Questions and answers
What is the difference between Tronc Commun KT and complementary therapy?
The Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy forms part of the three-part training for the KT sector certificate. In five modules, basic knowledge of complementary medical work is taught, such as an understanding of health, practice management, communication and psychology, emergency aid and resuscitation, etc. In order to obtain the degree, however, the methods module and the internship as well as a final examination must be completed. After this, a federal diploma (KT AFPE) can also be obtained.
In contrast to the "Tronc Commun KT", which teaches cross-method knowledge, there are various specific techniques of complementary therapy, some of which are also recognized by the OdA KT, the organization of the working world of complementary therapy. For example: acupressure, breathing therapy, Ayurveda, craniosacral therapy, kinesiology, yoga and shiatsu.
What does a complementary therapist do?
A complementary therapist promotes a holistic and sustainable recovery process by practicing complementary therapy methods. They work on and with the body (touch, movement) as well as with breath and energy work and accompany clients with guidance and discussion. As part of their professional development, complementary therapists can specialize in specific target groups (e.g. infants, children, pregnant women, high-risk occupational groups, senior citizens) or symptoms (e.g. the consequences of stress or accidents).
How does complementary therapy work?
Complementary therapeutic measures pursue, among other things, the goal of a holistic analysis and treatment of complaints of all kinds. These take place on the basis of various influencing (internal and external) factors and in harmony with the body, mind, soul and environment/life situation. Recovery is seen as a process. Through the combination of body-centered methods (touch, movement, breathing, energy), conversations and instructions, one's own perception is strengthened and self-regulation is activated. New ways of looking at complaints and illnesses can be shown, which leads to a better and healthier perception, as well as dealing with pain, complaints and stress, which in turn can be healing. Patients learn how to use their physical, mental and emotional strengths and individual resources appropriately and responsibly. This strengthens their self-competence.
A complementary therapy session is therefore not always the same, but is shaped and adapted to individual, personal needs. In principle, however, the following treatment steps can be part of complementary therapy: Encounter, Processing, Integration and Transformation. These phases can overlap and are by no means to be regarded as isolated entities.
What is the benefit of complementary therapy?
Complementary therapy can be used individually or in combination with alternative or conventional medical treatment. It can help:
- For people with somatic or psychosomatic problems
- For people with mental illnesses or mood disorders
- For complaints that cannot be categorized in the classic range of conventional medicine
- For illnesses and disabilities of any kind
- For rehabilitation after accidents or operations
- As a preventive measure against disorders of self-regulation by strengthening self-awareness and self-healing or recovery skills
- For people with a need for change
- As support for a disturbed sense of well-being
