Before I make a physiotherapy appointment, do I need to see a doctor first to get a diagnosis of my issue?

You do not require a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Hong Kong, however you may need to see a doctor if you plan to make an insurance claim. Our physiotherapists will help perform an assessment and give you a diagnosis, and then provide you with appropriate treatment goals and options. Our physiotherapists may refer you onto a doctor or orthopaedic specialist if further investigation or a second opinion is needed.

How do I claim for physiotherapy through my insurance?

This is dependent on your insurance plan and policies, so it may be best to check with your insurer to find out the process. Many insurance plans require a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy in order for you to be reimbursed for your physiotherapy sessions. It is best to check with your company or insurer regarding your insurance plan and their requirements.

We accept Direct Billing from a variety of insurance partners. Some are listed below:

  • BUPA Gold Card
  • BUPA Healthnet
  • BUPA Global
  • AXA PPP International
  • Cigna International

What is the difference between treatments provided by physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors?

We are all allied health professionals that treat musculoskeletal conditions. The techniques we use can be similar, yet have their differences as well.

Physiotherapy will use mobilisations, manipulation techniques, soft tissue techniques, and exercise therapy to treat injuries and pain. Physiotherapy will also focus on patient awareness and education so that the patient understands the causes behind the injury and can work on preventing future injuries.

Can I bring a chaperone to my session?

Yes, you may bring a chaperone if you wish to.

Are the centres open during inclement weather such as Typhoon Signal No. 8 or Black Rain?
