    Re: Are you happy with what you get paid as a physio??

    Hi,

    keb050 - I am talking euros. I charge $AUD85 but that will change soon. Having said that, I am experienced and practice a bit differently to how most physios are trained. I actually currently charge AUD$65 (45euros) for 15mins. Value for money is actually not in the amount you charge but the number of times you see a patient. If I can help someone in 3 treatments, is it not better value for money than someone seeing a physio for 5-10 times? I act more like a consultant these days - i tend to see the hard cases that haven't responded to usual physiotherapy.

    quorthon - i appreciate your current economic climate. I do hope and pray that the situation works out for you all. The changing currency has not been good to Greece.

    Cheers

    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.
