Procedures

You bring your medical prescription to our Therapy Office. It is absolutely necessary that it covers exercise treatments in the physiotherapy pool (treatment ÜBB). The first therapy appointment must begin at latest 10 days after the date of issue. This is where you will also receive your therapy plan, as well as your admission ticket for a 90-minute stay during each respective therapy appointment. (Private patients receive a two-hour pass and pay directly at the Therapy Office.) The length of an exercise treatment is approx. 20 minutes with a recommended resting time of the same duration. There is specific physiotherapy at the Taunus Thermal Baths in water warmed to 34.5 Celsius in the physiotherapy pool with various methods in groups under the direction of specialised therapists on the basis of a medical prescription.
