What PHYSIOMED does

PHYSIOMED ELEKTROMEDIZIN AG is a privately held German medical equipment manufacturer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Schnaittach, with additional production operations in Pirmasens. The company operates three brand families under a single corporate umbrella — PHYSIOMED (electrotherapy, ultrasound, shockwave, cryotherapy, laser, magnetic field, diathermy, and the proprietary DEEP OSCILLATION electrostatic therapy line), proxomed (vacuum therapy and supporting medical equipment), and ERGOFIT (medical fitness and strength training devices). Its portfolio spans the full physical therapy and active movement therapy stack, including strength, endurance, coordination, gait, and isokinetic rehabilitation equipment.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time equipment sales to healthcare facilities, supplemented by technical service and maintenance contracts, business and financing consulting for clinics, and paid professional training programs covering German therapy forms such as KGG, T-RENA, EAP, MBOR, and ABMR. Go-to-market is executed through a direct enterprise field sales organization, an authorized dealer/distributor network with a dedicated dealer portal, and strategic resale partnerships with manufacturers such as AlterG, Biodex, h/p/cosmos, and CSMi HUMAC NORM. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

PHYSIOMED primarily serves licensed physiotherapists, hospital and clinic procurement teams, specialized rehabilitation centers, and physicians in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Customer logos are dominated by small independent physiotherapy practices and rehabilitation studios, indicating a long-tail, dealer-driven customer mix. The company has 101-250 employees and is led by CEO Salim Abu Abed.
