Practitioners

Two therapists, one room

Only one of us works at a time. The room is never shared, and the therapist who assesses you is the therapist who treats you for as long as you come here. If you would rather see the other, say so — that is a request, not a complaint.

Katrin Vollbrecht

Physiotherapist B.Sc. · owner of the practice

Katrin opened Motus in 2019 after ten years in an orthopaedic outpatient practice, where a treatment hour was routinely divided between three patients. The practice exists because she did not want to keep working that way. She takes most first assessments and works mainly with shoulder, hip and knee complaints and with post-operative rehabilitation.

Jonas Weisker

Physiotherapist

Jonas trained in Dresden and worked for eight years in neurological and post-surgical rehabilitation before joining Motus in 2021. He works with persistent pain and with people who have been through several unsuccessful courses of treatment, which is slow work and one of the reasons an hour matters. He also takes most of the home visits.

Continuity, in practice

Because both of us hold sixty-minute appointments, we see fewer people than a statutory practice does — around forty appointments a week between us. That is the trade. It means we remember what we did with you last time without reading it off a screen, and it means we cannot always offer an appointment this week.

Medical disclaimer

What this website is not

The information on this website is general and describes how we work. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment recommendation for your particular case, and no substitute for examination by a doctor or a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists in Germany do not diagnose medical conditions. We make no promise about the outcome of treatment; what an hour can achieve depends on the finding, on the tissue and on the person.

In an emergency — sudden severe pain, loss of strength or sensation, chest pain, or after a serious fall — call 112 or the medical on-call service on 116 117. Do not wait for a physiotherapy appointment.
