Rehasport in Hamm

Anyone with a doctor's prescription. The top right of the prescription will show form Muster 56 or G850. Rehasport helps, for example, with joint, muscle and back problems, chronic illnesses, diseases of the inner organs or nerves, after surgery, or alongside cancer therapy. You do not need any prior experience; we adapt every exercise to your level.

No. You only need your approved prescription. Joining the club is not required. Many people stay on as members after their Rehasport so they can keep training, but you do not have to.

We offer Rehasport for problems with joints and muscles, for diseases of the inner organs, for nervous-system conditions, for cancer, and for respiratory illnesses. We do not offer cardiac sport in physician-supervised heart groups. Unsure whether your prescription fits our programme? Just give us a short call.

Physiotherapy is one-to-one treatment with a therapist, usually for only a few weeks. Rehasport is group training over several months, led by a trainer with a rehab qualification, and it is paid for by your health insurance. A gym is neither prescribed nor paid for by the insurer. Funktionstraining is similar to Rehasport but mainly aimed at rheumatic conditions. You can combine several of these in parallel.

Your GP, orthopaedist or specialist writes the prescription. You submit it to your health insurance, which approves it. Bring the approved prescription to your consultation with us.

After approval you usually have 6 months. You should start your Rehasport within those 6 months, otherwise the prescription expires and your doctor would have to issue a new one. Call us right after approval — that way we can reserve a suitable class for you.

No. Our trainers adapt every exercise to your level. Even people who have never done sport can start here.

Yes, that is exactly what Rehasport is for. Speak briefly to your doctor beforehand. Before the class, tell our trainers what is hurting. We will then adapt the exercises for you.

Our trainers speak German and basic English. You do not need perfect German, because we demonstrate every exercise and you simply follow along. Basic knowledge is usually enough. With no German at all it becomes difficult, because you need to understand our instructions about intensity and safety. If you are unsure, give us a call — we will work out together whether it will work for you.

Nothing, if you are publicly insured. Your health insurance pays everything once it has approved your prescription. In some cases accident insurance or the pension insurance pays instead. Either way, you pay nothing.

All statutory health insurances cover Rehasport once they have approved the prescription. Most private insurers and civil-service reimbursement schemes (Beihilfe) do too, though the exact amount depends on your plan.

If you are publicly insured, we bill your health insurance directly. You pay nothing up front. Privately insured people, civil servants with Beihilfe and some others sometimes pay us first and are reimbursed afterwards. Just talk to us; we will sort it out for you.

Your active prescription usually remains valid. Please let us know soon and tell us your new insurance. We will handle the billing side. Sometimes the new insurance needs a short confirmation; often the switch goes through without further steps.

Please bring comfortable sportswear, clean indoor shoes and a towel. On your first day, bring your approved prescription too.

Small groups, usually up to 15–20 people.

Our classes are led exclusively by trainers who hold a Rehasport licence, which they have to renew regularly. Our club is a member of the Landessportbund NRW and the Behinderten- und Reha-Sportverband NRW.

Yes. Changing rooms, showers and lockable lockers are available. Handy if you are coming straight from work.

Call us: 02381 28886. Together we will find a class that suits you and answer your questions. Bring your approved prescription to your consultation. We do not offer a trial class.

Our classes take place inside aktivita, Hafenstraße 12, 59067 Hamm, right by the central station. Bus stops are directly in front of the studio, and parking is also available.

We run classes Monday to Friday — mornings, midday, afternoons and evenings. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday there are evening classes until 9pm. That way Rehasport also fits around work and family life. The current schedule is on this page.
