Physiotherapist: what to know

A physiotherapist helps you restore, maintain or improve movement and physical function. They use exercises, hands-on techniques and tailored advice to support rehabilitation after an injury or operation, or when you have muscle and joint pain.

When to book an appointment

• Rehabilitation after a sprain or a broken bone
• Persistent pain in your back or your neck
• Recovery after an operation on your knee or shoulder
• Problems with your balance or with getting around

Costs in Switzerland

Physiotherapy is covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG) on medical prescription; without one, sessions are generally paid by you.
