Physiotherapists like any other health professionals are governed by strict service standards and have different areas of expertise. Whether you are suffering from a specific health condition or have suffered an injury choosing an ideal physiotherapist is really important. A poorly selected physiotherapist may result in delayed treatment outcomes, greater cost, and potential feelings of frustration. The physiotherapist you choose should be able to understand your health condition and determine treatment goals.

There might be a good number of physical therapy experts offering services near you. It important for you to pick out the physio/physiotherapy clinic best suited to treat you.  Here is a list of 5 things you should consider while selecting a physiotherapist for you or for your loved ones.

  1.  Qualification: It is essential to check that your physiotherapist is fully qualified and fully accredited just as when you deal with any health professional. A physiotherapist is required to have completed a degree from an approved educational institution. Make sure that you check the qualification of your physiotherapist before your treatment begins.

  2.  Expertise: Physiotherapy covers a wide area; you should seek out a physiotherapist with the relevant qualification for your particular problem. So, if you have a bad back, see someone who specializes in musculoskeletal conditions, and if you are recovering from heart bypass surgery see an expert in cardiovascular physiotherapy. Choosing from an area of expertise is really important before considering the treatment for a particular condition.

  3.  Location: Location is something that should be considered, especially when long term treatment is needed. Driving or moving long distances is not wise and advisable when you have musculoskeletal problems or when you are recovering from surgery. You should prefer a physio that is close by, or that is not difficult to get to, but make sure that other criteria are fulfilled first.

  4.  Methods of Treatment: Traditionally, physiotherapists use techniques like movement and massage, but there is a wider array used today. Other than traditional methods other techniques include reflexology, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, etc. are required to treat a specific condition or injury. Your specific health condition may require an appropriate treatment type. Ask if a preferred alternative treatment is available. Many clinics that offer physiotherapy offer alternative treatment options, so they may have what you need.

  5.  Availability: Perhaps the most important consideration is whether the physiotherapist is actually available. When you are in pain, a waiting list is the last thing you need to be put on. It’s important to get treatment as quickly as possible, so ask about the workload. This can be essential if you suffer a relapse and need emergency attention. Small practices can offer superb treatment, but larger clinics are better able to handle the availability issue.

  6.  Reputation: Before finalizing the physio make sure that you do some research on what other similar patients have to say about the treatment. Doing a basic google search, reading a few reviews etc should be enough.
