Structured training programme
Medical exercise therapy
(MTT)
Your personalised training plan
Targeted training as part of rehabilitation
Medical exercise therapy is a structured exercise programme formed part of rehabilitation. Our specialists will work with you to draw up a personalised exercise plan, which you will then carry out independently. Regular follow-up appointments ensure you make progress and allow the plan to be adjusted if necessary.
Being passive isn’t enough on its own: it’s worth taking action
MTT effectively complements individual physiotherapy: passive measures relieve pain and alleviate restrictions. Active training builds strength, stability and endurance, which are needed in the long term. Without an active component, lasting therapeutic success is often not achieved.
Who is MTT suitable for?
MTT is suitable for patients of all ages who wish to build up strength and stability in a targeted manner following an injury, operation or a period of rest. MTT is also ideal for people with chronic conditions who wish to train independently over the long term.
MTT sets One-to-one physiotherapy in advance
Important: MTT always requires prior individual physiotherapy, which PhysioKinex provides as part of the General Physiotherapy offers:
- Only once the findings, diagnosis and individual needs have been clarified do we draw up a training plan.
- Our patients from Dübendorf, as well as those from the nearby towns of Schwamendingen and Stettbach, benefit particularly from this approach during longer rehabilitation programmes.
When is MTT a good idea?
- During advanced rehabilitation following injuries or operations
- For chronic musculoskeletal conditions
- As a complement to individual physiotherapy for long-term recovery
- On the prevention of falls among older patients
Sustainable progress through active training
With a personalised programme of medical exercise therapy, you can improve your strength, stability and mobility to ensure long-term rehabilitation success.

Things to know
FAQ: Medical exercise therapy
What distinguishes MTT from normal fitness training?
Medical training therapy is tailored to a specific diagnosis and a therapeutic goal. The exercises are selected specifically, and the intensity and scope are determined on medical grounds. People who train at the gym usually do so without a precise understanding of their own weaknesses. MTT analyses first, then trains.
How long does an MTT programme last?
It varies from person to person. Depending on your starting point and your goals, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. We regularly adjust the programme. The aim is also for you to be able to continue training independently in the long term.
Can I start MTT even without having had physiotherapy beforehand?
No. The MTT programme at PhysioKinex always requires an initial one-to-one physiotherapy session. This ensures that the findings and diagnosis are clear and that no training is carried out that is contraindicated. Safety comes before speed.
Do I need to be fit to play MTT?
No. The plan is tailored to your current fitness level. Whether you haven’t done any exercise for years or are an active sports enthusiast, we’ll always start from where you are and build up gradually.
