The services of our physical therapy department

The treatment of mobile patients takes place in the physical therapy department of Wiener Privatklinik. Immobile patients are treated in their rooms.

Our department is staffed from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., with therapy hours taking place alternately in the morning or in the afternoon.

In order to make an appointment, our masseurs and physiotherapists will contact you independently of each other. As we are constantly treating patients in our department, we would ask you to call us only in urgent cases (postponing or cancelling a treatment,...).

We kindly ask you to keep to the agreed times, to inform our staff of your arrival and to take a seat in the waiting area. We apologise for short waiting times that might occur, as we try to adjust our treatment to the individual requirements of each patient. Saturdays and Sunday mornings are reserved for the treatment of freshly operated patients.

When is it not possible to receive physical therapy?

  • In the case of 24-hour ECG measurements, massage treatments and electrotherapy treatments for the trunk will be suspended, since this would lead to incorrect ECG results.

  • After examinations of the thyroid gland and the bones (isotopes examination), the therapy will be suspended on the day of the examination.

  • After heart and lung scintigraphies, the treatment will be suspended on the same and on the following day.

The information about your examinations will be co-ordinated with the nursing staff.

Information on the use of crutches

During their stay at our hospital, our patients are provided with free crutches. If you also need the crutches at home, please fill in the relevant form available from the physiotherapy department. When returning the crutches to the manufacturer, you will have to pay a monthly rental charge of € 7.12.

Clothing

For your treatment you should wear comfortable and practical clothes. Solid shoes and shorts (e.g. after a knee operation) are also important.

For further information, requests or suggestions contact the team of our physical therapy department.
