FAQ Physiotherapy

Frequently asked questions about physiotherapy

What patients want to know before their first appointment at our private practice in Munich's old town — answered briefly and honestly.

In a private practice we treat privately insured and self-pay patients — without statutory insurance prescriptions. The advantages: 50 minutes per appointment (instead of 15-20 in statutory practices), appointments within a few days, always the same therapist, and individual depth of treatment. Nessenius Therapie is a private practice in Munich's old town.
No. As a self-pay patient you can book an appointment directly — without a doctor's prescription. We also have sectoral Heilpraktiker for physiotherapy on our team and are therefore allowed to assess and treat independently.
Usually, yes. With a private doctor's prescription, most private health insurers reimburse physiotherapy services fully or in part. The exact reimbursement depends on your plan — we recommend checking with your insurer in advance. We bill according to the GOÄ/GebüH (German fee schedules).
Yes. Since we have sectoral Heilpraktiker for physiotherapy on our team, many Heilpraktiker supplementary insurance plans reimburse our services in part or in full. We also treat BG (accident insurance) patients.
At Nessenius Therapie, every session lasts 50 minutes — considerably longer than in most statutory practices. That leaves enough time for a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment and active exercises, without rushing.
Manual therapy is an evidence-based physiotherapy method using targeted hands-on techniques to mobilise joints, muscles and fascia. It is particularly helpful for restricted mobility, blockages, back and neck pain, shoulder problems and after surgery. We usually combine it with active training for lasting results.
PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is a treatment concept that specifically activates movement patterns via the nervous system. It is especially effective for neurological complaints, after a stroke, in rehabilitation after surgery and for complex movement disorders. At Nessenius Therapie we have several PNF-certified therapists.
That depends on your condition and how it develops. Acute complaints often improve within 3-5 sessions, while chronic or post-operative cases usually take 6-12 appointments. We discuss the plan transparently after your first assessment appointment and adjust it as we go.
Usually within a few days. We try to fit in new patients promptly — the easiest way is via Doctolib with live availability or by phone on 089 97372645.
Comfortable, loose clothing — sportswear or yoga clothes you can move well in are ideal. Depending on the area being treated, we may also treat you in your underwear. Feel free to bring a towel if that makes you more comfortable.
