Common questions
Physiotherapists generally treat musculoskeletal conditions such as back and neck pain, joint and muscle injuries, sports-related injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. Some also work with neurological conditions, including stroke recovery, and with respiratory or paediatric cases, depending on their area of focus.
In South Africa, patients can generally consult a physiotherapist directly without a referral from a doctor. However, medical aid schemes may have specific requirements for reimbursement, so it is worth checking with your scheme beforehand.
A first consultation typically involves discussing your medical history and symptoms, a physical examination to assess movement and function, and a discussion of a suitable treatment plan. The exact process varies depending on the condition being assessed.
