Acupoint massage according to Penzel

Penzel acupuncture massage (APM) is a holistic form of treatment that is based on the principles of acupuncture, the energy cycle, the five-element theory and ear acupuncture and was founded by Willy Penzel in the 1950s.

How does acupuncture massage work? According to Far Eastern medicine, the energy system is superior to all other body systems. It explains all kinds of symptoms and illnesses with an impaired energy flow, i.e. each body system (e.g. muscles, nerves, organs) can only fulfill its task optimally if it is supplied with the right amount of energy. The aim of APM is therefore to rebalance the disturbed energy flow and thus remedy the symptoms.

Does health insurance pay for APM treatment? I am registered with most health insurance companies. The costs of the treatment are covered by health insurance companies via supplementary insurance for alternative medicine and a doctor's prescription is not usually required. However, it is advisable to check directly with your health insurance provider before starting therapy to find out what conditions they will cover the costs.

I am happy to answer any further questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you. Fabienne Christen, certified physiotherapist and certified APM therapist (European Penzel Academy)
