Frequently Asked

Is physiotherapy painful?

Physical therapy is generally not painful and completely safe. However, you may feel some discomfort since our therapists will be massaging areas of your body

If you have medical aid, you must have authorization from your medical aid, otherwise you are required to pay after the appointment and can claim back from your medical aid.
