Physiotherapy in Cologne Esch Since 2004
Our practice on Martinusstraße was the first physiotherapy practice in Esch and has been here since 2004. It is one of three Praxis Pirnay locations; the practice itself dates back to 1981, when it started in Cologne Worringen.
The practice has eight rooms, and there is a large room for medical exercise therapy on equipment (KGG). Access is step-free and there is plenty of parking.
Our patients come from Esch, Sinnersdorf, Pulheim, Pesch, Chorweiler, Longerich and Roggendorf. What they value about Esch is that appointments are available quickly and that they can talk to us in several languages.
