Physiozentrum für Weiterbildung GmbH

What Physiozentrum für Weiterbildung GmbH does

Physiozentrum für Weiterbildung GmbH is an Austrian private limited company (GmbH) founded in 2002 and headquartered in Vienna (Mariannengasse 14, 1090 Wien), operating a second training site in Innsbruck (Steinbockallee 31, 6063 Neu-Rum). The company is a specialist continuing education provider for healthcare professionals, with physiotherapists as its primary customer base and additional reach into occupational therapists, massage therapists, midwives, speech therapists, and physicians. Its core offering is a catalog of more than 100 accredited courses spanning sports physiotherapy (ESP®), neuro-musculoskeletal and manual therapy (Maitland, Mulligan, CRAFTA, IMTT, Myofascial Release), active therapy and rehabilitation, hand therapy, internal medicine, neurology, pelvic floor therapy, pediatrics, communication/management, and osteopathic techniques delivered in partnership with the Upledger Institut Österreich, Barral Institut, and Osteopathie Institut. Course fees range from approximately €240 to €914 depending on duration and complexity, and each course awards 15–40+ Fortbildungseinheiten (continuing education units). The company also operates multi-semester MSc master programs in Advanced Physiotherapy & Management and Sportphysiotherapie, plus customized in-house training for institutions and room rental at both locations.

The underlying technology stack is centered on Online Campus (onlinecampus.at), a wholly-owned subsidiary platform that handles all course registrations, payment processing, and eLearning content delivery. Course delivery occurs across three formats: in-person at the Vienna and Innsbruck facilities, live webinars, and self-paced eLearning via Online Campus. The company holds Ö-Cert and CERT-NÖ quality certifications for adult education providers in Austria, which underpin the accreditation of its Fortbildungseinheiten. Supporting infrastructure includes website hosting by Mittwald (Germany) and website design by SPiNNWERK, with marketing conducted through physio-zentrum.at, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletters, SEO, and a downloadable annual Kursprogramm PDF catalog.

The business model is direct-to-consumer course fees supplemented by recurring subscription-style eLearning/webinar revenue and professional services revenue from in-house training and room rental. Go-to-market is multi-channel: in-person at physical sites (regional scope), webinars and Online Campus for self-serve individual learners, and direct enterprise sales for in-house institutional contracts. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A history. Managing Director Martin Metz, MA leads a team of 7 employees. No revenue, ARR, or profitability figures are disclosed in available sources.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Thieme: Major German medical and healthcare professional education publisher offering books, e-learning, and continuing education across many specialties. Comparable as a much broader incumbent selling healthcare professional CE content into the same physiotherapist audience, though not niche-specialized to manual therapy and osteopathy.

Direct peers

• Barral Institute: International provider of Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation courses by Jean-Pierre Barral. Comparable as both a partner of Physiozentrum and an independent education provider selling into the same physiotherapist and osteopath segments.
• Upledger Institute International: Global originator of CranioSacral Therapy education and a current partner of Physiozentrum. Comparable because it delivers the same CST course series globally — including Austria via Physiozentrum — for the same therapist customer base.
• Spiraldynamik: Swiss-based provider of Spiraldynamik movement therapy courses. Comparable because Physiozentrum licenses and delivers Spiraldynamik courses in Austria, while Spiraldynamik itself operates parallel courses for therapists in DACH markets.
• Wiener Schule der Osteopathie (WSO): Austrian osteopathy education provider offering multi-year osteopathic training programs for healthcare professionals. Directly comparable as an Austrian continuing-education provider targeting similar practitioner segments with osteopathic curriculum, including visceral and craniosacral techniques.
• IAOM (International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine): International provider of orthopedic manual therapy courses for physiotherapists. Comparable as a developer of advanced musculoskeletal training programs that Physiozentrum now also offers (IAOM Kurse added to the 2026 program).
• Maitland-Akademie: Provider of Maitland Concept manual therapy courses in German-speaking countries. Comparable as a specialist manual-therapy education competitor offering the same advanced certification levels (Level 1, 2, 2a, 3) that Physiozentrum also delivers.
• IMTT (Interessenverband zur Manuellen Triggerpunkt-Therapie): Swiss-German organization offering dry needling and trigger point therapy courses. Comparable as a specialist continuing-education provider for physiotherapists delivering IMTT-certified trigger point training, which Physiozentrum also offers at both Austrian sites.

Emerging players

• NOI Group (Neuro Orthopaedic Institute): International provider of pain science and neuro-orthopedic education courses for therapists. Comparable as a specialist continuing-education competitor for the same neuro and pain-focused course segments that Physiozentrum delivers via its neurology and pain management catalog.

Others

• Physio Austria (Bundesverband der Physiotherapeutinnen und Physiotherapeuten Österreichs): Austrian national professional association for physiotherapists that also curates and accredits continuing education. Comparable as an ecosystem participant shaping which CE providers therapists trust, although it does not directly compete as a course provider.
