Can I get physiotherapy for back and leg pain during pregnancy?

Yes. With a prescription (Verordnung) from your doctor, you can go to physiotherapy on your health insurance.

Physiotherapy can help with back and leg pain in pregnancy, and there is one very positive review of it.

For your insurance to pay, you usually need a physiotherapy prescription (Heilmittelverordnung) from your gynaecologist (Frauenarzt) or family doctor (Hausarzt). Then book an appointment at a physiotherapy practice with it.
