Pricing FAQs

Why are home visits more expensive than clinic visits?

Home visits include the physiotherapist's travel time and transport costs to reach you. Sessions are also typically longer (45-60 minutes vs 30-45 minutes at a clinic), and treatment is personalised to your home environment.

Is there a discount for multiple sessions?

Many physiotherapists offer package rates for multiple sessions booked in advance. Ask about packages when you chat with us on WhatsApp – we can help you find the best value.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. The quoted rate includes the full session and travel within Penang. There are no hidden fees. Your physiotherapist will discuss the treatment plan and costs upfront before starting.

Can I claim physiotherapy on my taxes?

Yes. Malaysian taxpayers can claim up to RM10,000 per year for medical expenses including physiotherapy under personal income tax relief.
