Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist in South Africa?

No. You can book directly with a physiotherapist. Some medical aid plans ask for a referral or pre authorisation, so check your plan before your first visit.

Does medical aid cover physiotherapy?

Most medical aid plans cover physiotherapy from your day to day or savings benefit, and some cover it from hospital benefits after surgery. Cover depends on your plan.

Physio or chiro for back pain?

Both treat back pain. Physiotherapists tend to combine hands on treatment with a strong focus on exercise and rehab, while chiropractors focus more on spinal adjustments. Predictiv can help you decide based on your symptoms.
