Sometimes the key lies elsewhere
A shoulder that hasnβt been able to move freely for years. Tinnitus with no clear identifiable cause. A patient who feels slightly better after every treatment β only for the symptoms to return.
Often, the actual cause lies not where the pain manifests itself, but in a completely different part of the body: in an over-tensioned reflex muscle, an old postural imbalance that has long since been compensated for, or a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.
This is precisely where this seminar comes in.
Benefits/Learning Objectives
What you will take away from this seminar
- Understanding reflex muscles β recognising the reflex muscle concept as the bodyβs protective system and utilising it in a targeted manner.
- Identifying key regions β Assessing and treating the temporomandibular joint/cervical spine, diaphragm, pelvis/hip and lower limbs through palpation.
- Comprehending autonomic connections β Integrating muscle tone, postural stability and the vagus nerve complex into your own assessment.
- Applying the system units with confidence β Selecting the two LuXXaMed system units according to the specific indication.
- Thinking from symptom to system β A new guiding principle for your own practice.
Target audience
This seminar is aimed at physiotherapists, alternative practitioners, occupational therapists and doctors who use microcurrent therapy and wish to expand their treatment approach to include a systemic, biomechanically grounded perspective.
Programme
Day 1 Β· Thu, 29 Oct 2026 Β· 10:00β17:00 β Theory & Assessment
: The reflex muscle concept, key regions, statics and chain reactions, as well as the biomechanical relationships to autonomic regulation.
Day 2 Β· Fri, 30 Oct 2026 Β· 09:00β12:00 β Practical consolidation
Hands-on sessions on the treatment tables: systemic approaches, reflex muscle treatment using light and manual techniques, case studies.

Your speaker
Matthias Rother has been practising as a physiotherapist for over 30 years and runs his own practice in Heidelberg. Drawing on his many years of professional experience, he has developed his own, tried-and-tested concept: the 4-2-1 System.
His guiding principle, βAway from the symptom, towards the systemβ, shapes his entire approach β rather than simply treating symptoms, he specifically seeks out the actual biomechanical causes within the bodyβs chain of movement.
His courses are deliberately practical: Matthias Rother works directly with patients alongside the participants β with the aim of achieving a noticeable, tangible result in a short space of time.
βItβs not about a complete treatment β itβs about quickly identifying where the real problem lies.β β Matthias Rother
