5 Things to Consider While Choosing A Physiotherapy Centre

Physiotherapy clinics are many. When you are recommended to undergo physiotherapy due to whatever reasons, your first job is to find a reputable physiotherapy clinic, which can provide you with renowned and experienced physiotherapists. We often get confused as to which one would actually be a good one. Each one will self-proclaim to be the best. Also, how ‘good’ the clinic is, depends on the individual as well. We list below five things that you should consider when you start hunting for a physiotherapy clinic.

Convenient timings – one thing that you must consider as a priority is the flexibility and convenient timings. Ideally, a physiotherapy clinic should start as early as 7am and continue until 8 pm. There are working professionals who either want to visit the clinic early, before leaving for office, while some other would prefer going after office hours. As such, the clinic should be such that the timings are convenient to all. Moreover, if sometimes, due to an unavoidable circumstance, the patient is unable to attend, he should get an alternate timing fixed for that particular day. A good physiotherapy clinic will give more time and quality care to its patients.

Private Treatment rooms- you must check to know if the physiotherapy clinic you chose has private rooms. Some patients prefer and feel comfortable getting treated in private rooms.  Some medical conditions require privacy and hence you must ask questions without hesitating. Private rooms also enable you to hold discussions and interacting with your physiotherapists without the fear of someone else list8neg to your conversation. 

Ethical billing – a good physiotherapy centre will assess the condition of the patient and design a plan accordingly. It will also make a schedule for the patient according to his/ her availability. This prevents the patient from attending unnecessary sessions of treatment and paying bills. This makes the overall treatment not only convenient but also economical.

Registered Physiotherapists – you must ensure that the physiotherapy Centre that you choose is a registered one. Some clinics also propagate that they have registered physiotherapists working for them. However, it might not always be true.  Therefore, before you start any kind of physiotherapy treatment, it is important to have thorough check by a physiotherapist who has the license to practice. This will reduce risk of suffering from injures and speed up the recovery process. 

One-on-one ratio – some clinics give the same time slot to multiple patients. One physiotherapist treats these patients at the same time. In such a case what happens is that the physiotherapists spend a few minutes with the patient initially and then handover the patient to his assistant. The assistant then gives an ultrasound or shock therapy while the physio is away attending to other patients. Therefore, when you choose a physio clinic you must see if they offer one to one ratio for the treatment.  It is a fact that even if the assistant is capable to take care of the patient under the absence of the physio, the patient is best observed under the main physiotherapist only.

We hope the above information will be useful to you. You will be rest assured that you will get the best treatment and will recover soon from your medical condition.
