What is medical training therapy?
Medical Exercise Therapy (MTT) is a method of physical therapy treatment that aims to restore your body functions by targeted physical exercises. It is usually used for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, after injuries, surgeries or for chronic pain. The MTT includes an individual training plan tailored to you. The plan includes exercises to improve strength, endurance, mobility and coordination as well as stabilization. The exercises can be carried out using training equipment such as resistance bands, dumbbells, balance boards and special training machines. This is often done after a physiotherapeutic treatment. A pre-requisite is a medical prescription, we may have to issue a cost approval to the insurance company in advance, as it is not a mandatory benefit, especially with accident insurance. Ideally, after this training, the transition to sports takes place.
Course of treatment & costs
For the first session, the confirmation of the cost commitment must be present. Contact us in advance so that we can provide this to your insurance company. Before you can start training, it is important that we know your current state of health and any previous treatment process, if this took place externally. Ideally, we carried out the individual physiotherapy sessions together in advance. The MTT is usually for 3 months with a certain number of training sessions (9-36x) set by the insurance company. With us you will receive an individual training plan adapted to you (we use an app). The premises of the fitness luxor are used for this.
