What is an outpatient preventive cure and how long does it last?

This health measure focuses on prevention – as the name suggests. The individually tailored medical-therapeutic measures serve to prevent a possible complaint or to avert it in the bud. The special feature here is the change of location: away from everyday stress and one's own environment, the applications are particularly successful.

Accommodation is with a host in the Tegernsee valley of your choice. The Tourist Information staff will be happy to help you find accommodation. “Healthy Country Hosts” are the best addresses for a healthy feel-good stay on Lake Tegernsee.

The local spa doctor issues a prescription for treatments such as manual therapy, physiotherapy or exercise therapy, which are carried out by the respective specialists on an "outpatient" basis.

Another special feature of the preventative treatment at Tegernsee is the use of natural regional remedies: the strongest iodine-sulphur water in Germany in Bad Wiessee or the special healing climate in the spa towns of Tegernsee, Rottach-Egern or Kreuth.

As a rule, a preventive cure lasts 3 weeks, although there are also short or refresher formats. The longer, the more sustainable the success.

Employed people have to take vacation for an outpatient preventive cure. There must not be less than 3 years between the cures (with exceptions in the case of medical necessity).
