Great team! Thank you for looking after my 91-year-old mum. Since your care, she gets around indoors without her canes and does the exercises she learned every day. Thank you.

Your questions
Answers to the questions you ask us most often.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. For your sessions to be covered by your health or accident insurance, you need a medical prescription.
Does my insurance cover the sessions?
Illness: basic health insurance (LAMal). Accident: accident insurance (LAA). In some cases: disability insurance (LAI) or military insurance (LAM).
Do you offer home visits?
Yes, for people whose health prevents them from coming to a practice, and in nursing homes (EMS). A specific prescription for home physiotherapy is required: the doctor must write “at home” on it.
Can I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
Yes, but please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments missed without notice may be charged.
