Our specializations
Beyond our core services, a handful of areas have grown into genuine specializations of our practice — driven by specifically trained therapists, a clear methodology and the experience of many accompanied patients.
A specialization means: going deeper.
We treat a topic as a specialization when our team brings more than standard training to it — therapists with years of additional qualification (e.g. BAO-certified paediatric osteopathy, ESAAT-standard animal-assisted therapy) and the experience that flows together across our three Leipzig locations.
Each specialization is evidence-based and interdisciplinary — meaning the therapist actively coordinates with physiotherapy, occupational therapy or naturopathy when your treatment path suggests it. The result is therapy that fits together, not isolated single sessions.
On each specialization page below you'll find: who the treatment helps, how a typical session unfolds, the responsible specialist, and answers to the questions we hear most often.

Does health insurance cover physiotherapy?
Yes — with a prescription from your doctor. We bill statutory health insurers directly. Private patients receive an invoice to submit to their insurance.
How quickly can I get a physiotherapy appointment?
We aim for prompt scheduling — typically within one to two weeks. Acute cases are prioritised wherever possible.
Do I need a new prescription for every session?
One prescription usually covers several sessions — the exact number is noted on the prescription. We then review with you whether a follow-up prescription is appropriate.
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Physiotherapie und Krankengymnastik?
Krankengymnastik ist ein Teil der Physiotherapie. Physiotherapie ist der übergeordnete, moderne Oberbegriff für die gesamte Behandlungsform; „Krankengymnastik“ (KG) bezeichnet im engeren Sinn die aktiven, übungsbasierten Techniken und ist zugleich eine konkrete Heilmittel-Position auf dem ärztlichen Rezept. Zur Physiotherapie gehören darüber hinaus Verfahren wie Manuelle Therapie, Massage, Lymphdrainage oder gerätegestützte Krankengymnastik. Welche Behandlung für Sie passend ist, ergibt sich aus der ärztlichen Verordnung und dem Befund.
Is osteopathy covered by health insurance?
Many statutory health insurers in Germany subsidise osteopathy in part — typically 60–80% per session, often capped at a certain number of treatments per year. Please check with your insurer in advance — we issue an invoice you can submit for reimbursement.
How long does an osteopathic session take?
A session usually lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The first appointment, which includes a detailed history, can run somewhat longer.
Do I need a medical referral for osteopathy?
No, a referral is not required to receive osteopathic treatment at our practice. However, a doctor’s recommendation may help when claiming reimbursement from your health insurer.
Wie viel kostet Osteopathie?
Die Kosten einer osteopathischen Behandlung hängen von Dauer und Aufwand ab und richten sich nach der Gebührenordnung für Heilpraktiker (GebüH). Eine Sitzung dauert in der Regel 45–60 Minuten. Viele gesetzliche Krankenkassen beteiligen sich anteilig an osteopathischen Behandlungen – die Bedingungen unterscheiden sich je nach Kasse. Private Versicherungen und Zusatztarife übernehmen die Kosten je nach Tarif ganz oder teilweise. Wir besprechen den voraussichtlichen Aufwand gern vorab und empfehlen, die Erstattung vor der ersten Sitzung mit Ihrer Krankenkasse zu klären.
Who can receive naturopathic treatment?
In principle both adults and children — we clarify in an initial conversation whether and how treatment is appropriate for your concern. Naturopathy is offered as a complement to, not a replacement for, medical care.
Wie lange dauert es, bis Osteopathie wirkt?
Das ist sehr individuell und hängt von der Beschwerde, ihrer Dauer und Ihrer Konstitution ab. Manche Menschen spüren schon nach der ersten Behandlung eine Veränderung; bei länger bestehenden oder chronischen Beschwerden sind oft mehrere Sitzungen über einen längeren Zeitraum sinnvoll. Nach der ersten Behandlung kann es vorübergehend zu einer leichten Erstreaktion kommen, bevor eine Besserung eintritt. In einem persönlichen Gespräch schätzen wir gemeinsam mit Ihnen ein, wie viele Sitzungen in Ihrem Fall sinnvoll sein können. Osteopathie ersetzt keine ärztliche Diagnose oder Behandlung.
Are naturopathic treatments reimbursed?
Private health insurers and supplementary naturopathy policies often cover these services — coverage depends on your tariff. Statutory insurers generally do not reimburse naturopathic treatment. We issue an invoice you can submit.
What conditions is occupational therapy suitable for?
Occupational therapy supports people of every age in managing daily life — after accidents, with neurological conditions, developmental delays in children, or as part of rehabilitation. Content and goals are agreed individually at the start of treatment.
Does health insurance cover occupational therapy?
Yes — occupational therapy is covered by statutory health insurance with a doctor’s prescription. We bill directly. Private patients receive an invoice to submit to their insurer.
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a training method that measures brain activity in real time and feeds it back visually. This allows attention and self-regulation patterns to be practised in a targeted way. It is used, among other things, for concentration, sleep, and stress-related challenges.
How many neurofeedback sessions are useful?
That depends on your goals and individual progress — typically sessions are scheduled over several weeks. In the initial conversation we discuss realistic expectations and a suitable training interval.
