Frequently Asked Questions About Physiotherapy in Singapore

Both chiropractic care and physiotherapy may provide benefits for a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns, but their approaches differ significantly.

Chiropractors generally focus on the spine and nervous system, using spinal adjustments and manipulations to improve joint mobility and alleviate discomfort.

Physiotherapists take a more holistic approach to treatment. They use a broader range of techniques, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and other modalities, to improve strength, mobility, and function throughout the body, addressing issues such as sports injuries and chronic pain.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific condition and preference. In some cases, a comprehensive treatment programme may even include seeing practitioners from both professions.

No, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to book an appointment with a physiotherapist at our physiotherapy centre in Singapore. You can contact us directly to schedule your initial assessment and start your treatment immediately, whether it's physio for lower back pain or post surgical rehabilitation.

At Benchmark Physio, your first appointment focuses on a thorough assessment. We discuss your medical history, symptoms, and goals, followed by a physical examination to evaluate your strength and mobility. Based on this, your physiotherapist develops a tailored treatment programme and provides immediate education on managing your concerns. Follow-up sessions are then recommended to monitor your progress toward recovery and improved function.

The typical length of a physiotherapy session varies based on your specific needs and treatment program. Generally, initial assessments may last slightly longer (up to 60 minutes), while follow-up sessions usually range from 45 to 60 minutes.

The cost of physiotherapy varies based on factors like the type of treatment required, and the length and frequency of sessions. We encourage you to seek a consultation to determine the most appropriate plan for your needs. We also advise checking your insurance coverage and viewing our fees page for specific costs and service details.
