Quotes from our students and employees
Andrea Labus-Barth (Head of the Physical Therapy Department)
“Heimerer stands not only for expertise, but also for empathy. We teach ‘education with heart, hands, and mind’ and enable learning through all the senses. In addition, our Zwickau campus is the only school offering a massage therapist/medical bath attendant training program.”
Giulia Dörfel (aspiring physical therapist)
“During my physical therapy training at the Heimerer School in Zwickau, I felt for the first time that I had truly ‘found my place.’ The wide range of topics, great classmates, and motivated teachers ensure that school life is never boring—because here, no two days are ever the same.
Sure, you do have to learn a lot and work hard on your own, but in the end, the wonderful moments and class field trips make up for it.
I especially love that we often get to let our creativity run wild. Whether it’s during lectures, coming up with exciting anatomy games, or through drawing, there’s something for everyone here. Anyone interested in training to become a physical therapist should definitely stop by :)"

“I chose the Heimerer School in Zwickau because a close-knit learning environment was especially important to me. Here, in addition to a personal atmosphere, I’ve received hands-on instruction, support, and, above all, passion. We have great teaching materials and many instructors who share their experiences as physical therapists with us. Heimerer encourages me on my path and gives all of us self-confidence and, most importantly, a love for our future profession. For me, that’s what makes Heimerer in Zwickau so special!”
