Physiotherapy

We use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and advanced therapeutic modalities like heat, cold, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to reduce pain, increase mobility, and strengthen muscles. After a thorough assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and recovery goals.

At our clinic in Germany, you don’t need a referral to see a physiotherapist. You can book an appointment directly with us and start your treatment right away.

If you’re paying privately, a referral is not required, and you can simply come in for your treatment.

The number of physiotherapy sessions you’ll need depends on your specific condition, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment. After an initial assessment, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and give you an estimate of how many sessions may be required. In some cases, people may need only a few sessions, while others may need longer-term rehabilitation. Progress is regularly monitored, and your plan can be adjusted based on how well you’re improving. Our goal is to help you achieve the best results in the most efficient and effective way possible.
