Our Mission
At the Joint Performance Center, we focus on regenerative treatments for joint injuries and chronic conditions, aiming to preserve your natural joints and reduce the need for replacements.
Expert in Joint Preservation
PD Dr. Patrick Weninger
PD Dr. Patrick Weninger is an expert in knee, stem cells, and regenerative medicine. Using the most advanced, scientifically proven methods for joint preservation and tissue regeneration, which he brought from the leading hub of regenerative medicine in South Korea to Europe and Austria, he and his team treat over 1,000 patients annually.
Research-Based
Evidence/Science
PD Dr. Weninger and his team rely exclusively on scientifically proven methods. This guarantees the highest safety and effectiveness. ESSKA, one of the leading scientific societies in the fields of “Joint Medicine” and “Knee,” recommends the methods used by PD Dr. Weninger in their 2024 Consensus.
Personalized Joint Treatment
Our Techniques
We leave nothing to chance when it comes to joint preservation and cartilage regeneration. All our techniques have been tested over decades and are state-of-the-art. In addition to first-class diagnostics using MRI and ultrasound, it is our specialized treatment plans that lead to success.
Scientifically Proven Quality
Quality requires control
All our therapies are scientifically validated and meet the high standards of professional societies. We particularly emphasize the explicit recommendation of the treatments we offer by one of the most important professional societies, “ESSKA.”
This recommendation is presented here:
Technique List
PD Dr. Weninger personally performs all treatments with his team. He uses the Avancell method, which allows for an exact analysis of the injury as well as an individualized and tailored treatment of the injury or cartilage damage.
We use autologous stem cells harvested from your own blood, fat tissue, or bone marrow. These cells are isolated in a laboratory and then carefully injected with a scaffold to promote healing. The stem cells have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells or fibroblasts, aiding in the repair of cartilage, meniscus, and ligament tears.
Exosomes, which are products of stem cells and other cells like platelets, play a crucial role in cell communication and tissue regeneration. We often combine exosomes with stem cells to enhance cartilage regeneration and repair ligament and meniscus injuries.
PRP is a powerful tool in our regenerative arsenal. It has been proven effective for tissue regeneration and cartilage repair, and we frequently combine it with stem cells and exosomes for optimal results.
To enhance the effectiveness of stem cell treatments, we use hyaluronic acid and collagen scaffolds. These 3-D matrices attract stem cells and create the ideal environment for cartilage and ligament repair.
For some injuries, we use minimally invasive techniques, such as needle nanoscopy or arthroscopy. These procedures are performed in-office, without the need for general anesthesia, and allow us to treat and repair joint structures with precision.

Our Methods
We apply the best and latest techniques. In doing so, we focus on maximum effectiveness and maximum safety for your knee. We know exactly the methods that will lead you and your knee to success.
Our highly trained knee therapists guarantee the highest quality of treatment. They undergo a rigorous selection process and focus on quickly restoring knee mobility, strengthening coordination, and maintaining muscle health.
Decongestive measures are crucial after an injury or surgery. We ensure that these measures effectively impact your knee, thereby guaranteeing increased mobility and muscle preservation.
In addition to lymphatic drainage, cold therapy helps reduce swelling, irritation, and inflammation. It alleviates pain and improves mobility.
This therapy combines compression and cold therapy. It is the most effective treatment for post-injury or post-surgery swelling, leading to rapid knee joint mobility and muscle maintenance.
This treatment can address a variety of knee injuries and conditions without the need for surgery. Even post-surgery, shockwave therapy significantly improves knee joint function.
This is a game-changer in treating knee injuries or degenerative knee conditions. By applying special electrodes and applicators, knee issues in various tissue layers are addressed.
Magnetic fields are used to treat pain and swelling, thereby improving knee joint mobility and maintaining muscle health.
Our strength lies in the holistic treatment of knee injuries or post-surgery recovery. This therapy considers the entire body, allowing us to identify and quickly address issues affecting the knee.
Blockages and muscle tightness are common causes of knee problems. Chiropractic methods help relieve these blockages and treat muscle tightness.
This therapy primarily serves to prevent and rehabilitate after knee treatment. We do everything to prevent further injuries.
We use taping to treat muscle tightness, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain.
Holistic Knee Treatment
At Knietherapie GmbH, we adopt a holistic approach to treating knee injuries and conditions. In addition to the joint, we also treat muscles, fascia, and tendons. Nutrition and cartilage health are essential components of our approach. Each case is individually tailored – the exact combination of measures remains our secret.

Healing Without Surgery
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine enables the treatment of cartilage damage and osteoarthritis, as well as injuries without surgery. Stem cells, exosomes, and PRP are our commonly used methods. Harvested from your own body, they are safe and effective, and we have been using them with great success for years. The goal is tissue regeneration without surgery.
Innovative Knee Treatment Concept
What is:
Early Active Rehab
The concept was published several years ago by PD Dr. Weninger and has been featured in the media. It represents an innovative approach to treating knee injuries and knee pain due to wear and tear, cartilage damage, and arthritis. Especially after an injury or surgery, it is crucial to employ all measures that enable a rapid and safe recovery of the knee. This is achieved with our “Early Active Rehab” concept.
