NALCO Physio & Hand Therapy (Novena) ✓ ACRA Verified

Physiotherapy session fees in Singapore typically range from S$80 to S$180 per session depending on the complexity of the treatment, the duration, and whether specialist modalities such as hand splinting or dry needling are involved. First consultations often carry a slightly higher fee than follow-up sessions. Package rates — commonly 6 or 10 sessions — usually offer a modest discount over the per-session rate and suit patients with structured rehabilitation programmes. Confirm the per-session fee, any surcharge for specialist hand therapy interventions, and the cancellation or no-show policy in writing before your first appointment. GST will apply on top of the quoted fee. See the full physiotherapy cost guide for Singapore →

A GP or specialist referral is not required to book a physiotherapy session in Singapore — you may self-refer directly. However, bringing a referral letter from your doctor or orthopaedic surgeon is worthwhile if you have one, as it provides the therapist with diagnostic context and can support an insurance claim or Medisave use where applicable. Medisave may be used at registered Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) or approved outpatient facilities, so confirm eligibility with the clinic before your visit. At the first appointment, expect to complete an intake form covering your medical history, current medications, and the nature of your complaint. The physiotherapist will then conduct a physical assessment before recommending a treatment plan. Patients with complex conditions — such as post-operative hand rehabilitation or nerve injuries — should bring any available imaging, surgical reports, or occupational therapy referrals to the session.

Physiotherapists practising in Singapore must be registered with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) under the Allied Health Professions Act. This registration is publicly verifiable on the AHPC online register at a.star.gov.sg or via the AHPC directory — search by name before your first appointment. Registered physiotherapists hold at minimum a recognised degree in physiotherapy and must complete continuing professional development to maintain registration. Hand therapists in Singapore may hold additional credentials such as Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) status, which signals advanced post-graduate training in upper-limb rehabilitation. NALCO Physio & Hand Therapy (Novena) carries a 5/5 rating across 309 Google reviews, a robust sample. Confirm the consulting physiotherapist's full name and AHPC registration number directly with the practice before committing to a course of treatment.
