GENERAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
General Physiotherapy
Back pain, neck or lower-back pain, tendinitis, a sprain, shoulder or knee pain, recovery after orthopaedic surgery or a long period of immobilisation? Whether you are active, a senior or recovering from surgery, we treat your pain and musculoskeletal disorders. A thorough initial assessment allows us to build a programme tailored to you. Treatment usually lasts 6 to 12 sessions, depending on your starting point and your goals.
What is general physiotherapy?
General physiotherapy is for anyone with pain, muscle tension or loss of mobility caused by an injury, poor posture, surgery or a musculoskeletal condition.
Our physiotherapists help you restore movement, build strength and prevent recurrences, so you can regain your independence in daily life.
When is general physiotherapy recommended?
This treatment is suitable for active people as well as seniors or patients in rehabilitation after an injury or surgery.
It can treat, in particular:
- Back, neck or shoulder pain;
- Tendinitis and sprains;
- Joint pain (knee, hip, ankle, wrist, etc.);
- Postural problems and muscle imbalances;
- Recovery after a fracture, surgery or prolonged immobilisation.
Which problems and pain are treated?
The Problems
General physiotherapy addresses a range of problems, helping to:
- Reduce pain and muscle tension
- Restore joint mobility and flexibility
- Build muscle strength and stability
- Improve posture and everyday movements
- Support a safe return to activities and sport
Every programme is tailored to your situation, your goals and your abilities.
How does treatment work?
The Treatment
After a thorough initial assessment, the physiotherapist draws up a treatment plan combining different approaches:
- Joint mobilisation and manual techniques;
- Strengthening and stretching exercises;
- Posture and coordination work;
- Ergonomic and lifestyle advice;
- Complementary therapies as needed (electrotherapy, heat, taping, etc.).
The aim is lasting improvement, not just temporary relief.
Why is treatment important?
Without treatment, some pain or injuries can get worse and limit your everyday movement. Physiotherapy helps you recover faster, regain good mobility and prevent new pain from developing.
For your sessions to be covered by your health or accident insurance, a medical prescription is required. If you have muscle pain, mobility problems or any other persistent physical difficulty, don’t hesitate to see a doctor.

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.

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).
