What our patients say

I can absolutely recommend this physiotherapy practice. After spending months at another practice without any real progress or attention, I felt a significant improvement in my impingement syndrome here within just a few weeks.

About the studio
Our studio is nestled in the heart of Berlin Mitte, a stone's throw from the iconic Gendarmenmarkt. Surrounded by the Konzerthaus, the French and German Cathedrals, the boulevard Unter den Linden and a mix of cafés, restaurants and galleries, it's one of the most beautiful corners of the city – and a setting that matches our approach: refined, considered, without any unnecessary polish. Inside, we combine quiet, generous treatment rooms with a fully equipped training area on a single floor. That means physiotherapy and medical training don't live in separate worlds at Somana at Gendarmentmarkt – they flow into each other. Our training space is outfitted to the same standards used in rehab clinics and professional sport: a squat rack and free weights, a leg extension, cable machines, an advanced treadmill with sled and parachute resistance, an indoor bike and our Technogym Totalgyms – multifunctional units that allow for more than 200 different exercises. You can start with us on prescription (all statutory and private health insurances) or as a self-payer. We deliberately call ourselves a studio – not a practice. Because Somana is meant to be exactly what most physiotherapy in Berlin still isn't: a place you actually enjoy coming to. Natural light, warm tones, considered materials and plenty of plants create a calm, modern space that feels nothing like a clinical setting. The idea was simple from day one: a physiotherapy studio in Berlin that takes both science and the way you feel walking through the door seriously.

Public transport
Our studio is located in central Berlin Mitte, just steps from Gendarmenmarkt. You can reach us in 5 minutes on foot from U-Bahn Station Unter den Linden (U6+U5), 7 minutes from Hausvogteiplatz (U2) and 10 minutes from Friedrichstraße (S+U).
By bike or car
Bike racks are right by the entrance, and parking garages on Mohrenstraße, Markgrafenstraße and Bebelplatz are within walking distance. At peak times, we recommend public transport.
When you arrive
Our studio is fully accessible. There is an elevator in the building – but it's rather slow, so taking the stairs is usually the faster option. If you need any assistance, just let us know in advance and we'll meet you at the entrance.
Since 1895
The house, you walk through
Many of our patients ask about it, so here is the short version. Berlin's heritage register dates Französische Straße 24 to around 1895, built as a residential and commercial building. It was commissioned by a furniture manufacturer. From the outside, you would hardly know it. Inside, you would.
The painting is undated
This is the question we hear most often. When the wall painting in the entrance was created is not recorded — not in any source we have found. We have left it as we found it.
The finery ends at the first floor
The main staircase survives from the original construction up to the first floor, with a wrought-iron balustrade in the neo-Baroque style. Above that, things become plainer. Whoever built here in 1895 put the care where visitors arrive.
Outside lost what the inside kept
The façade was once more richly decorated. After 1945 it was simplified and the windows were altered. Later, the interior of the building was largely gutted. The staircase was spared.




The building is part of the Gendarmenmarkt and Hausvogteiplatz heritage ensemble and is therefore a listed building. When you visit us, we recommend taking the stairs anyway, because the lift is slow. On your way up, you walk through the oldest surviving part of the building.
