What is Medical Training Therapy (MTT)?

Medical Training Therapy, or MTT for short, is a targeted and individualised type of training that takes place under the close supervision of an experienced physiotherapist. The focus is particularly on the targeted strengthening of weakened muscle groups. MTT also aims to sustainably improve the functionality of the musculoskeletal system and increase general physical performance. The individuality of the training approach makes it possible to take into account the specific needs and goals of each individual and design an effective training programme.

Who is Medical Training Therapy suitable for?

MTT is suitable for a wide range of people, regardless of age, fitness level or medical conditions. It can be used both preventively to improve general health and fitness levels and as part of a rehabilitation programme after injuries and operations or for chronic illnesses.

How does Medical Training Therapy work?

MTT begins with a thorough diagnosis and assessmentby one of our experienced physiotherapists, who will carefully analyse your specific needs and goals. Based on this in-depth assessment, we will create a customised training planfor you. This plan usually includes a wide range of customised exercises and methods that cover various aspects of training. These include strength training,endurance training as well as exercises to improve flexibility, coordinationand balance. This holistic approach enables us to develop an effective and individualised MTT programme that aims to promote your health and fitness in the best possible way.

However, it is always advisable to clarify this in advance with the respective health insurance company to ensure that all relevant information and conditions are known. Early consultation with the health insurance company helps to avoid any misunderstandings and ensure that the costs of training therapy are covered smoothly.

Can you use MTT without a doctor’s prescription?

Your current fitness level, your general state of health and your personal goals have a significant influence on the number of sessions required.
