Swipe the table sideways on a phone. Prices for private and self-paying patients; German statutory insurance patients only pay the co-payment.
What if I have no prescription?
In Germany, physiotherapy paid by statutory insurance always needs a doctor’s prescription. Without one, physiotherapists may only treat medical conditions if they hold a (limited) practitioner licence – the “sektoraler Heilpraktiker”.
- Our practice owner Johanna Kerber holds this licence, so you can see her without a prescription and pay yourself.
- Classes, taping, running analysis and supervised training after therapy never need a prescription.
- You can pay by card or cash and get an itemised invoice – useful for a TRICARE or US insurance claim.
