How many sessions will it take for me to feel better?

Depending on your diagnosis and the severity of your impairments, you may require just one visit, or you may need weeks and months of care. It really depends on your:

  • Injury/Condition Severity - Mild cases may take a smaller number of sessions, and severe ones typically will take more.
  • Age & Recovery Rate - These two factors are often intertwined: older age usually means lower recovery, but there are some patients whose recovery may be hampered/delayed due to issues like illnesses, severe injuries, reinjuries, etc.
  • Compliance - Patients who comply with the exercises, turn up for physiotherapy diligently will recover faster than those who don't.

At Phoenix Rehab Group Singapore, we also focus on patient education during our treatments. Our senior therapists not only provide you with information about your condition but will also prescribe instructions for home exercises and advice for you to take ownership of your health. We pride ourselves on this unique collaborative relationship that has received positive feedback from our patients.

Does my health insurance cover the cost of Physiotherapy?

This will depend generally on the coverage of your corporate and/or personal insurance that covers you. Things that you need to ask:

  • How much is covered? (This is usually in SGD)
  • What is the procedure? (E.g., they may want you to get a physician or orthopaedic surgeon referral first)
  • Some insurance companies may allow direct billing but subject to agreements with you/your company, and in some occasions may need pre-authorization first

We adopt a pay-and-claim approach if there are no direct billing agreements.
