Italian Health Retreat 2025

Myoreflex therapy®, regeneration and painfree movement

The interdisciplinary approach of Myoreflex therapy® is the cornerstone of the Italian Health Retreat. We uncover tense muscle structures and corresponding body impulses and make them conscious through touch. The treatment holds a mirror up to the human organism, as it were, and in this way initiates regulation.

Gentle morning movement is combined with daily Myoreflex therapy®, movement analysis, Somatic Experiencing® and Integrative Deep Tissue Release. Food according to the Glycoplan® (a specific low-carb diet) has a positive influence on body, mind and soul.

The unspoiled nature of the Umbrian hills and the tranquillity of the location support regeneration. We recommend Digital Detox - wifi is available if necessary.


Our team *

Dr. med. Kurt Mosetter, Kerstin Kussmaul (PhD), Simone Luschin and Defne Erdur (PhD)

We work with a multidimensional and interdisciplinary regeneration concept that acts individually on existing imbalances. Neurophysiological and biochemical functions as well as neuropsychological processes play a key role in this.

We see this cooperation as a prerequisite for the development and practical implementation of causal, resource- and lifeworld-oriented treatment concepts.

We apply Myoreflex therapy®, applied neurobiochemistry with Glycoplan®, physiotherapy focus on health promotion, Somatic Experiencing®, Deep Fascial Release, movement analysis and integration.

Our methods

Think globally and act locally: We work with self-regulation of muscle approaches in its biomechanical context - with all mechanical and functional interdependencies. Neurophysiological, biochemical functions as well as neuropsychological processes play a key role in effectively influencing the regenerative process and intensifying your well-being (for more information, visit: www.mosetter.de). This is closely linked to reflecting on your own behavior and a corresponding positive change in your mental state.

Another focus is applied biochemistry with the regulation of cellular metabolism. Energy metabolism in the body and brain plays a central role in the health of the organism. The sugar metabolism and the insulin system of the brain coordinate the metabolism of the whole organism. This means that all peripheral organs - especially the pancreas, liver, kidneys, muscles and bones, but also the blood vessels and cardiovascular system - are controlled by central insulin and energy metabolism. Disorders of insulin and sugar metabolism, so-called insulin resistance-related diseases, such as diabetes mellitus type II and metabolic syndrome of the pancreas, liver and fat cells, thus turn out to be centrally influenced diseases. All civilization diseases associated with insulin resistance - osteoporosis, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia with elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, renal insufficiency, gout, muscle pain, muscle weakness, obesity, hormonal diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and a large number of cancers - have a common denominator with the sugar metabolism of the brain.

At Artis Umbria, food is cooked fresh every day, using organic and/or local ingredients, according to a glycoplan, and vegetarian. The social aspect of eating together at a large table overlooking the hilly landscape supports the regulatory work in a subtle and meaningful way.

In the context of physiotherapy, the interventions are aimed at strengthening the patient's own health-preserving resources and supporting a change in individual behavior. Active participation - the participatory approach - is considered an important success factor in physiotherapy treatment; it focuses on maintaining health - salutogenesis. One of its main objectives is to promote empowerment, which subsequently leads to the sustainable strengthening of health literacy.

is a neurobiological and body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress- related disorders. Humans have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma and stress, restoring the self and aliveness through self-regulation.

The Somatic Experiencing® approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of blocked survival energy. The approach aims to help clients access their body memory to dispel the power of the narrative, reframe body memory, and regain aliveness and flow. This is achieved by gently guiding clients to develop an increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and repressed emotions in order to build the capacity for resilience.

is a massage therapy approach that uses soothing essential oils. The approach focuses on releasing tension and toxins in the soft tissues - the muscles and connective tissue - following the pathways of the lymphatic system. Gentle mobilizations of the joints and subtle cranial techniques that follow the natural rhythm of the central nervous system are integrated to support the body's self-healing mechanisms.

Movement training and integration is used to integrate new or lost movement patterns in everyday life. Easy-to-learn exercises and experiments improve neuro-muscular self-regulation and help to keep it in balance independently.

The aims of movement training are:

  • to maintain and regain individual freedom of movement

  • to find joy in (healthy) movement

  • to improve self-awareness and thus contribute to the balance of the musculoskeletal system, preventing pain, relieving from pain and increased range of motion

  • the release of physical and mental tension and thus the gain of external and internal mobility

  • to provide a targeted, time-saving balance to everyday working life
