Our physiotherapy begins with understanding how your body feels today and how you want to feel tomorrow. Every session is shaped around your personal history, lifestyle and the way you move, whether you're dealing with persistent pain, recovering from an injury, or simply noticing that certain movements don’t feel as free as they used to.
We focus on restoring balance, improving joint mobility, releasing tension and rebuilding strength where it matters most. Through hands-on techniques and targeted exercises, we help you regain confidence in your body, step by step and without rushing the process.
And because daily life in Gstaad often involves skiing, hiking, biking or long days on the move, we also support your physical performance, helping you stay comfortable and resilient through all your alpine activities.
We are your physiotherapy near you.
Our Physiotherapy Techniques

Physiotherapy for Sports & Alpine Activities in Gstaad
Living or spending time in Gstaad often means staying active: skiing, hiking, biking, long walks on uneven terrain or days spent enjoying the mountains. These activities are energising, but they can also challenge the body in ways that create tension, fatigue or small strains over time.
Our physiotherapy supports you through every phase of your alpine routine. We help you recover after intense days on the slopes, prepare your body for physical effort, and address discomfort that may arise during your stay. By combining manual therapy, mobility work and specific exercises, we guide you towards smoother movement, better stability and a more confident feeling in your body, so you can fully enjoy everything the mountains have to offer.
