Physiotherapy in Switzerland: prescription, reimbursement and first session

In Switzerland, a doctor's prescription is required for physiotherapy sessions to be reimbursed by basic health insurance (LAMal). The standard prescription covers nine sessions. Your doctor can renew it if treatment needs to continue. Without a prescription, you can consult a physiotherapist at your own expense—some supplemental insurance plans cover part of the cost.

What happens during the first session

The physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment: posture evaluation, functional tests, and a discussion of your symptoms and goals. Please allow 45 minutes for this initial appointment. A treatment plan will be developed following this assessment, with a session frequency tailored to your individual needs—generally one to three times per week.

What is the difference between physiotherapy and osteopathy?

The physiotherapist works on functional rehabilitation: muscle strengthening, joint mobility, and recovery after injury or surgery. The osteopath focuses on structural manipulations to relieve tension and blockages. The two approaches are complementary. Physiotherapy is covered by basic health insurance (LAMal) with a prescription, while osteopathy is covered by supplemental insurance.
