Through targeted physiotherapy and osteopathy, we empower you to maintain your strength and mobility, conquer pain, and unlock full confidence in your body's potential.
What is geriatric care?
Why Geriatrics?
Geriatric physiotherapy and osteopathy are all about boosting, improving, and preserving your quality of life as you age. Our focus is on keeping you independent in your everyday routine—whether that's walking, climbing stairs, or getting up with ease—so you can enjoy living safely and comfortably in your own home for longer. Through tailored, personal treatments, we’ll work together to build your confidence and strength, empowering you to fully trust your body's potential again.
At a Glance
Geriatrics is the medical specialty dedicated to the health aspects of getting older. At BodyLab, this means we look at you holistically, taking into account all the age-related changes in your body. It is not just about treating your symptoms, but about you as an individual with your own unique needs and goals—all with the aim of maintaining and enhancing your physical functions and capabilities.
The natural aging process brings changes: reduced muscle strength, decreased joint mobility, or balance issues that could potentially lead to falls. Maintaining your strength is absolutely key to keeping your independence. However, these challenges do not have to limit your quality of life. With targeted physiotherapy and osteopathic techniques, you can actively take control.

Geriatric Physiotherapy & Osteopathy in Detail
A Comprehensive and Individualized Approach
Everyone ages differently. That's why we design a tailor-made treatment plan for you that directly addresses your current and chronic conditions. We adapt the therapy to your specific needs and potential—after all, nobody knows your body better than you do.
Fall Prevention and Stability
Falls are one of the greatest risks as we age. Through targeted training, we will elevate your balance, coordination, mobility, strength (improving and maintaining it), and reaction time. You will learn to walk with complete confidence and easily navigate daily obstacles. This doesn't just give you physical security; it powerfully boosts your confidence to conquer your daily life.
Pain Reduction for Age-Related Conditions
Chronic pain, such as from osteoarthritis, does not have to be a permanent fixture in your life. With gentle manual techniques, targeted movement exercises, and osteopathic treatments, we can significantly reduce your pain. We focus on gentle, effective methods that nurture your body and deliver lasting relief.
Boosting Joint Mobility
Stiff joints shouldn't limit your freedom. Through mobilizing exercises and manual therapy, we will enhance your joint flexibility. The goal: staying flexible and active so you can live life on your own terms, without limitations.
Preserving Strength and Motor Skills
Muscle strength and coordination are absolute essentials for your independence. Using age-appropriate, dynamic exercises, we train your muscles and sharpen your motor skills. We ensure that every exercise perfectly matches your current fitness level, keeping you challenged, motivated, and safe.
Gentle techniques, powerful results: Your personalized therapy for greater quality of life and complete independence as you age.
Physiotherapy prescribed by a doctor – including Medical Training Therapy – is covered by basic health insurance (KVG / UVG / IV / MV) according to the standard tariff. Osteopathic treatments are partially covered through the supplementary insurance (complementary medicine) of most health insurance providers – coverage varies depending on your policy. Please check this with your insurance provider beforehand.

Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle Support for Your Lifelong Vitality and Well-being
Lymphatic drainage is a remarkably gentle form of therapy that integrates perfectly into geriatric care. With light, rhythmic strokes, your lymphatic system is activated, boosting the removal of tissue fluid. Especially in later years, when natural lymphatic activity slows down and mobility is often limited, this deeply soothing treatment can make a vital contribution to your overall health and comfort. This pain-free method is ideal even for sensitive skin and pre-existing conditions.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage in Geriatric Care
Reduction of swelling in the legs
Pain relief without medication
Support for chronic venous insufficiency
Strengthening the immune system
Enhancing skin health
Relaxation and stress relief
Support for limited mobility
Assistance with heart failure or cardiac issues
