The tasks in the Sport physiotherapy are versatile - and far more than just treatment on the couch. At PhysioART, we support you at every stage: from the acute event to your full return to sport and everyday life.
Our work can be divided into four central areas:
1. acute intervention
In the event of acute injuries - for example on the sports field or during training - quick, expert help is essential. Initial measures such as stabilisation, cooling or targeted mobilisation have a decisive influence on the healing process.
2. rehabilitation
Targeted recovery begins after operations or injuries. In addition to manual techniques, the focus is on active exercises in the training room - individually adapted to your resilience and type of sport.
3. prevention of injuries
Preventing injuries is a central goal of our work. By analysing movement patterns and building stability and strength, we help you to correct imbalances and minimise the risk of future complaints.
4. performance enhancement & sport-specific training
Whether for competition or everyday life - targeted training promotes endurance, strength, coordination and mobility. Based on functional tests, we develop training plans that are tailored to your goals.
At PhysioART in Basel, we provide you with holistic support - with expertise, sensitivity and measurable progress.

Sports physiotherapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy that deals specifically with the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries in people who are active in sport. It is used for both acute injuries and chronic symptoms of overuse - and helps you to regain or even improve your physical performance.
In contrast to traditional physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy is particularly aimed at people with sport-specific strains. It combines physiotherapeutic techniques with functional training to optimise movement sequences, compensate for imbalances and ensure a safe and efficient return to sport.
Who is sports physiotherapy suitable for?
Sports physiotherapy at PhysioART is aimed at anyone who wants to specifically improve their physical performance or restore it after an injury - regardless of whether you are an ambitious amateur athlete or train professionally.
Sports physiotherapy is particularly suitable for
- Hobby & recreational athletes who want to have sports-related complaints such as muscle strains, tendon irritation or joint problems treated - Competitive athletes who want to prepare specifically for competitions or return to training after injuries - Patients after sports injuries such as torn cruciate ligaments, torn ligaments, muscle or tendon injuries - People with chronic overuse pain, e.g. in the knee, shoulder or Achilles tendon - People with muscular imbalances, poor posture or restricted mobility - Sports beginners who want to work preventively on technique, mobility or stability
Sports physiotherapy is also a useful addition after operations or in aftercare following physiotherapy rehabilitation measures - with the aim of regaining long-term stability, strength and coordination.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for sports physiotherapy?
With a doctor's prescription, sports physiotherapy is usually covered by basic insurance. However, you can also come to us without a prescription - in this case we will bill the treatment privately.
Which complaints are treated in sports physiotherapy?
Typical areas of application are muscle strains, ligament injuries, cruciate ligament ruptures, achillodynia, impingement syndromes or chronic overuse pain. Sports physiotherapy is also helpful in prevention or reconstruction after operations.
Is the treatment painful?
The therapy is individually tailored to your symptoms and ability to cope with stress. Individual techniques can be intensive in the short term, but should never be unpleasantly painful. Your feedback is important to us.
How often should I come for sports physiotherapy?
The frequency depends on your diagnosis, your goal and the healing process. As a rule, we recommend one to two sessions per week at the beginning - the intervals can be extended as progress is made.
Can I start treatment immediately after an injury?
Yes, it makes sense to start sports physiotherapy at an early stage, especially in the case of acute sports injuries, in order to avoid consequential damage and provide targeted support for regeneration.
How short notice can I book an appointment?
As a rule, we can also make appointments at short notice. It is best to book this directly via our online calendar https://physio-art-basel.ch/termin-online-reservieren/ or contact us personally +41 061 692 08 08and we will find a suitable solution.
May I cancel or postpone an already arranged appointment?
Yes, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to keep the appointment. Failure to do so may result in cancellation costs.
