Kinaesthetics
Kinaesthetics in nursing: Understanding movement in a new way and promoting it in a targeted manner
Kinaesthetics is a practice-oriented movement concept that provides support for patients' independence, mobility, and well-being over the long term. Targeted movement guidance and communication through touch and movement not only promote natural mobility, but also strengthen the motivation of those receiving care.
Kinaesthetics focuses on the perception and understanding of movement. It is a holistic concept that plays a central role in professional care. The aim is to accompany patients in their everyday activities – not by 'lifting' them, but by providing targeted assistance that encourages their own movement. Our slogan sums it up: 'Are you still lifting or are you already moving?'
Kinaesthetics: A benefit for carers
The application of kinaesthetics offers numerous advantages for nursing staff:
- Targeted perception of movement qualities: Caregivers learn to recognise patients' individual movement patterns and abilities.
- Adaptation of care processes: Movement-supporting care promotes patient independence.
- Physical relief: less lifting, more movement – this reduces physical strain and prevents the caregiver's own discomfort.
- Empathetic communication: Touch and movement promote trust and create security.
- Teamwork on a new level: Kinesthetics opens up new perspectives in everyday nursing and strengthens team quality.
