Question 1

What fields do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

I provide physiotherapy for children and adults across several fields: orthopedic, respiratory, and oncological physiotherapy. Every treatment plan is built personally, based on the assessment and your specific needs.

Question 2

Do I need a doctor’s referral to come in for treatment?

Accepted Answer

No - for private treatment you don’t need a doctor’s referral to book an appointment; you can book directly with me. A referral may be required only if you want to claim reimbursement from private insurance, depending on your policy terms.

Question 3

Where does the treatment take place?

Accepted Answer

Treatments take place at my clinic in Petah Tikva, and home-visit treatment is also available - whatever is convenient and right for you.

Question 4

How long does a treatment session last?

Accepted Answer

The first assessment session lasts about 60 minutes, allowing an in-depth look at your medical background and a comprehensive functional examination. Regular treatment sessions afterward last about 45 minutes.

Question 5

How much does treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

The first assessment session (about 60 minutes) costs 500 ₪, and regular treatment sessions (about 45 minutes) cost 400 ₪ per session. Some private insurance plans offer partial reimbursement - details below.

Question 6

What happens at the first session?

Accepted Answer

At the assessment session I conduct an in-depth interview about your medical history and the complaint that brought you in, followed by a comprehensive functional examination - at rest and in motion. At the end, I explain the diagnosis and the recommended treatment plan, including expectations for the length of rehabilitation.

Question 7

Is there reimbursement from insurance companies?

Accepted Answer

Some private insurance plans (supplementary health insurance) reimburse physiotherapy treatments, usually between 12-20 sessions a year, depending on the policy terms. It’s recommended to check the exact terms with your insurance company before starting treatment.

Question 8

What should I wear? What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to come in comfortable clothes that allow free movement, similar to workout clothes. No special equipment is needed - any details relevant to your specific treatment will be given in advance when booking the session.

Question 9

How can I know how many treatments I’ll need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments needed varies from person to person, depending on the nature of the problem, its severity, and your personal pace of recovery. An initial estimate can be given after the first or second session, based on the assessment and the initial response to treatment. Doing the home exercises I give you consistently significantly shortens the recovery process.

Question 10

What is the cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Accepted Answer

Please give notice of a cancellation or rescheduling as early as possible, at least 24 hours in advance if you can, to allow coordination with other patients. There is no charge for late cancellation.

Question 11

Must a parent be present during the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When treating a minor (under 18), a parent or an adult chaperone on the parent’s behalf must be present throughout the treatment.
