brainLight · Duisburg-Rheinhausen

Nothing to do, for once.

Massage chair, sound and light in a relaxation room of our own.

Bookable online, with or without an appointment at the practice. Not a medical treatment.

What to expect

A room where nothing is about findings.

The chair does not stand in the waiting area but in a room of its own, with a window and a closed door. For the time you have booked it is yours alone — the programme ends by itself, so you need not watch the clock.

  • MassageShiatsu for back, calves and feet
  • SoundMusic through headphones
  • LightColour impulses, eyes closed — or without
  • ProgrammeChosen at the control column

When to speak to us beforehand

brainLight states usage notes for its systems. They concern two parts separately: the massage and the light of the glasses. Either can be left out on its own — just tell us, and we will choose a suitable programme.

Without the massage

The manufacturer advises against the massage function in pregnancy, with acute back problems, osteoporosis, thrombosis and venous disorders, and from a body weight of 140 kg. The chair then only reclines.

Without the light glasses

You should do without the light if you have epilepsy or a similar tendency to seizures, if you are sensitive to light, if you wear a pacemaker, and as a precaution during pregnancy. The programme works through the headphones without the glasses too.

Common questions

Answered briefly

What does brainLight cost?

Ten minutes cost 5 €, twenty minutes 10 €. It is a self-pay service; health insurance does not contribute. You pay on site at the practice.

Do I have to be a patient of the practice?

Not for the booking: the appointment can be booked on Doctolib on its own, without an existing course of treatment and without a practice appointment.

Where does the session take place?

Only in Duisburg-Rheinhausen, Kreuzacker 1–7, in the medical centre at the Johanniter hospital. It is not available in Wesel or Mönchengladbach.

Is this a medical treatment?

No. brainLight is a relaxation service offered by our practice. It does not replace a medical examination, any treatment or physiotherapy.

What should I keep in mind beforehand?

Come a few minutes early — the first time, our team will briefly show you the controls. Comfortable clothing is more pleasant. If any of the points above applies to you, say so beforehand: we will then choose a programme without massage or without light.

Your break
