Physical therapy, or Physiotherapy, brings relief to new and repeating pain in muscles and joints and has many well established therapeutic protocols following certain sports injury, surgery, disease and stroke etc.
For the best results, a Physio’s one to one attention to any patient, throughout the therapeutic session, is the ideal requirement. But the cost of delivering service through such an arrangement is naturally high.
If more than one patient is served during the same appointment schedule, the cost of service gets distributed between each of them, but it reduces the overall quality of service for each patient.
To deliver a session at reduced prices, a service provider would need to recover the remaining costs and profits from some other source, for example, from a charity or through selling of a profit making product or service. Delivering service through his arrangement is complex, specially for small capital service providers.
So, what ultimately defines and justifies the affordability of a Physio service, specially for patients requiring long term physical rehab?
A detailed physiotherapy assessment of any patient’s problems helps us to design the fastest route to achieve the stage, where the supervision of the physiotherapist is not required for the patient, anymore.
This crucially includes an understanding on the daily, weekly and monthly frequencies of the therapeutic sessions and an estimate of the total time in days, weeks or months, required to reach the stage of independent home exercise program.
