The Klinik am Steigerwald
A place of peace and quiet located above the Main River plateau, directly next to a forest,
and the site of exchange
Among the patients there are always some that are seriously ill. If possible, these patients are included in the common activities, from taking meals together in the dining room to daily Qigong exercises under the direction of a physician or therapist. With its gardens and the vast forest immediately behind, the clinic provides many possibilities for social get-togethers as well as temporary retreat in meditative solitude.
The Team of Physicians: At Home in the West As Well As the East
The physicians that work in the clinic - under the direction of Dr. Christian Schmincke Â- have extensive knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Many years of further training have followed their education at the university. Patients find a new perspective on illness here. There is a regular exchange of information on a professional level between the physicians themselves as well as with therapists and the nursing staff. Physicians can often learn from the nursing staff and vice versa. As far as patients are concerned, they profit from the coordinated teamwork of therapy measures.
Active in Research and Training
Rendering traditional Chinese medicine productive for the West is one of the great challenges of our times. The clinic invests a great deal of energy in its cooperation with professional organisations and in research projects. The clinic also plays a monumental role in training. Throughout Europe, it is one of the clinics that does the most to promote training in Chinese medicine.
