The present restructuring of the German health system is a reaction to the changing demands resulting from demographic and financial developments. In this context, an increase in patients autonomy is urgently needed which is only possible in cooperation with this group. The rehabilitative sector of the health system with its biopsychosocial model of diseases offers still heavily overlooked solutions, in particular because of its extensive use of complementary medicine, which has a high degree of acceptance among patients and the general population.
