Section 20 SGB V – the legal basis
Statutory health insurance funds are required to support primary prevention measures. Certified courses under Section 20 of the Social Code Book V (SGB V) are a recognized option – whether and to what extent your fund provides a subsidy depends on your specific plan and the fund itself.
ZPP – the quality check
The Central Prevention Testing Agency evaluates course content based on clear criteria: health-oriented physical activity, practical application in daily life, and a clear distinction from therapy. Only approved courses are eligible for subsidies.
What we provide
Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of participation that you can submit to your health insurance provider. We would be happy to inform you about all the necessary documents.
Briefly explained
What are prevention courses under Section 20 of the Social Code Book V (SGB V)?
Unser Ansatz - So arbeiten wir in unseren Präventionskursen
Our classes follow a clear methodological approach: increasing mobility and stability while improving movement patterns – in a way that ensures the techniques remain effective outside the class setting. We incorporate principles from GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® in a measured way, focusing on enhancing movement quality rather than simply following a trend.
Three-dimensional mobilization
Fluid movement sequences that mobilize the spine and joints in all directions – for lasting mobility rather than one-dimensional stretching.
Coordination of movement and breathing
Rhythm, control, and body awareness are trained through the conscious connection of breathing and movement – an approach that directly impacts posture and resilience in everyday life.
Functional strengthening
The core, leg alignment, and shoulder girdle are subjected to functional loads – in a joint-friendly manner, focusing on coordination and real-life everyday movements.
Myofascial Activation & Mobility
Dynamic, functional stretching and targeted fascial activation improve mobility and resilience. Small pieces of equipment can be used for support – though we always demonstrate variations that require no equipment.
Our course areas in the field of physical activity
Flexibility and Mobilization
Move your spine and joints in all directions – for greater suppleness in daily life and less stiffness after long periods of sitting or standing.
Back & Spine
Core strength, posture, and stable movement patterns – for a resilient back that performs well even under the demands of everyday life.
Preventive Core & Pelvic Floor Training
Awareness, coordination, and targeted strengthening – for a functional core that trains the pelvic floor, breathing, and torso as a single unit.
Functional full-body strengthening
Stability, coordination, and joint-friendly strength – using exercises that mirror real-life movements and can be performed without special equipment.
Coordination & Balance
Movement control and safe patterns – particularly beneficial for fall prevention and for anyone wishing to improve body control and reaction time.
For Companies
Prevention courses as a component of workplace health promotion – for teams wishing to actively embed health into their daily work routine.
How the subsidy works
In most cases, the process is straightforward. Whether and to what extent your health insurance provider covers the costs depends on the specific provider and plan – we will supply you with all the necessary documentation.

Upon completion of the course, we will issue you the official certificate of participation.
Step 4 | Submit to the health insurance provider
You submit the certificate to your health insurance provider. It is best to ask them directly about the exact reimbursement amount.
