge- und Rehabilitationskliniken”, being specialist in internal medicine, notably in haematology, internal oncology and rheumatology as well as in the additional fields of social medicine, rehabilitation and physical therapy.

The controlled outdoor training and its goals

The network of training trails at the climatic resort of Höchenschwand (1015 metres above sea level) has an overall length of 45 kilometres and runs around the village and the “Höchenschwander Berg”.

The trails for outdoor training are designed for a controlled exercise, which aims at improving the capacity of the cardiovascular system.
Every single trail has characteristic features as to the length, the elevation profile, the situation and the height.
Thanks to the different characteristics the patient is able to intensify individually and gradually the exercise level and to keep control of it.

Therapeutic exercise at Höchenschwand

Convivial physical activity and the favourable climatic conditions are two essential features of the health resort of Höchenschwand for the sake of patients and holiday guests. Both characteristics constitute the basis of all therapeutic indications and of all prevention and rehabilitation treatments at Höchenschwand.
The task of the sports physician is first to explain the impacts of climatic factors and then to point out the effects of physical activity and to depict in which way physical exercise should be practised successfully.

The orthopaedic and rheumatologic rehabilitation

Rheumatism is a general term for a wide variety of disorders.

For concerned persons, rheumatism means a painful disorder of the locomotor system or of the vertebral column including the nearer and farer periphery.
The specialists, however, draw a strict distinction between on the one hand degenerative rheumatic disorders, disease patterns due to “wear and tear”, such as arthroses, disorders of the vertebral column and of the intervertebral discs an well as neuralgia, and on the other hand primary inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as chronic polyarthritis, which is due to a dysfunction of the immune system consisting in an inadequate immunological response.
