If you live around Pozsonyi út, Szent István park or the Danube embankment and you’re looking for physiotherapy in Újlipótváros, you don’t need to leave the neighbourhood: MozgásKlinika Újlipótváros is at Váci út 28, opposite Westend, in the same 13th district (XIII. kerület). It’s about an 11-minute walk from Szent István park. We offer gyógytorna (physiotherapy built around therapeutic exercise), manuálterápia (manual, hands-on therapy) and rehabilitation after injury, and we shape each treatment plan around your problem and the way your days actually run.

Physiotherapy in Újlipótváros, close to home

Újlipótváros is a neighbourhood of short distances. The bakery, the pharmacy, your favourite café and the GP are usually a few streets away, and most errands happen on foot. It helps when your physiotherapist fits into that same radius.

The clinic is on the southern edge of the district, on Váci út between Lehel tér and Nyugati pályaudvar. The full address is 1132 Budapest, Váci út 28, mezzanine (félemelet) 2. Inside the front door there are a few steps, then a lift up to the mezzanine. If every step counts for you right now, call ahead and we’ll work out the easiest way in.

Why does being close matter so much? A treatment plan rarely means a single visit. If you’re coming twice a week for several weeks, it makes a real difference whether the clinic is round the corner or on the other side of the city.

On foot, by bike or by tram from Pozsonyi út

On foot, you can easily walk over from Szent István park and Pozsonyi út. Follow Szent István körút towards Nyugati tér, turn onto Váci út there and carry on towards Lehel tér. Westend’s large building is your landmark: the clinic is across the road from it. It’s about an 11-minute walk.

If it’s raining, or your legs aren’t up to the walk, hop on tram 4 or 6 at Jászai Mari tér and get off at Nyugati pályaudvar. From there it’s a short walk up Váci út.

By bike it’s even simpler; just plan where you’ll lock up. With a pushchair, the few steps at the entrance are the only obstacle before the lift.

Neighbours rarely drive over, but if you do, the Westend underground car park is the obvious choice. Parking, the entrance and the routes from Nyugati are all covered in detail in our how-to-find-us guide.

What everyday life here asks of your body

This is a neighbourhood made for walking, which is good news. It also means your body does a fair amount of work every single day, and sometimes it lets you know.

The third-floor staircase

Not every older apartment building has a lift, and the ones that do aren’t always working. If you climb up and down several times a day, you soon notice when your knee or hip starts to complain, often on the way down. If that sounds like you, or like an older neighbour, our article on joint pain in later life goes into more detail.

Shopping bags, pushchairs and a toddler on your hip

Hauling the weekly shop home. Bumping the pushchair up the kerb and through the heavy front door. Carrying the toddler who refuses to walk the last two blocks. None of it is a big deal on its own, but added up, your lower back, shoulders and wrists work hard week after week, often on one side more than the other. For expectant and new parents we’ve written separately about physiotherapy during and after pregnancy.

A long day at the desk

Plenty of people here work from a kitchen table at home; others spend the day in one of the office buildings along Váci út. Long hours of sitting most often end up in the lower back. Our article on lower back pain in the 13th district explains what’s going on and when it’s worth seeing someone about it.

Running along the Danube and on Margitsziget

Szent István park sits right on the Danube bank, and Margitsziget’s running track is just across Margit híd. If you run here regularly, your knees are usually the first to speak up. If that’s you, read our piece on runner’s knee and running on Margitsziget.

What a physiotherapist actually does, and when it makes sense to see one, is covered in our article on physiotherapists in the 13th district. If you recognised yourself in any of the situations above, book a consultation.

Your first visit: assessment and treatment in one appointment

You don’t need one appointment for the assessment and another for treatment. The first visit has three steps:

  1. We map out your problem: we ask about your history, look at any test results you bring, then use the MozgásPiramis® (Movement Pyramid) assessment and functional tests to find where the pain may be coming from.
  2. We tailor a treatment plan to you, starting from the level of the MozgásPiramis® that fits where you are now.
  3. We start treatment in that very first session.

What to bring and what happens step by step is described in our article on the first assessment. How many sessions you’ll need can’t be promised in advance, because everyone responds to treatment differently.

You can book online or by phone on +36 30 790 6270. If something comes up, cancel at least 24 hours ahead, as later cancellations are charged in full. You can pay by cash, bank card or SZÉP card, and ask for a health-fund invoice. Please note that we issue Hungarian invoices only, can’t fill in forms for foreign insurers, and any reimbursement is your own responsibility. If that all works for you, book a consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I walk to the clinic from Szent István park?

Yes. Walk along Szent István körút towards Nyugati tér, then up Váci út towards Lehel tér; the clinic is at Váci út 28, opposite Westend. If you’d rather not walk, take tram 4 or 6 from Jászai Mari tér to Nyugati pályaudvar. On foot it’s about 11 minutes.

Can I get in with a pushchair?

There are a few steps at the entrance, then a lift to the mezzanine. Give us a call beforehand and we’ll sort out the easiest way in.

Do I have to wait until it really hurts?

No. You’re welcome to come about a mild problem that keeps coming back, or when you want to get back to running safely after an injury. At the first visit we assess where you are and build the plan around that.

Do I need a referral?

No. As a private clinic we see patients without a referral; just book online or by phone.

Riverside walks, the weekly shop and that third-floor staircase should stay part of ordinary life, not the hardest bit of your day. Book a consultation.
