What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a central pillar of our therapeutic offerings at BodyLab in Zurich Altstetten. As a holistic treatment method, it aims to eliminate movement restrictions and alleviate pain.

We understand physiotherapy as more than just symptom treatment. Our approach begins with a comprehensive diagnosis, where we identify the causes of your complaints. Following this, we develop an individual treatment plan that is tailored specifically to your needs.

Various physiotherapeutic techniques are employed in our practice. These include manual therapy, where we use targeted hand movements to resolve blockages and improve mobility. Exercise plays an important role as well, helping to strengthen your muscles and correct poor posture.

The applications of physiotherapy are diverse. We treat acute injuries like muscle strains or ligament injuries just as effectively as chronic complaints, such as back pain or arthritis. We also support you in regaining full functionality after surgeries.

What truly sets us apart at BodyLab is the close integration with other therapy forms. Depending on your needs, we combine physiotherapy with osteopathy, dry needling, or medical training therapy (MTT). This way, you benefit from a holistic treatment concept.

Our therapists possess extensive expertise and continually educate themselves to provide you with the best possible treatment. We place great importance on a trusting collaboration and take the time to answer your questions and involve you in the healing process.

A particular emphasis of our physiotherapeutic work is on prevention. We show you how to prevent future complaints through targeted exercises and optimized body posture. With our knowledge, we assist you in staying healthy and pain-free in the long term.
