How often should I come for physiotherapy?
The frequency of your physical therapy visits depends entirely on your individual situation. After a thorough initial examination, your physical therapist will create a treatment plan that takes into account your goals, the severity of your symptoms, and your overall health. Some only require a few sessions, while others require longer support. The most important thing is that you show up regularly and stay committed to get the best results.
What can I do to support my healing process?
There are many things you can do to promote your recovery: follow the instructions and exercises your therapist gives you, eat a healthy, balanced diet, get enough sleep, and avoid activities that could worsen your symptoms. It is also important to maintain a positive attitude and be patient with yourself. Every body heals differently, and it's important to listen to your body and act accordingly.
How long do the sessions last?
As a rule, a physiotherapy session lasts between 25/30 and 50/60 minutes. The duration may vary depending on the type of treatment and your individual treatment plan. Your physiotherapist will allow enough time to ensure each session is maximally effective. Don't forget, if you have any questions or need further clarity about the duration of your specific treatment, don't hesitate to ask your therapist team.
Are the costs covered by my health insurance company?
How much your health insurance covers will depend on your insurance plan and the specific details of your policy. In many cases, physical therapy is partially or fully covered by health insurance, especially if it was prescribed by a doctor. However, it is always advisable to check with your insurance company before starting treatment to avoid surprises. We would also be happy to help you collect the necessary information.
