Salvea

What Salvea does

emeis (formerly Salvea) operates a nationwide German network of more than 20 outpatient therapy centers and ambulatory rehabilitation clinics, plus one inpatient orthopedic facility at Krefeld-Hüls, delivering physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and condition-specific rehabilitation programs (orthopedic, neurological, psychosomatic). The network also runs aftercare services (IRENA, T-RENA, Psy-RENA), prevention programs (RV Fit, Trainingskompass, Rehasport), corporate health management (BGM), and consumer-facing emeis sports fitness offerings. Operations are anchored to a multi-decade operating history dating to 1984 and sit within the Celenus emeis-Group under parent Celenus SE, with inoges Holding GmbH as the legal entity.

The core clinical offering is organized around physician-prescribed, insurance-reimbursed services: statutory health insurance (GKV) covers prescribed therapy and §20 SGB V prevention courses, Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) funds ambulatory and stationary rehabilitation plus RV Fit and the aftercare programs, and Berufsgenossenschaften fund EAP and ABMR for workplace and commuting accidents. Patients access the network through physician referrals and direct course enrollment via the salvea.de location finder and course portal; home-visit services are available for immobile patients. The sole notable digital technology referenced is third-party EGYM smart fitness equipment with app-based progress tracking, deployed in emeis sports sites (e.g., Zirndorf, Fürth); no proprietary AI, mobile app, or API platform is disclosed.

Commercial reach is concentrated in institutional German payers, with BGM employer contracts and self-pay EGYM memberships functioning as incremental diversification. The network holds DEGEMED, ISO, Q-Reha, DRV-Siegel, Rehaplattform-Gütesiegel, and RehaSport Deutschland certifications that function as reimbursement prerequisites. Recent strategic activity under new CEO Götz Leschonsky (April 2025) has combined a new Krefeld-Uerdingen opening and psychosomatic service launch with the closure of Xanten and a restructuring with St. Franziskus-Stiftung, indicating footprint rationalization rather than rapid expansion.
