Personal data protection and privacy policies

To properly conduct your treatment, the physiotherapist maintains medical records (patient files) containing important and personal data. The registration and processing of this data is carried out in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act. This Act specifies, among other things, the purpose of data processing, its scope, persons with access to the files, and the patient’s rights to inspect, correct, or delete data. Your files may be accessed by other physiotherapists working in our practice.

All these persons are obligated to maintain full confidentiality and protect patient privacy. You have the right to inspect your medical records. If you believe they contain incorrect or outdated information, you can request their correction or deletion. Your files only contain data necessary for treatment. If your data could be used for scientific purposes, this can only be done anonymously and with your written consent. Your data is not shared with third parties without your written consent, unless required by law. If you believe that your data has been processed in violation of the law, you can use the complaints procedure described on our website.

Complaints and Grievance Procedure

At our practice, we strive to ensure that every patient feels well cared for and satisfied with their treatment. However, if something hasn’t met your expectations—whether in terms of therapy, communication, or approach—please let us know. We’d be happy to hear what we can improve and work with you to find a solution. If, after discussing your concerns, you’re still not satisfied, you can file a complaint. In such situations, you can find helpful information on the following websites:
