Medical exercise therapy

Building strength and physical capacity at your pace.

After cancer, surgery or injury, individually adapted strength and equipment-based training can help rebuild strength, mobility and physical capacity. Your symptoms, how you feel and your personal goals guide your training plan.

Who is this training for?

After cancer

Training supports the gradual rebuilding of strength, endurance and confidence in your body. Your current capacity, how you feel and medical guidance determine the exercises and intensity.

With lymphoedema or lipoedema

The focus is on individually paced strength training, mobility and physical capacity in daily life. Your symptoms and any compression garments are considered when planning exercise.

After surgery or injury

Your stage of healing, symptoms and goals guide the exercises and intensity. Training is adapted to your current capacity, for everyday life, leisure and sport.

How does the training work?

Your path to training

01

Discuss your needs with your doctor

Ask your doctor about medical exercise therapy and submit the appropriate referral to Therapie Kreuzplatz in good time. The practice obtains approval from your insurer. Training can begin once approval has been received.

02

Prepare with physiotherapy

A medical referral for up to nine physiotherapy sessions can support preparation. Together, we assess your capacity and develop your training plan. The number of appointments depends on your needs.

03

Start at your level and adapt

Medical exercise therapy runs over three months. After an introduction guided by a physiotherapist, you train mainly independently, following a training plan tailored to your individual circumstances.

More strength for everyday life.

Together, we review how you respond to training and which everyday activities feel easier. We adapt your training plan accordingly.
