Over the years, he’s accompanied me on my athletic journey, allowing me to reach significant milestones: four Ironmans, a dozen half-Ironmans, two marathons, and several trail running races. His work has been crucial for muscle recovery, injury prevention, and for arriving at races in the best possible condition. I can recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a serious, competent professional.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is medical massage covered by health insurance?
In Switzerland, the services of a medical massage therapist with a Federal Professional Diploma (APF) can be reimbursed by supplementary insurance, according to the conditions of your policy.
I am recognized by almost all supplementary insurances that cover medical massage. The actual reimbursement, however, depends on the insurance company, the insurance model you have subscribed to and the individual conditions, including any deductibles, co-payment percentages and annual limits.
To find out what coverage applies in your case, I recommend contacting your supplementary insurance directly before starting the treatment.
Do I need a medical prescription to receive a medical massage?
Not always. For the first series of medical massage treatments, it is often not necessary to present a medical prescription. However, conditions vary from one insurer to another and may depend on the coverage you have subscribed to.
To avoid surprises, I recommend checking directly with your insurance whether a prescription is required, whether prior authorization is needed and which conditions must be met to obtain reimbursement.
Is medical massage painful?
The sensation during a session depends on the technique used, the area treated and individual sensitivity. Some treatments may involve intense pressure or temporary discomfort, while others are generally more gentle.
The intensity is adapted to the situation and the person's needs. It is always important to communicate any painful sensations or unusual reactions, so that the treatment can be adjusted accordingly.
