About

There is nothing more important than your health.

Harlan Swan treating a patient at Wien-Physio, Beatrixgasse 19, 1030 Vienna

I'm Harlan Swan, a physiotherapist originally from New Zealand. Over 24 years I've learned that the best results come from combining hands-on treatment with the right exercise and a clear understanding of what's going on in your body.

Every session is one-on-one and completely individualised around your assessment findings and your goals. I keep programmes simple, functional, efficient and effective. The plan you'll actually do is the plan that works.

My own background in rugby, snowboarding and mountain biking means I understand load, recovery and the drive to get back to the things you love.

Frequently asked

Do I need a doctor's referral to come?

No, you're welcome to book directly without one. If you'd like your insurance to reimburse part of the cost, you'll need a medical referral (Verordnung), which I'm happy to talk you through.

Will my insurance cover the treatment?

With a referral, your statutory insurance reimburses part of each session, and private insurers often cover the full amount. Without one, sessions are paid privately at the prices listed above.

Which languages do you speak?

English and German. Every consultation can be in whichever you're most comfortable with.

What should I wear or bring?

Comfortable clothing you can move in. If your issue relates to your feet or running, bring the shoes you usually train in.

How long is a session?

45 or 60 minutes depending on the service. Your first visit is 60 minutes to allow time for a full assessment.

What's your cancellation policy?

Life happens. Just give 24 hours' notice so the slot can go to someone else who needs it.

Ready when you are

Pick a service, choose a time that suits you, and you're booked. You'll get a confirmation and a reminder before your visit.
