Manual Therapy

Massage, cupping and alternative healing methods

Manual Therapy

One area of manual therapy is the treatment of joints, muscles, and fascia, which intends to eliminate dysfunction. As part of manual medicine, it is used by physiotherapists and in alternative healing.

Physical therapy

For this type of treatment we have added to our product catalog massage cupping glasses and cupping glasses made of high-quality borosilicate glass 3.3 – optionally available with suitable hose connection or cadmium-free bulb of flexible PVC.
In addition, we offer ergonomically shaped massage tools of rosewood which stimulate trigger points deep into the muscles. Further applications of the tool are acupressure, foot reflexology, tui na (Chinese manipulative therapy) and shiatsu massage.
Gua sha (oil scraping massage) is a traditional Asian technique. Blood flow and metabolism are intended to be stimulated by scraping the skin of tense body regions. For an optimal application of this technique, our high quality Gua Sha scrapers of jade are recommended.
We also offer the classic massage ball with spiky points made of cadmium-free soft PVC.

Safety instructions for cupping therapy:

The following recommendations represent the current state of our knowledge. We assume no liability for the consequences of improper use. Attention should be paid to:

The product is intended for use by qualified personnel only.
The cupping glasses must be hygienically treated to avoid cross-infection.
The disinfection and cleaning can be done in a dishwasher, or with high-proof alcohol.
The cupping glasses have to be applied to the skin disinfected and clean.
Don’t use damaged glasses!
If the vacuum is generated by burning cotton, the residue has to be removed before treatment.
No cupping in the face or in the cardiac region!
The glasses should not remain on the skin for more than 10 to 15 minutes.
In any case observe the legal regulations.

Applications for alternative medicine

Our tapes are frequently used in manual therapy. Taping is an alternative therapy to relieve painful disorders of muscles, tendons or skeleton. It supports the body’s own healing process and is virtually free of side effects.
The effect of the tape is corresponding to its color which is shown in the color theory of kinesiology:

pink and red: energy will be strengthened
blue: energy will be sedated
beige and white: neutral
black: inactive and calming
green: balancing and regenerating
yellow and orange: positive and brightening
violet: stimulating and liberating

Note: A scientific evidence of efficacy has not yet been provided for many traditional and alternative healing methods. This also applies to the use of these products.

Hydrometers and thermometers

Accurate temperature and density measurement

Hydrometers and thermometers

Thermometers digital or classic version made of glass: The solid and accurate measuring instruments have proven themselves. We offer not just temperature measuring instruments and density hydrometers but also rain gauges, fermentation saccharometers, ph meters and vinometers. This allows precise measurements and determinations.
However, our hydrometers and thermometers are not only intended for use in laboratories. They may also be helpful in everyday situations. Our products are characterized by a simple and convenient design. Thus, they are as perfect for the living room or garden as for the laboratory.

Hydrometers

Hydrometers use the Archimedean principle to measure the density or specific gravity of a liquid. The hydrometer displaces liquid and thus sinks into it depending on the density. This simple principle allows very accurate measurements to be achieved with minimal effort. Due to the high glass quality, the hydrometers are easy to clean and their scales always remain clearly legible.

Thermometers

The first alcohol-based thermometer has been invented in Italy in 1654. Since then much has been improved in its manufacture, precision and versatility.
The reliable analog thermometer is an indispensable part of daily life – whether used in the living room, the sauna or the lab. The modern version, the digital thermometer, allows further application purposes, such as recording or prediction of temperatures.

Additional instruments

Hydrometers and thermometers are only a part of our range. We also score with additional instruments like ph meter, pycnometers and vinometers. The diversity of our offering is highly appreciated by our customers. Here, too, we give priority to reliability and accuracy, because it is important to us to always offer the perfect solution in outstanding quality.
