Experienced Therapists for Your Health

Sylvia und Ellyn Pirnay

More Than 40 Years of Experience

It all began with the employment of Sylvia Pirnay, née Bourmer, by the City of Cologne at Worringen Hospital. At that time, her father, Prof. Dr Horst Bourmer, was Chief Consultant of the clinic.

In December 2019, Ellyn Pirnay took over both practices, whilst Sylvia Pirnay remained as a therapist. Every patient is unique. That is why we tailor our treatment in consultation with physicians to precisely meet your requirements and needs.
