Welcome to Private Practice Deifilia – Physiotherapy in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen

With over 13 years of experience as a state-certified physiotherapist, I have dedicated my career to the management of complex physical conditions. My approach is built on the belief that effective healing requires more than just treating symptoms; it requires the dedicated time and focused attention necessary to identify and address the root cause of discomfort.

Throughout my decade-plus in practice, I have specialized in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), post-operative rehabilitation, and the treatment of chronic pain. I take particular pride in supporting patients through the complexities of Lipedema management, providing both clinical expertise and a personalized treatment environment.

In my private practice in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, I prioritize a quiet, stress-free atmosphere where every session is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. My goal is to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and a holistic, patient-centered experience.

Book your appointment today to begin your journey toward a pain-free life.

Hypnosis Coaching: A Holistic Deep-Dive

In addition to physiotherapy, I offer hypnosis coaching to address the mental and emotional components of physical recovery. This specialized approach allows us to positively influence “pain memory,” release stress-related tension, and support your healing process from a holistic perspective. I am happy to discuss the exact process and the investment for this service during a free, non-binding initial consultation. As I am usually in treatment sessions throughout the day, I am often unable to answer the phone immediately. To request a callback, please follow these steps:

  • Call me at: +49 176 61238948
  • Leave a voicemail: Please clearly state your name, your phone number, and mention that you are interested in the Hypnosis Coaching.
  • My response: I check my messages regularly between treatments and will call you back personally as soon as I am free.

Privacy Note: By leaving a voicemail, you consent to me storing your contact details solely for the purpose of returning your call. My full Data Privacy Policy is available in German.

Essential Information for International Patients

  • English-Speaking Practice: Treatments are available fully in English to ensure clear communication regarding your health goals.
  • Reimbursement for Physiotherapy: Please note that I follow the standard German, “Private practice” model. To facilitate your reimbursement process with private or international insurance, please bring a valid private prescription (Privatrezept) from your physician to your first session.

FAQ

General Information

Clinical Physiotherapy

As a private practice, a “Privatrezept” (Private Prescription) is required from your physician (GP, Gynecologist, Orthopedist, etc.) to begin clinical treatment. This ensures your therapy is medically supervised.

Practice’s private rate is 85 € for a 50-minute session on working days (Monday to Friday). For appointments on Saturdays and/or public holidays, the rate is 150 €.

I provide a standard German private invoice (Privatliquidation) based on the usual fee structures for physiotherapists. While many international patients successfully use these for reimbursement, I recommend checking with your provider beforehand to ensure they accept standard German medical documentation.

  • Medical Prescription: Following German regulations, please bring your valid “Privatrezept” (Private Prescription) from your physician.
  • Medical Records: If available, please bring any recent MRI results, X-rays, or doctor’s reports relevant to your condition to assist in your clinical assessment.
  • Comfortable Clothing: I recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement and provides access to the area being treated.
  • Billing Information: Please have your contact details ready for our standard German billing process.

To ensure a comfortable and hygienic experience for both patient and therapist, please avoid eating immediately before your appointment. It is also recommended you brush your teeth thoroughly prior to the session.

To ensure the effectiveness of the manual grips used during Lymphatic Drainage, please follow these guidelines regarding skin care:

  • Skin Hydration: Please avoid arriving with extremely dry skin. For the best results, apply a lotion to affected area approximately one hour before your appointment.
  • Product Choice: Use a light lotion that absorbs quickly and completely into the skin. Please avoid heavy ointments or oils that leave an oily residue.
  • Important Timing: Do not apply any cream or lotion immediately before your session. If the skin is too slippery, it prevents the precise manual techniques required for effective drainage.

Hypnosis Coaching

No. Hypnosis Coaching is a self-payer service (Selbstzahlerleistung) and is not covered by private or international health insurance.

No prescription is required for hypnosis, as it is a holistic coaching service.

Hypnosis is used to address the “pain memory” and stress-related tension, serving as a holistic supplement to your physical recovery.

Hypnosis Coaching is an intensive process that extends far beyond the duration of the actual session. To ensure the highest quality of care, I provide a comprehensive service package tailored specifically to your needs:

  • Individual Preparation: Several days of personalized preparation on my part regarding your specific topic.
  • Exclusive 3-Hour Time Block: A dedicated block in my calendar reserved solely for you—including preparation, a 60–90 minute core session, and buffer time—to ensure a stress-free environment without time pressure.
  • 1-on-1 Core Session: A focused, private session lasting approximately 60–90 minutes.

I am happy to discuss the exact process and the investment for this service during a free, non-binding initial consultation.
