The method combines mechanics, biomechanics and neuroscience to create a whole-body workout that rebuilds movement patterns and activates functional areas of the central nervous system.
How does GIGER® MD® Therapy work?
GIGER® MD® therapy is based on the relatively recent discovery that it is possible to reorganize an injured central nervous system (CNS). This allows also improve advanced neuronal injuries and diseases - even if early therapy was missed.
The decisive factor for success is that learning processes stimulate and control the formation of new nerve cells. This takes place within GIGER MD® therapy through regular training. In this way, the frequency- and phase-coordinated firing of neurons, which is central to the self-organization of the CNS, is relearned. The Brain is systematically trained for new movement patterns.
Harmonious movement
Symmetrical patterns
Precise coordination
1000-fold repetitions
GIGER MD® therapy differs from other treatment methods in that it does not only affect the periphery. Instead, regular training with the GIGER® MD® therapy devices has been proven to be successful, reorganize the central nervous system itself. So even Significant improvement in motor function possible with severe paralysis - pain-free, efficient and without medication.
GIGER® MD® therapy is based on the knowledge that an injured central nervous system (CNS) can be partially repaired. Through regular training, it is possible to create new neuronal connections. Even motor functions that were thought to be lost can be regained to some extent by relearning the basis for the self-organization of the CNS, the frequency and phase coordination of the firing of neurons.
Numerous scientific studies have proven the efficiency of GIGER® MD® therapy and its advantage over other treatment methods. For patients with spinal cord injuries, it opens up the possibility of regaining a high degree of self-control and thus significantly improving their quality of life.
Effects of GIGER® MD® Therapy
Improvement of motor skills
More mobility and independence - active training improves range of movement, coordination and speed despite spinal cord injury
Strengthening the muscles
Builds muscle strength to better support the body - osteoporosis and muscle loss are specifically prevented
Better blood circulation
Training the cardiovascular system while standing stabilizes blood circulation and reduces the increased risk of heart disease in paraplegics/tetraplegics
Reduction of spasticity
Spasticity is specifically reduced and prevented through coordinated movement therapy - without the side effects of medication
Improvement of vegetative functions
Bladder and bowel control as well as respiratory function improve thanks to the holistic whole-body form of therapy
Prevention of complications
Prevention of thrombosis, pressure sores, joint stiffness and autonomic dysreflexia through regular physiological movement training
Frequently asked questions:
How does GIGER® MD® Therapy work?
GIGER® MD® therapy involves performing coordinated movement patterns with all four extremities with millisecond precision. These movements stimulate the central nervous system in a unique way.
Who is GIGER® MD® therapy suitable for?
GIGER® MD® Therapy is suitable for the treatment of all neurological and orthopaedic conditions - including paraplegia, tetraplegia and spina bifida.
How often should the therapy be used to achieve good results?
Regularity is the most important effective factor. That is why we also recommend purchasing a product for daily use from home.
How quickly do you see the first results?
Many users report initial changes after just a few sessions, for example: better digestion, better circulation, more core stability and balance, improved coordination.
Is there a scientific basis for its effectiveness?
There are various studies that prove the effectiveness of GIGER® MD® therapy. Contact us for further information.
GIGER® MD® therapy has been used empirically for over 40 years and has been studied in scientific trials for the treatment of paraplegia. Relevant publications are available in public medical databases or can be obtained from us upon request.
