What speaks for therapy with us
STAYING HEALTHY IN THE LONG TERM
In our outpatient rehabilitation and therapeutic practice, sustainability is the main focus, because we don't just want to provide temporary relief, but also promote your health in the long term. Through specific treatment methods aimed at strengthening the muscles, we aim to address the root causes of your complaints and thus achieve lasting improvements.
Knowledge transfer
In our approach to knowledge transfer, we place great importance on providing our customers with comprehensive information about their medical condition before and during treatment. By showing them how they can stay fit in the long term, we enable them to gain a deeper insight into the importance of preventive measures and personal responsibility for their health.
competence
We attach great importance to the professional competence of our therapists, which we continuously promote through targeted further training. By investing in the specialist knowledge and skills of our team, we guarantee that our treatments always correspond to the latest scientific findings and are individually tailored to the needs of each customer.
Diverse treatment options
We are proud of our diverse treatment options, which are supported by comprehensive and modern equipment. Our broad spectrum of therapy approaches enables us to respond individually to the specific needs and requirements of each customer and thus achieve optimal treatment results.
Physiotherapy is a therapeutic method that includes targeted movement exercises to improve physical function and reduce pain. It is individually tailored to the patient and actively promotes healing and the restoration of mobility and strength.
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical treatment that uses targeted manipulations and techniques to treat dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. It aims to relieve pain and improve mobility by mobilizing joints and regulating muscle tension.
Therapeutic massage is a form of treatment that uses targeted manual techniques to relieve tension and promote circulation in order to relieve pain and increase general well-being. It is individually adapted to address specific complaints and contributes to relaxation and promotes physical and mental recovery.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that aims to promote lymph flow in the body and reduce congestion in the lymphatic system. Through specific, rhythmic movements, it supports the detoxification of the body, relieves swelling and promotes healing after injuries or operations.
The Bobath concept is an interdisciplinary therapeutic approach for treating adults and children with neurological diseases, which is individually tailored to the needs and abilities of the patient. It aims to promote natural movement patterns and improve independence in everyday life through targeted exercises and instructions.
Physical therapy on the device is a form of physiotherapeutic treatment that uses special training equipment to specifically strengthen muscles, increase mobility and improve functional movement sequences. This form of therapy enables an individually adapted intensification of the exercises, which is specifically aimed at the rehabilitation and strengthening of the patient.
Schroth physical therapy is a specialized physiotherapeutic method for treating scoliosis and other spinal deformities based on three-dimensional exercises. It aims to improve muscular balance, stabilize the spine and promote posture correction through targeted breathing techniques and posture exercises.
Sling table therapy, also known as suspension therapy, is a physiotherapy treatment method in which the patient is partially or completely suspended in slings attached to a special framework called a sling table. This form of therapy allows limbs and even the whole body to be suspended in order to perform movements with reduced gravity, which helps to reduce pain, improve mobility and aid in the rehabilitation of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Trigger point therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and manually treating trigger points - small, hardened knots in the muscles that can cause pain and restricted movement. Using targeted pressure and specific techniques, these points are treated to relieve muscle tension, promote circulation, and relieve pain both locally and in more distant areas affected by the trigger points.
Our treatments
Therapy for craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) includes a wide range of treatment approaches aimed at relieving pain in the jaw area, headaches and other symptoms associated with CMD. These include manual techniques to relax and stretch the jaw muscles, exercises to improve jaw function, and advice on stress management and ergonomic adjustments in everyday life.
Electrotherapy uses electrical currents to relieve pain, promote muscle function and aid the healing process in various musculoskeletal conditions. Ultrasound therapy, on the other hand, uses sound waves to reach deep tissue, thereby reducing inflammation, improving blood flow and accelerating the healing process of tissue injuries.
Sports physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries and the optimization of athletic performance. It combines manual therapy techniques, exercises and advice to help athletes return to full physical performance as quickly as possible and prevent injuries.
Foot reflexology is a form of alternative medicine that believes that certain areas of the foot correspond to different organs and body systems. By applying targeted pressure to these specific points on the foot, the therapy is intended to help relieve pain and promote overall health by stimulating the body's natural healing processes.
Heat therapy, often performed through the application of fango, a mineral-rich mud, uses heat to relax muscles, relieve pain and promote circulation in treated areas. The heat from the fango penetrates deep into the tissue to aid healing, relieve muscle tension and improve mobility.
Hot roll therapy is a traditional physiotherapy practice in which a tightly rolled terry cloth roll soaked in hot water is pressed onto specific areas of the body to relieve muscle tension and promote circulation. This method delivers intense, localized heat that penetrates deep into the tissue, helping to relieve pain as well as promote relaxation.
Cold therapy, also known as cryotherapy, involves the application of cold to the body to reduce inflammation, decrease swelling, and relieve pain. This form of therapy can range from local applications, such as ice packs, to whole-body treatments in special cryochambers, and is particularly popular in sports medicine and in the treatment of chronic pain conditions.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a physiotherapeutic technique that aims to improve motor performance and the interaction between muscles and nerves through specific movement and stretching patterns. By specifically stimulating the proprioceptive senses, this method promotes mobility, strength and coordination in order to optimize the patient's functional movement ability.
Kinesio Taping is a therapy method that uses elastic tapes to support the body's natural healing process and promote freedom of movement by applying them to the skin. The specially developed tapes can help reduce pain, minimize inflammation and improve muscular function.
Connective tissue massage is a form of reflexology that focuses on treating connective tissue to relieve tension and promote circulation. It aims to have a positive effect on internal organs and the entire organism via reflex connections between the skin and organs, which can lead to improved health and well-being.
Clinical pictures at a glance
We understand that a diagnosis often comes with uncertainty and questions. That's why we've created a special blog that offers you deeper insights into various medical conditions. Our goal is not only to give you information, but also to give you understanding and clarity at a time when you need it most.
Before your appointment
We recommend sports clothing such as shorts or a T-shirt/top, as well as sports shoes that are suitable for the training area. It is important that you can move easily in the clothing.
The duration of therapeutic treatments in our practice is directly dependent on the instructions and specifications noted on your doctor's prescription. Depending on the specific treatment your doctor has prescribed for you, the times for the therapy sessions may be adjusted accordingly.
Generally, our treatments start at a minimum of 20 minutes per session, from start to finish. However, depending on the type of therapy prescribed and individual requirements, a treatment session can last significantly longer - in certain cases between 45 to 60 minutes or even longer.
We always strictly follow medical guidelines and recommendations to ensure that you receive the best treatment for you. During your first visit, we will discuss your treatment plan in detail based on the doctor's prescription to give you a clear overview of the expected duration and frequency of your therapy.
Your health and well-being are our top priority, and we strive to make each therapy session as effective and enjoyable as possible.
To make your visit with us as smooth and pleasant as possible, we would like to take a few preparatory steps with you. This includes checking that your prescription is correct, processing the co-payment, obtaining your consent to data protection, filling out our questionnaire and clarifying organizational questions. All of this is important to ensure that we can concentrate fully on your treatment.
In order to ensure a relaxed process without time pressure for you and our entire team, we ask you to report to our reception around 10-15 minutes before your treatment appointment. This gives us the time we need to make all the necessary preparations in peace and quiet and then provide you with the best possible care.
We look forward to supporting you and thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
In general, it is important for your body and your health to drink enough water. To ensure the treatment is successful, we recommend that you pay particular attention to this before and after treatment. You should also avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before treatment, if this is possible for you.
We would like to remind you that it is essential to bring your doctor's prescription to your first appointment. Without this important document, we will unfortunately not be able to treat you. The prescription not only tells us what treatment has been prescribed by your doctor, but also informs us of the frequency and number of appointments required. This information is crucial to create a personalized treatment plan for you and to ensure that you receive the best possible support.
Procedure & frequently asked questions
Our goal is to explain the entire procedure and your open questions in the following sections so that you are optimally informed and our team can concentrate on supporting you.
reception
Our reception is available from 7am to 8pm every day and we always endeavour to process your requests promptly. We understand that there are times when you may not be able to reach us directly. If this is the case, please do not hesitate to send us an email or use our online request function .
We are committed to helping you as quickly as possible and answering any questions you may have. Your concerns are important to us and we will do everything we can to ensure you have a smooth and pleasant experience.
It is not easy to give a blanket answer as to when we will be able to offer appointments. In some cases, we have short-term gaps in the calendar that allow us to offer appointments within a very short time.
Typically, the timeframe for making an appointment is around 4-6 weeks. This depends on current workload and your specific needs and the type of treatment required.
We recommend that you contact us as early as possible so that we can find a suitable time together. If you have an urgent need, let us know and we will do our best to assist you as quickly as possible.
We do not offer appointments on Saturdays as our practice is closed over the weekend. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible service during regular opening hours Monday to Friday.
As a general rule, we strive to plan and carry out your entire treatment with a single therapist to ensure consistent care. However, there may be situations where this is not always possible due to appointment availability. In such cases, we may need to schedule appointments with another therapist in our practice.
While we understand that this may not be ideal, we want you to know that there may be benefits to changing therapists. For example, you may benefit from different perspectives, techniques and skills that will enrich your therapeutic experience and help you get the most out of your therapy.
To ensure a seamless continuation of your treatment, we place great importance on detailed documentation of your therapy course. This enables us to ensure a comprehensive handover between therapists so that your treatment continuity is maintained, regardless of who conducts the therapy session.
For your comfort and a stress-free journey to our location, we have set up sufficient free parking spaces for our patients both directly in front of and behind our building. We attach great importance to ensuring that every visit to us is as pleasant as possible. That is why we ensure that our parking spaces are barrier-free and offer easy access to the main entrance and the elevators. This enables all patients, regardless of their mobility, to reach us easily and concentrate fully on their health.
Organizational
We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your first appointment so that we can explain the procedures and guidelines to you in peace. Please also bring relevant x-rays and treatment documents if you have them, and a large towel for the couch or exercise equipment.
Please arrive on time for your follow-up appointments so that you have the opportunity to change appointments or ask questions. It is best to arrive 10 minutes before the start of treatment.
Physiotherapy services are covered by health insurance. However, these do not cover the entire cost, so a personal contribution is usually required. This is made up of the following: €10.00 prescription fee + 10% of the prescription value. We ask that you pay the prescription fee on the day of the first or second treatment. Our reception staff will tell you the exact amount. If you are exempt from the prescription fee, please bring a copy of your exemption card with you.

Discharge management at the König Fitness & Health Center

Deadlines to be observed:
Treatment must begin no later than 7 days after discharge.
All treatments must be scheduled within 2 weeks of the prescription being issued.
If you have any questions about discharge management or scheduling, our team will be happy to help you.
When scheduling appointments, we try to take your wishes into account. If you are unable to attend the agreed appointment, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance. This is the only way we can reassign the appointment. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee. You can also use our contact form to cancel appointments.
If you have statutory health insurance, the regular treatment time with us is 20 minutes. However, we would like to inform you that our therapy services are particularly comprehensive and far-reaching. This means that they go beyond what statutory health insurance companies usually cover for standard physiotherapy treatment.
If you want to take active steps to combat your symptoms on your own initiative, it would be a good idea to look into your insurance status before our first appointment. It could be helpful to ask your private insurance or your private supplementary insurance to what extent they can cover the costs of the planned treatments.
If certain services are not fully covered by your insurance, you will have to cover the non-reimbursable amount yourself. But don't worry, to help you make transparent and informed decisions, we will inform you about our prices in our fee agreement. The good thing is that our prices are mostly lower than those of our competitors. We want to accommodate you and ensure that you receive the best possible treatment.
During your appointment
The medical diagnosis on your prescription is not enough information for the therapists to be able to implement an individual and targeted treatment with you. Therefore, during the anamnesis, further information is determined that is necessary to understand the health problem. At this point, information such as personal data, operations, medication and pain are considered.
First, the physiotherapist assesses your general state of health and begins with a local examination that focuses on your problem. The resilience of the entire body is then tested and linked to the underlying connections and causes. The cause of the symptoms is not always found at the location where they occur.
After the examination, the findings and possible causes of the symptoms will be discussed and the necessary treatment considered. The number of treatments depends on your doctor's prescription.
In order to ensure a high quality of treatment in our practice and to closely track the progress of each patient, we attach great importance to comprehensive and accurate documentation. This process is a central part of our practice philosophy and enables us to tailor and adapt the therapy to your individual needs.
In order to integrate documentation into the treatment process as efficiently and seamlessly as possible, we use specialised practice software. This enables us to store all relevant information securely and clearly.
One of the great advantages of this software is its flexibility and accessibility. Each of our therapists has direct access to the software via mobile phones and tablets. This allows the treatment team to view and update important information and treatment details at any time - whether directly at the treatment location, between appointments or in meetings. The ability to access patient data from different devices ensures seamless communication within the team and helps us to optimize your treatment.
After your appointment
You may experience slight discomfort or muscle soreness after your appointment. But don't worry, this is completely normal for a few days after the treatment. Your body is processing the therapy or training stimulus.
Your body needs to recover after treatment/workout. Drink plenty of water to help your pain area recover. The same goes for sleep. Try your best to get a good night's rest after your treatment.
After you have felt the beneficial effects of your treatment with us, we invite you to continue on this positive path. It is important to work actively on your health not only during but also after therapy. That is why we have put together a special offer for our patients, with which you can continue to work on your fitness and health in our fitness studio under professional supervision.
Take advantage of the opportunity to benefit from our expertise even outside of treatment times. Our qualified team is at your side to monitor your progress and support you in your quest for a healthy lifestyle. This is an excellent opportunity to reinforce the results of your therapy and maintain them in the long term.
Remember: your health is an investment, not an expense. Take advantage of our offer and continue on the positive path you have already taken. We look forward to accompanying and supporting you on this journey.
If you feel the positive changes in your body, do not hesitate to share your experience with your family and friends. We would also appreciate a "thank you", either personally or as a Google review! Your recommendations and recognition are of great value to us.

As soon as I arrived at reception I felt at home. The reception is extremely friendly and courteous. You already have the feeling that you are in competent hands. This feeling is reinforced when you get to know the therapists and trainers.
Thanks to the entire König team, I have already made enormous progress and would not want to miss the time I spent there.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the team and hope I can continue to work with you for many years to come

I had a sports accident and was urgently looking for a physiotherapist. The König team was incredibly spontaneous in finding appointment slots for me. I went to various physiotherapists and they were all really friendly and competent. I promise you the best recovery in this facility!
