Frequently Asked Questions To Physiotherapy Singapore

You or your loved ones will be given an appointment on the same day or the next business day after you contacted us. Earlier treatments leads to a quicker recovery period.

Will I be treated during my first consultation?

Yes, after our assessments and physical examinations as well as clinical interview. As clinicians, our focus is to decrease pain and discomfort, as well as increase strength and mobility. Talking alone can't get that done.

How long does a treatment take?

Each sessions will take about 30 minutes. The initial assessment and consultation might take a while longer, around 45 minutes.

Will I be given exercises?

Yes, we will provide you advise on how to manage the conditions that you may have, as well as prescribe to you specific exercises that you need to do in between treatment sessions to maximize and optimize the rehabilitation and recovery.

Do I need a GP referral?

Actually, we do not need GP referrals but if you do have it, bring us a copy of the referral letter, as well as any copies of X-Rays or MRI reports that you may have.

Note: GP letters may be required if you would like to claim from your insurer. In any case, it'd be best for you to get a referral letter.

What about payment?

Unless a special arrangement or prior agreement have been made, payments must be made after each treatment or consultation session. Official receipts are given after each treatment sessions for tax or health insurance companies. Please check on the payment methods accepted in each clinic.

Do you know how many treatments I will need?

While each patient are different individuals, the physiotherapist or hand therapist will discuss with you the estimated number of treatments you will require for maximum results. You will be reassessed during each visit and the goals revisited to see if treatments sessions need to be continued or not.

Will I be expected to do anything in between treatments?

Yes, we will give advice and specific exercises to do between physiotherapy treatment sessions. However, we do not and cannot force you to do them, you must take the initiative and motivation to do so - they will optimize and shorten your recovery period.

Can I have a Home Visit?

Of course you can, that is one of the services that we do provide to patients who prefers or are unable to travel to our clinics for a variety of reasons. However, the cost of home visits and home physiotherapy has to include travel time from the clinic so this does increase the cost of the treatment. Please call +65 6611 1778 for more details.
