| Question | Answer |
| How long does each session last? | Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes. |
| How much does each session cost? How to make payment? | Each session costs $250. Payment will be via Paynow or bank transfer. Details will be shared after the session. |
| Why are the home visits more expensive than usual clinic physiotherapy costs? | The charges include our therapist’s transport costs and additional time spent travelling (about 2-3 hours budgeted for each patient). Our sessions are typically longer than a usual clinic visit (often 20-30min or less). Our therapist exclusively spends the full hour working 1:1 with the client, ensuring the session is most effective. Our charges are competitive with other specialised home physiotherapy charges for an experienced therapist. |
| Can I see the same physio in the clinic setting? | Absolutely. Our physiotherapist has clinic sessions at The Physio Movement (Marine Parade). Do contact us to arrange a session. |
| How do I know if I or my relative will benefit from home physiotherapy? | Most homebound seniors will benefit from exercise to strengthen their muscles and improve their balance. If you or your relative has signs of slowing or has had a significant health event (eg. recent hospitalisation/surgery) resulting in weakness or a loss of mobility, physiotherapy will definitely be beneficial. Read more in our blog post here. If you are still unsure, you may contact us for more information. |
| How is physiotherapy different from general exercise? | Physiotherapists have good knowledge on anatomy and physiology and are thus aware on how health conditions may affect one’s ability to exercise. Our approach is highly individualised for safety and best outcomes. Our physiotherapist will simultaneously monitor your health condition to ensure the exercise is safe. Our physiotherapist will work with you to understand your goals during the first session. Some big goals may have to be broken up into smaller goals first. These goals will be revisited at relevant time points by both parties to ensure therapy is effective. |
