The success of FaceFormer therapy has been documented many times through scientific evidence and patient reports. Even patients who had previously been treated unsuccessfully with other methods for many years saw improvements after a short time when they used the FF method. They were often only guided by a short manual that came with the FaceFormer.

However, professional users of FaceFormer therapy cannot be satisfied with brief information. Successful work requires a broad understanding of therapy. The FaceFormer is the training device used to carry out FaceFormer therapy and is based on a comprehensive concept of theory and practice.

FaceFormer therapy is based on neuroscientific research approaches. It aims to treat dysfunctions in cranio-cervical interaction segments using "exercise therapy". If such deviations exist, functions are adjusted in a compensatory manner, a prerequisite for numerous disease developments with different symptoms. Symptomatic treatments are fundamentally unsuitable for bringing about lasting improvements: Pharmacological, supporting, guiding and holding aids only work - if at all - when used immediately. Symptomatic long-term therapies often make the diseases worse. Without corrective training therapy, behavior, habits, movements, postures, tensions, patterns and reflexes cannot be changed, and functional pain conditions cannot be resolved. But exercise treatments can also be unsuccessful if they ignore neurophysiological control mechanisms. If exercises deviate too far from physiological patterns and from the development-proximal course, treatments are unnecessarily extended and the desired success is not achieved.

FaceFormer therapy places functional relationships in a causal context and highlights relevant diagnostic features. The exercises are precisely oriented towards physiological patterns and their complex functional chains. They create central stimuli and thus the successful reversal of malfunctions.

The seminar will discuss the theoretical and practical foundations of FaceFormer therapy, cause/symptom relationships and its position in relation to other methods.
