Martin Christener

Physiotherapist - Manual therapist - Certified lymph therapist - Studied performing arts, Hamburg

"Healing is rhythm, breathing and fine perception."

Until recently,physiotherapist Martin Christener ran his own practice in Basel.

His professional career began on stage: during his four-year performing arts degree in Hamburg, he gained a deep understanding of body language, expression and movement through singing, dancing and acting.

After several years on various stages and dealing with his own physical injuries, his interest in the deeper connections between movement, healing and body awareness grew.

This is how he found his way into physiotherapy - a decision that combined his passion for the human body with sound medical knowledge.

He completed his training as a qualified physiotherapist in Bad Krozingen. Since then, his therapeutic work has been characterized by professional competence and empathy, especially when dealing with complex medical complaints.

He has deepened his knowledge through numerous further training courses, including in manual therapy according to Maitland and at the Vollmer Osteopathic Academy. His work also focuses on manual lymphatic drainage (according to Földi), reflective breathing therapy and the treatment of craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD).

Whether in precise movement analysis, breathing therapy or gentle manual treatment - the focus of his work is always on the individual.

The artistic background remains tangible: in the attentive approach, in the fine feeling for body language and in the deep trust in the rhythm of the body.

Modern dance is and remains a great passion - for Martin Christener, expression and movement are still inextricably linked with therapy.
