Dynamic Physio Physiotherapy
Therapy methods & costs

Physiotherapy

In physiotherapy, we help people improve the functional ability of the musculoskeletal system. Physical measures such as ultrasound, massage, heat therapy, or cold therapy can also help relieve pain.

Physiotherapy is divided into active and passive forms of therapy. In active therapy, the patient performs movements under the guidance of the physiotherapist to stimulate healing and improve mobility. In passive therapy, the patient is treated by the therapist. Physiotherapy is often prescribed by a doctor as an alternative or complement to surgery.

Manual Therapy

In manual therapy, joints are released through mobilization and manipulation. Targeted manual techniques can relieve restricted movement and reduce pain. Manual therapy helps with disorders of the spine and joints.

Trigger Point Treatment

Trigger points, also known as myogeloses, are hardened areas in muscle tissue that can cause local and/or radiating pain. Pressure is applied to the trigger point in an attempt to release the hardening.

Fascia Treatment

Fascia treatment according to Typaldos FDM: The white connective tissue surrounding every muscle fiber, muscle bundle, and muscle is called fascia. Fascia can twist like a towel and cause localized or band-like pain. Deep, often quite painful techniques are used to release the fascia. Usually, several treatments are needed to release fascia permanently.

Dry Needling

Until now, physiotherapists have been able to treat painful points in the muscles, also called trigger points, by applying pressure with the thumb. Dry needling is a new alternative to trigger point therapy. It is a physiotherapeutic treatment method in which a needle is inserted precisely into a trigger point, triggering a twitch in the muscle and releasing tension.

Taping

Taping, in the form of kinesio tape, is often used alongside the therapy methods mentioned above. Kinesio tape can be applied for stabilization, to improve circulation, or in cases of lymphedema.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is often performed after surgery using gentle decongestive techniques to support the overloaded lymphatic system, for example in cases of swelling in the arms or legs.

Sports Therapy / MTT

Whether it is a torn muscle fiber or strain, supination trauma, shoulder dislocation, tendon irritation, or simply the desire to lose weight, we accompany you step by step on your rehabilitation journey so that you can return fully to your hobby or competitive sport.

Electrotherapy / Ultrasound / Shockwave Therapy

Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy uses targeted electrical impulses to relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and activate the muscles. It supports the healing process after injuries as well as in acute and chronic conditions.

Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissue. It can reduce pain, release tension, improve blood circulation, and promote the regeneration of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses targeted pressure waves to treat persistent complaints affecting tendons, muscles, and fascia. It promotes blood circulation, stimulates tissue healing, and can provide lasting pain relief, for example in cases of heel spurs, tennis elbow, or calcific shoulder tendinitis.

Dynamic Physio Basel is simply top-notch! Whether it’s back pain, knee problems, or just a lack of motivation to move — here, everything gets “back in motion.” The team is highly competent, warm, and always has a good joke ready.

After every session, I feel not only more mobile, but also in a better mood. Highly recommended — five stars and an extra point for the humor in the waiting room!

Michael Wehrli

I also wanted to thank you in writing for your great commitment, Gretel and Dennis.

I just had an appointment with Gretel, and she performed shockwave therapy, even though I was 10 minutes late.

My knee feels like new. Incredible. Hard to put into words.

Thanks also to Dennis for the excellent treatment since December. You have no idea how much this helps me!

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy includes various treatment methods to improve mobility, strength, coordination, and pain relief. It is often used after injuries, surgery, or for chronic complaints.

When should I go to physiotherapy?

Typical reasons include:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Joint problems
  • Sports injuries
  • Complaints after surgery
  • Neurological conditions
  • Postural problems
  • Restricted movement

Does health insurance cover the costs?

This depends on the health insurance provider, the prescription, and the respective insurance conditions.

Do I have to pay a deductible or co-payment?

In Switzerland, health insurance companies cover the costs of doctor-prescribed physiotherapy through basic insurance. After the deductible has been reached, a co-payment of 10% of the invoice usually applies. The exact cost-sharing depends on your insurance model.

What clothing should I wear?

Comfortable clothing that allows movement and makes the body area being treated easily accessible.

What should I bring to my appointment?

  • Doctor’s prescription, if available
  • Reports or imaging, such as MRI or X-rays
  • Health insurance card
  • Comfortable clothing

How long does a physiotherapy treatment last?

In Switzerland, a physiotherapy treatment usually lasts between 25 and 30 minutes. The exact duration depends on the doctor’s prescription, the individual symptoms, and the therapy goal. In certain cases, longer or shorter treatment sessions may be useful.

How many treatments are prescribed?

In Switzerland, a physiotherapy prescription normally includes 9 sessions. If further treatment is necessary, your doctor can issue additional prescriptions. For the same diagnosis, up to four prescriptions are usually possible. However, the actual number of sessions needed always depends on your individual health condition and therapy progress.

What is a long-term prescription?

A long-term prescription is required if medically necessary therapy is still needed after 36 physiotherapy sessions, meaning 4 prescriptions of 9 treatments each. The treating doctor applies to the health insurance company for continuation of the treatment and justifies the need. Once cost approval has been granted, therapy sessions can continue.

Note: The number of physiotherapy sessions is generally not limited to 36. However, in the case of long-term therapy, further cost coverage must be approved by the health insurance company.
