Physiotherapy offer at Balgrist University Hospital

We work closely together with the doctors in our specialist orthopedics teams and centers to create a training and rehabilitation program for you. In doing so, we can make use of selected, scientifically based methods as well as modern therapy equipment and rooms.

Our specialist physiotherapy teams will help you to recover as quickly as possible after an operation or accident or get used to your new, restricted situation. Sports specialists support and encourage you during performance-oriented or prevention-oriented training – regardless of your age and fitness level.

Spine, Rheumatology and Tumors

Our team consists of physiotherapists who are specialized in the orthopedic areas of the spine, physical medicine & rheumatology and tumors.

Shoulder and Elbow

Shoulder joints are the most flexible of all the joints in our body. The interplay between the bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons that provide stability and movement is accordingly complex.

Hips, Knee and Foot

Walking – for most of us this is the most natural way to get around. The lower limbs (i.e. the hip, knee and feet) must be intact. Bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons must reliably interact with one another.

Technical Orthopedics

Patients come to us after a lower limb amputation to relearn many functional daily activities – in particular walking.

Prevention and Sports Medicine

Do you want to start playing sport again? Or walk up the stairs without being in pain? Do you want to get back on your feet after an accident or illness? Or prepare for your next competition with support from sports medicine experts? We’ll get you there.

Paraplegia

The spinal cord is a fundamental part of our central nervous system and therefore indispensable for the proper functioning of our body and locomotor system. Paraplegia or tetraplegia therefore turns many things in life upside down.
