I can fully recommend Waidfuss Physiotherapy in Wipkingen. The entire team is super friendly. I immediately felt in good hands. The treatment was very effective. In addition, I was taught important knowledge about my complaints and how to manage them. The exercises for home were also efficient. They were designed in such a way that you could tell the therapists are interested in the long-term success of the patient. On top of that, the Waidfuss team was extremely motivating. Thank you very much!![]()

After the initial examination, we create a diagnosis of your current condition through questioning, observation, and palpation (touching the muscle and bone structure). This allows us to explain the cause of your pain. Sometimes this can be more complex than just a muscle tear or a joint problem. However, we will try to explain everything in a way that you fully understand your illness, injury, or surgery, and thus can participate in the treatment process. Because that is the key to success.
The basis of your treatment is your physical condition and goals, as well as the medical diagnosis. We are happy to evaluate with you what could have led to your health problem and develop a follow-up therapy or training beyond the acute treatment that you can carry out yourself or with the help of a practitioner. This will make you feel better in the long term and you will retain your enjoyment of physical activity.
You should look forward to your treatments, know that you are in good hands and leave our practice with a smile on your face! That is the goal we work towards.
Upon request, treatments can also be provided at your facility or company.
