Cost of sessions and rehabilitation programs

Why there is no price list

No two rehabilitation programs are the same, so no two prices are the same either. Some people need a few sessions and home exercises; others need months of gradually increasing load. The cost comes down to three things:

• your condition — what you come with and how much work lies ahead;
• session length — usually about 60 minutes;
• frequency — how many times a week you need to come to the office.

None of this can be judged by eye or over the phone — it takes an examination. That is why the therapist quotes the exact cost at the first consultation, together with an approximate recovery plan: you know right away what you are paying for and roughly how long the program will run.

What a session includes

You are not paying for an hour in a gym — you are paying for a physical therapist's work on your recovery:

• One-on-one work. The therapist's full attention is on you: checking the technique of every movement, dosing the load, supporting you where movement is still difficult.
• An individual program. Exercises chosen for your condition and goal — not a generic "back" or "knee" routine.
• Home exercises. After each session you get exercises to do on your own, with clear instructions on how and how much.
• Program revisions. As your condition changes, the plan is updated: exercises get harder or are replaced so recovery does not stall.

The first consultation — 60 minutes

We start with a conversation: what's bothering you, how it began, what examinations you have had. Then an examination and testing — strength, range of motion, balance, painful areas. You do your first exercises at this very meeting.

You leave the consultation with specifics: a recovery plan, the approximate number and frequency of sessions, and the cost. Whether to continue is entirely up to you.
