Rehabilitation follows a clear logic

Rehabilitation following an injury or operation follows a clear structure:
  • First, protection and early mobilisation
  • then an increasing workload
  • finally, sport-specific training
We tailor this process to you, taking into account your sport, your body and your goals.

For recreational and competitive athletes

Whether you’re a recreational sports enthusiast or an ambitious athlete, a well-planned rehabilitation programme isn’t a question of ability. It lays the foundations for you to be able to perform at your best again later on, without suffering a relapse.

Our patients from Dübendorf, Schwamendingen and Stettbach appreciate the clear schedule and open communication.

Which Injuries Do we treat?

  • Cruciate ligament tears (ACL/PCL) and meniscus injuries
  • Shoulder dislocation and shoulder surgery
  • Ankle and Achilles tendon problems
  • Stress fractures and muscle injuries
  • Back pain during sport

Why is the return to sport so important?

A hasty return to sport following an injury significantly increases the risk of a relapse. We are familiar with this issue from our practical experience: for us, ‘return to sport’ does not mean that the pain has gone, but rather that strength, coordination and reaction times have actually been restored.

Injury prevention: a wise investment

Injury prevention is also part of the sports physiotherapy offered at PhysioKinex. Would you like to know why you keep suffering the same injury, or how you can better prepare your body for physical strain? If so, this is a worthwhile investment in your sporting future.

Things to know

FAQ: Sports physiotherapy

In most cases, as early as possible, often within the first few days after the operation. Early mobilisation reduces swelling, prevents adhesions and promotes tissue healing. Your specialist will consult with your surgeon if necessary.
Return to Sport (RTS) refers to the structured process of returning to sport following an injury or operation. A systematic RTS process ensures that strength, coordination and reaction times are actually restored, not just on paper. At PhysioKinex, RTS is an integral part of every sports rehabilitation programme.
Yes. Preventive physiotherapy identifies weaknesses in strength, mobility and coordination and targets them specifically. A preventive assessment is particularly worthwhile in the case of recurring injuries. In the long term, this saves time and reduces pain.

Not necessarily. Please refer to our information on Costs and health insurance. If you do not have a referral, you can come as a self-paying patient (30 mins: CHF 70). If you have a referral, the costs will be covered by your basic health insurance or accident insurance. In the case of sports injuries, accident insurance is often the relevant provider.
