Prices/Costs | Thorn Massage

Prices/Costs

Like the Breuss massage, the Dorn massage is a natural healing method or, in common parlance, a relaxing massage and is therefore not a benefit of statutory or private health insurance. This means that the patient usually has to bear the costs of the treatment himself. Depending on the institution and the duration and scope of treatment, the costs may vary.

One should expect prices between 40-80€ per treatment. Usually the initial treatment is a little more expensive, since the initial consultation and the evaluation of the findings with the therapist also takes place there. However, it is always worthwhile for patients to make an application to their health insurance company or to find out about subsidies for homeopathic treatments in general, since some health insurance companies cover the costs of these treatments annually to a certain extent. Nevertheless, as a patient, you usually have to pay in advance and, if necessary, have the costs reimbursed.

Training
