Have a wonderful day!

Welcome
I am a physiotherapist and a clinical epidemiologist
No, I did not read them all. But I could
I love books
Research is passion
Conclusions are illusions
Why do I do research?
Because I did not believe half of what I learned in physiotherapy school
Physiotherapy needs research to progress
Progress will be slow
There was a time when we measured too little
Now we measure too much without using the data optimally
Science to practice
I treat patients in our private practice in 3902 Brig-Glis
Exercise is therapy
I try to exercise two to three times a week and walk daily
Effect of exercise exaggerated
and underappreciated
Research is teamwork
Teamwork is even better with friends
All you need is free weights and a bike
I love exercising but I hate starting it
A healthy lifestyle is not always easy
You could outrun a bad diet. But I can't run that long.
Research is my castle
Stupid slogan - but nice picture
Criticising research is easy
Research is like cross-country skiing: quite a struggle
I worked in Leukerbad for 20 years
Still sad
Old office view
Leukerbad. Still sad
Old office view
Still sad
Great things can arise out of chaos
For me, it was just chaos
Pre-PubMed
My first contact with MEDLINE was on a CD with one year of Medline (Silverplatter). I have no photo of me starring at the abstracts. But I probably looked similar as the cow
Stranger things: exploring hiking paths
I was involved in some strange research projects. Yes, this was a research project, not a holiday walk
Highlight
Symposium for health professionals and patients. Thanks to Gaby, Annick and Nicolas!
Anne-Gabrielle Mittaz Hager
she was the one who invited me to join the HEVS in 2003. Thank you Gaby for all you did for me!
Anne-Gabrielle Mittaz Hager, Principal Investigator
What an inspiration
This project started in 2006 and ended in 2024 with the publication
What an endurance
Celebrating a publication
Martin Verra, André Meichtry, Lina Nilsson Balfe Denkinger, Jan Taeymans (Manuela Eicher was missing on this photo)
No Car - reference to Prof. M. Z.
I'm not a motor guy, but I take every opportunity to show off.
Highlights: business lunches
Here with Dr. Martin Sattelmayer and Dr. Anja Raab
I wanted to get rid of therapies that have evidence against them
I failed
Assessment and training with neglect after stroke
One of the coolest project I was involved with (Martin Sattelmayer). Sadly we never published it because of recruitement problems
Favourite cover. Thanks to Steuri
The Niesen is a mountain close to where i was born. I used to run up. 40kg ago
Testing exercises for our research
We tested hundreds of exercises for home-based exercise programmes
Martin Sattelmayer inspiration since 2006
I can not thank him enough
How I failed to convince Sportfisio to change their regulations
During my years of research, i learned to fail
Good old times in Leukerbad
Four heroes and me
Good ideas come while moving
Kandersteg is one of my most favourite places
Myokines
If my ressources and contacts to expert would be infinite, I would do research on myokines. But let's postpone this to the next life
