Flying high.
Clinica Holistica Engiadina is the only fully specialised burnout clinic in Switzerland, is located in the Lower Engadin and offers state-of-the-art climbing therapy. Secured ascents are an excellent way of encouraging patients to overcome their fears and gain self-confidence.
The mountain guides.
Senior consultant Dr Michael Pfaff has developed the therapy in collaboration with sports therapist Josiane Daguati and specialist psychologist Andrea Gartmann. They are convinced that therapists are a bit like mountain guides.
Climbing is meditation in movement.
Teamwork for body and soul.
The programme is customised together with the therapist to each patient’s personal needs. It is aimed at striking the best possible balance between the patient’s own strengthsand the goal. For safety reasons, the first therapy sessions are held in the hall. It is feasible, though, for participants to go climbing with private guides in the mountains at a later stage.
It is not about climbing peaks, but taking action.
