Physiotherapist: Rafael Pestana
I started my therapeutic career focusing on acupuncture and various massage methods. I was inspired by the effectiveness of Chinese medicine’s healing methods and experienced the benefits of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on my own body, due to various sports injuries. I completed a three-year course in acupuncture in Brasília, Brazil and further specialized in acupuncture and TCM in Nanjing, China. Subsequently, I gained many years of international work experience as an independent acupuncturist and massage therapist.
Afterward, I was eager to combine the knowledge I had gained with traditional Western healing methods and therefore studied physiotherapy. In physiotherapy, I am particularly fascinated by the rehabilitation methods. Moreover, I enjoy observing how targeted movements and exercises can achieve quick and lasting results.
To date, I have accumulated over 4 years of experience in physiotherapy and 15 years of experience in acupuncture, TCM, and massage, both in practices and as an independent therapist.
I am originally from Brasília, Brazil, and since 2019, I have been living in Germany with my family. After obtaining my German state diploma as a physiotherapist in Hesse in 2020, I worked in various physiotherapy practices in Frankfurt and the Hochtaunus region. In order to work as an acupuncturist in Germany, passing the Heilpraktiker examination is required. I am eager to pass this exam in the near future. Therefore, my knowledge and experience in acupuncture and TCM can be incorporated into treatments at the patient's request, but only within the scope of what is legally possible in Germany.
The Practice Tauna Balance
Tauna Balance offers a holistic treatment concept, where proven physiotherapeutic methods, such as physiotherapy and classic massage therapy, are complemented by wellness treatments like Tuina massage, cupping, and moxibustion.
Physiotherapy treatments are billed according to a private doctor's prescription based on the fee schedule for physiotherapists (GebüTh). Wellness treatments fall into the area of prevention and are aimed exclusively at self-pay patients.
