FAQ – Physiotherapy

To start physiotherapy treatment, you first need a prescription from a doctor (e.g. your family doctor or orthopedist). You must then have this prescription approved by your chief physician in order to be reimbursed by your health insurance company after completion of the therapy. At present, ÖGK and BVA are exempt from approval.
For more information on reimbursement, click here.

Then make an appointment with us – either by phone or directly online. The first therapy session always lasts 60 minutes, as we will discuss your complaints and goals and conduct a detailed examination. Please bring the doctor’s prescription, all current findings of your complaints and comfortable clothing or sweatpants.

Further treatments will last 60 or 45 minutes – you can choose.
In the process, we will implement or adapt the therapy plan that we worked out together in the first session. We will conduct ongoing assessments throughout the duration of therapy to see if we need to adjust our treatment techniques to best meet your goals.

Our offer includes units of 45 or 60 minutes duration

The number of physiotherapy sessions needed depends on the nature of the complaint and can vary greatly from individual to individual. Sometimes, for example, 3 sessions in which exercises and self-help strategies are developed together are sufficient, and sometimes significantly more sessions are necessary (e.g. in the case of complaints that have lasted for a very long time and rehab after cruciate ligament surgery).

Current information about our prices can be found here.
The health insurance fund assumes a, now relatively large, share of the costs. You can find detailed information about the refund here.
If you have private insurance, you should check with your insurance company in advance. In some cases, this even covers all remaining costs.

Physiotherapy is useful for diseases, persistent complaints or acute injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Physical therapy can help relieve pain, improve or restore limited physical function, promote strength and mobility, and support the healing process.

It is advisable to find out in advance about the qualifications and experience of the physiotherapist. A personal recommendation from friends or family can also be helpful. It is also important to have a good relationship of trust and a pleasant atmosphere during the therapy sessions.
