Physiotherapy and physical therapy

A wide range of therapeutic measures

The task of physiotherapy and physical therapy is to correct impairments of bodily functions, prevent maldevelopment and support healing processes through targeted techniques and treatments.

Our department, with its team of physiotherapists, masseurs and medical balneotherapists, offers a wide range of therapeutic measures. Care includes immediate postoperative treatment in the intensive care unit and in surgery, as well as care for internal medicine and gynaecological patients. In addition, physical therapy is also available to patients of the integrative maternity ward and the Breast Centre.

We treat patients on our wards as prescribed by their doctor.
