Many people look for a physiotherapist only when pain has been getting in the way of work or sleep for weeks. At MozgásKlinika Retek utca, in Budapest’s 2nd district, you are welcome with a mild ache as well as with a more serious musculoskeletal problem. In both cases treatment starts with an examination.

What kind of complaints does the clinic treat?

The clinic treats musculoskeletal complaints with physiotherapy, manual therapy and physical therapy. The two physiotherapists list these areas, among others, in their profiles:

  • lower back pain and conservative treatment of a herniated disc,
  • neck pain and neck stiffness,
  • shoulder, hip and knee pain,
  • posture-related complaints,
  • rehabilitation after surgery and sport-related complaints.

You can read about both therapists on the team page.

Why is the strength of the pain not the deciding factor?

Pain depends on many factors. The same symptom can appear alongside different functional problems, so the first step is to understand what is limiting your movement and how much load your body can take right now. That is the purpose of the 60-minute first assessment: the physiotherapist talks through your complaints and earlier injuries, looks at any medical findings you bring, then carries out a physical examination and a posture analysis.

This is also why an exercise list found online cannot replace an examination. Home exercises may be part of your plan, but they are chosen, taught and checked by your physiotherapist.

What does conservative treatment mean?

The clinic’s treatments are drug-free. According to the clinic, with some musculoskeletal problems therapy started in time may even help to avoid surgery. What you can expect in your own case can only be said after the examination. Nobody can promise the number of sessions or the result in advance.

What happens when you book?

The first visit lasts 60 minutes and costs HUF 24,990. After the examination the physiotherapist explains the recommended treatments, how the therapy is built up and roughly how long it may take. If you agree with the plan, treatment starts in the same session. You can book online on the clinic’s Salonic booking page; the current price list is on the prices page.
