Facts - Origin overview
How can I book an appointment?
Can I claim my treatment through my health insurance?
We are recognized by supplementary insurance plans, allowing for a straightforward reimbursement process. A doctor’s note is not required for our services. Once you have paid, you will be issued a claim form to send to your insurer, provided your specific therapist is on their approved list. To check if your provider covers your therapist, please use our “Find-your-therapist tool.”
How does the insurance billing system operate?
After your appointment, you will receive an email containing your invoice and a reimbursement voucher. You can forward this to your insurance provider; depending on your policy, they will refund between 50% and 80% of the costs.
Note that the refund amount may be determined by the professional designation of the therapist (e.g., Medical Masseur, Naturopath, or Certified Professional Masseur).
What are the rules for cancelling an appointment?
Which conditions benefit most from medical massage?
Medical massage is an ideal solution for muscle stiffness in the neck, back, and shoulders. It is also highly effective for restoring mobility and improving circulation when faced with issues caused by long periods of sitting or repetitive physical strain.
Is it possible to use a prescription for physiotherapy?
At Origin Massage, all billing is handled through supplementary insurance. Since prescriptions for physiotherapy are part of the basic insurance coverage, we are unable to accept or process them at our facility.
How should I prepare myself before the session?
We invite you to treat our studio as your personal oasis. Try to leave your daily worries outside, immerse yourself in the moment, and listen to your body. Please switch off your mobile devices and prepare yourself mentally—this small step toward wellness makes a significant impact!
Are there any recommendations for the time after the treatment?
Keep enjoying that feeling of deep relaxation. We suggest avoiding high-intensity activities such as sports or heavy physical labor. Allow your body to rest. Ideally, keep the rest of your day free of appointments and just do what feels right in the moment.
Where can I buy a gift voucher?
You can easily order your voucher online. Just click on this link to proceed with your order.

Medical massage at Origin Massage Basel
Origin Massage Basel specializes in medical massage. The focus is on structured treatments that address functional complaints and specifically target muscular imbalances. Medical massage is not understood here as a form of wellness, but as a therapeutic measure with a clear objective.
What you can do after a massage at Origin Massage in Basel
After a relaxing massage, it is important to enjoy the moment of rest and give your body time to process the beneficial effects of the treatment. At our location directly on Basel’s market square, there are numerous ways to spend a relaxing and fulfilling day:
The Rhine is just a few minutes’ walk from the market square. A walk along the river is the perfect way to take a deep breath and enjoy nature. If you are looking for even more peace and quiet, you can also visit the nearby Botanical Gardens of the University of Basel. The green oases invite you to relax and linger.
Basel is widely known for its diverse art and cultural scene. After a massage, you can visit an exhibition, for example at the Kunstmuseum Basel or the nearby Museum Tinguely.
You can also take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere after a massage to stroll through the winding streets of Basel’s old town. Visit sights such as Basel Town Hall or St. Martin’s Church and enjoy the city’s unique architecture over a delicious tea or coffee in one of the cozy cafés in Basel’s city center.
A massage on Basel’s market square is the perfect start to a relaxing day. Combine relaxation with the many possibilities offered by the surroundings and give your body and mind the attention they deserve.
