Hospital/polyclinic rehab (subsidised): S\$60-150/session. Private standard clinic: S\$120-220/session. Specialist sports physio: S\$180-320/session. Home visit physio: S\$150-300/session. Typical recovery (6-12 sessions): S\$700-3,500. Corporate insurance cashless at most private chains reduces out-of-pocket.
For sports-related injuries and return-to-sport progression, yes — sports physios understand loading progressions, plyometric reintroduction, and sport-specific mechanics. For generic back pain or post-op rehab, standard physios are equally effective at lower cost. Match specialty to issue type.
Most musculoskeletal conditions: 6-12 sessions over 4-8 weeks. Clinics pushing 20+ sessions without clear progression or reassessment are over-servicing. Quality physios reassess every 4-6 sessions and discharge when goals are met. If your physio never discusses discharge criteria, you're churning.
Passive treatments (heat, electrical stim, massage) are pain management, not rehabilitation. Genuine physiotherapy combines manual therapy + targeted exercise prescription + patient education + home programme. Clinics running passive-only sessions are cost-cutting on the active components that actually produce recovery. Pain relief wears off; exercise-based gains don't.
For eligible post-surgical cases, yes (typically capped at S\$1,500-2,000 per year). Check with your insurer. Most routine musculoskeletal physio doesn't fall under MediSave — corporate insurance riders may cover. For stroke and neurological rehabilitation, subsidies through AIC and hospital programmes apply.
