Pain Therapy
Pain therapy is personalized, pinpointed treatment using state-of-the-art methods and an understanding of chronic or acute pain situations. Dr. med. Florian Pfefferkorn will inform you about his assessment of your particular case, form a treatment plan and offer a series of pain therapy treatments, if indicated.
If pain therapy isn’t the right solution for your case, he is well-equipped as a doctor of internal medicine and a pain specialist to offer you a variety of other solutions and treatments.
Prevention
Do you feel overall well but simply want to be sure you’re in good shape to maintain your streak as a performing artist? Injury, stress and psychosomatic challenges can sometimes occur without notice and seemingly out-of-the-blue, so it’s extremely worthwhile to establish a strong foundation of health to weather any future storms.
Dr. Pfefferkorn offers consultations to discuss preventative measures for longevity on all fronts: physical and mental health, career, and general healthspan. This includes bloodwork to check for deficiencies, an examination of current stressors and demands, and personalized suggestions to your individual situation.

The Alexander Technique gives you a way to consciously choose how much tension and effort to use and how to organize your mind and body for maximum creative freedom.
Anxiety and Stage Fright
Maybe you’ve always struggled with it, or maybe it arose spontaneously and stuck around.

Can you be fully present with yourself, your thoughts, your emotion and the audience? With the Alexander Technique, you’ll discover a way to meet yourself with presence and empathy and dissolve the anxiety that is paralyzing you.
Optimization of Mind and Body
Have you ever imagined, that you could have freedom of choice in your artistic decisions and performances? A world where you aren’t constrained by technical limitations, limiting habits of movement, breathing and thought, and patterns of strain and tension? Or maybe you already feel well and strong in mind and body and want to take your performance capabilities to the next level? In an Alexander Technique session, you’ll find a way to optimize body and mind, wherever your starting point is.
