About me
My name is Franziska Held, and I am the proud mother of two wonderful children. We have a passion for exploring the great outdoors, particularly through mountain biking and skiing. I have recently taken up running again and am eager to keep at it.
Physiotherapy has been a significant part of my life for nearly two decades. In my career, I've had the opportunity to work with the elderly in postoperative and rehabilitation settings, manage chronic pain patients in my private practice, and assist young professional athletes at a Swiss Olympic Medical Centre.
Through my work with these diverse clients, I've come to understand that simply treating an injured knee or alleviating pain in the lower back is often not enough for clients to regain their full range of motion and activity levels. Tensions frequently resurface, or pain manifests in other areas of the body.
​
I have expanded my therapy toolbox to include a set of techniques and a treatment philosophy known as Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI). This journey is a continuous learning process, as I discover new aspects of human anatomy and its functions daily. By incorporating principles from Lifestyle Medicine, I aim to offer a more holistic approach to help individuals, encompassing sleep, mental health, and nutrition.
