One more person should say that "Kasi Live" is not actively helping to deal with health problems. Prof. Dr. Harald Gumbiller had switched on from his practice in Prien am Chiemsee. Gumbiller is the doctor that German-speaking tennis professionals especially like to see. So also Gerald Melzer, the injured younger brother of the Austrian legend Jürgen Melzer (also a patient who has already spoken to Dr. Gumbiller).

Gerald urgently needs the support of Dr. Gumbiller, alone: The travel restrictions from and to Austria did not allow a visit to the practice. No problem: The young Melzer was helped, Gerald receives a medical certificate that a visit to Prien is health-related.

A one-off visit to the doctor is not enough for top athletes, says Dr. Gumbiller. Ideally, tennis professionals should come around every four to six weeks for an examination and readjustment of their entire body system. With the usually full schedule of ATP and WTA stars, it's almost impossible. Dr.'s approach Gumbiller is holistic because: "Teeth can be trouble spots that are responsible for a tennis elbow, for example."

And TMJ dysfunction is the main cause of back problems in most cases. Almost half of Germany's population suffers from this in various forms. For him as a doctor, it is also about determining the effect chains. And treat. Pain in the ankle can also be responsible for complaints in the shoulder area.

In any case, the tennis professionals know what they have at the Chiemsee professor: Oliver Marach and Robert Lindstedt both reported independently of the ATP tournament in Antalya in 2017, both with physical problems. And even before their respective double semi-finals. Marach and Lindstedt won these, but the Austrian could no longer contest the final. So Marach made his way to Dr. Gumbiller. And reached the final in Wimbledon a few days later.
