What is a physiotherapist ?
Physical therapists* are experts in treating injuries and instructing specific exercises, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sports, health promotion and health maintenance.
Are there specialists in physiotherapy?
Physio Waidfuss is proud to employ only certified physiotherapists who regularly undergo further training and education. With us, you will only be treated by specialists in the areas we offer.
Do I need to be referred by a doctor?
Yes. Physical therapists cannot treat without a referral from a physician. Unless you have already received treatment. However, health insurance companies require a doctor's referral before they will authorize coverage.
How often do I have to come for treatment?
The number of treatments varies depending on the problem and the person. After a thorough assessment, the physical therapist will discuss his treatment plan for the rehabilitation process with you. As a rule, the doctor will first prescribe you nine therapy sessions.
What should I wear during my treatment?
When we treat your feet, you will only be asked to take off shoes and stockings. Possibly, the problems can also come from the hips. However, if we are treating your spine, it would be appropriate to dress comfortably and athletically or even wear or bring shorts. This way we are prepared for the therapy and all exercises.
How do I arrange a treatment with you?
You can book by phone at 044 585 99 49 or with the form on the contact page. Alternatively, you can also use the quick and easy online booking page.
What do I need to bring to the treatment?
Be prepared to provide your medical or surgical history. If relevant, your x-rays and MRI/CT images as well. Come in comfortable clothing, if possible
What conditions and injuries are treated by physiotherapy?
We treat all orthopedic, surgical and rheumatic problems. We also care for geriatric and pediatric patients.
How long will I need physical therapy?
The length of treatment depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your medical history and other factors. Re-evaluations of your current condition will always be performed to assess your progress. Through consultation with your physician, we will ensure that you attain your treatment goals as quickly as possible.
How can I cancel a scheduled appointment?
