Outpatient Physiotherapy

Outpatient Physiotherapy at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre (SPC) is organised in a similar way to a private physiotherapy practice. We specialise in the areas of neurology, orthopaedics, sports medicine and urology. Our work is based on the physiotherapeutic recommendations of referring SPC specialists (in particular, those from the fields of paraplegiology, orthopaedics, sports medicine and urology), as well as that of external physicians.

  • In outpatient physiotherapy at the SPC, we offer various forms of therapy:

    • Treatment of the various neurological diagnoses, such as spinal cord injury, MS, Parkinson’s disease, CP, ALS, GBS, CIP, peripheral neurological conditions, etc.

    • Blocks of physiotherapy, 1–2 times per day for 2–4 weeks

    Patients must undergo a neurological diagnosis before participating in intensive physiotherapy. We must also obtain confirmation that patients are covered by insurance.

    • Medical training therapy (MTT)
      Tuesday/Thursday 1–2 pm
      Monday / Wednesday 4.30 - 7.30 pm
    • Hydrotherapy (swimming pool therapy)

    During group therapy, we teach patients exercises that are tailored toward their own individual goals. These exercises are conducted under the supervision of a physiotherapist. 

Outpatient physiotherapy rates

For patients who have been referred for outpatient physiotherapy, all costs are covered by basic, health, accident, military or disability insurance. In certain cases, we will ask for proof of insurance from your insurance company before your therapy can begin.

All therapy is invoiced according to tax points. Session rates are calculated according to the diagnosis and objectives of the therapy.
