PRESS RELEASE

Bad Tatzmannsdorf, July 2020 . Tobias Conrad, M.D., will be the new medical director of REDUCE GESUNDHEITSRESORT BAD TATZMANNSDORF from June 2020. Born in Tyrol, Conrad follows in the big footsteps of Herbert Melchart, M.D., who shaped spa medicine in Bad Tatzmannsdorf for 33 years and made a significant contribution to the change in Austrian spa medicine. Conrad wants to continue the successful path of the active cure and strengthen the mental component.

"The cure today is rather a kind of training camp for the ME," Dr. Tobias Conrad outlines the modern approach to the cure at REDUCE Gesundheitsresort Bad Tatzmannsdorf. "Or you could also say something like a "Pickerl" for health. It is basically about recognizing the influenceable risk factors for everyone and reducing them with targeted measures in the spa, but also with a sustainable program for at home, in order to grow older in good health with a high quality of life," says Conrad. For him, this includes, in addition to the spa therapies and treatments, above all exercise or re-learning how good exercise is, but also drawing strength from nature and dealing with oneself, one's relationships, one's professional life and one's environment. Because regeneration and healing is always an interplay between body and mind. The cure in Bad Tatzmannsdorf is therefore today one of the most modern methods of health care, especially for younger people in the middle of their professional life. Dr. Tobias Conrad is supported by a 92-member well-coordinated team of physicians and therapists as well as a spa house, which has developed into a modern health center through a renovation last year.

Diverse competencies

Dr. Tobias Conrad not only brings the highest level of medical expertise to his new role. His skills and passions are as colorful as a spring bouquet, but always characterized by empathy and a focus on people's mental health. "I was looking for ways to deal with permanent stress," he says today, looking back on his career from flight attendant to medical director. "Meditation and autosuggestion helped me a lot through the hectic times, and after that it was only a small step to medical hypnosis training." The topic of fear of flying accompanied him both in his work as an active member of the crisis intervention team for flight personnel at Lufthansa and as the author of his first two books, "Gelassen Fliegen" (Flying Calmly) and "Ich flieg dann mal" (I'll Fly Now). He has been practicing as a general practitioner since 2006 and teaches meditative methods and clinical hypnosis on the side. Other books followed: "Mind-Body Medicine", "Facing Fears Calmly" and most recently the "Happy Ethics" guidebook "Take Care of Yourself".

Most recently, he completed further training as an occupational and spa physician and finally also as an aviation physician / aviation medical expert. He is also particularly committed to occupational health care. "It pays to take oneself and one's health seriously, to be happy about "little things" and to laugh a lot, not to make life so difficult for oneself and others, to reduce the stress level with it and to simply enjoy life gratefully," is the motto of the medical doctor with a passion.
 

Dr. Leonhard Schneemann, Director of the Board: "I am pleased that we have found a worthy successor in Dr. Tobias Conrad. Through the breadth of his field of activity, his wealth of ideas and his previous experience, he will bring valuable impetus to spa medicine in Bad Tatzmannsdorf."
