How Much Does Physiotherapy Cost in South Africa?
Physiotherapy cost depends on the session type, length, whether it's in clinic or at home, and whether you pay cash or claim from medical aid. Our website shows cash prices; medical aid is charged at your scheme's rate. Getting the right treatment early usually means fewer sessions overall.
Patients often ask what physio will cost before they book. Here's what affects the price and how to plan for it.
What affects the price
First assessments take longer than follow-ups. Home visits include travel time. Specialised treatment such as medico-legal assessments is priced separately. Packages of sessions can reduce the cost per session.
Cash rates vs medical aid
The prices on our website are cash prices. If you use medical aid, we bill at the rate set by your scheme, and how much is covered depends on your plan and remaining benefits. Check with your scheme whether physio comes from savings, day-to-day benefits or a hospital or chronic benefit.
How to keep total cost down
Start early, do your home programme and attend the sessions planned for you. Most of the cost of a long-running problem comes from waiting until it becomes chronic.
