Physio or acupuncture?
Two complementary approaches. Compare them in one click, or let us point you in the right direction.
What for?
Muscle and joint pain, rehabilitation after an injury or surgery, getting back to sport.
How?
An assessment, manual therapy and above all active, progressive exercise to rebuild strength and mobility.
How often?
Usually a series of sessions, one to three times a week depending on your treatment plan.
Reimbursed?
Yes: with a doctor’s prescription, your health insurance fund (mutuelle) reimburses a large part.
What for?
Alongside other care: muscle and chronic pain, tension, stress and poor sleep.
How?
Fine, sterile, single-use needles placed on precise points. The sensation is light.
How often?
A few sessions, often closer together at first and then further apart.
Reimbursed?
Not by INAMI/RIZIV. Some health insurance funds partly cover it through their supplementary insurance.

Ali & Salah Assbane
Two therapists with the same standard: understanding where your pain comes from and getting you moving again for the long term. Specialised in manual therapy and sports rehabilitation, contracted with INAMI/RIZIV.
Got a question?
Do I need a prescription to see a physiotherapist?
To have your physiotherapy sessions reimbursed, you need a prescription from your doctor. Don’t have one yet? Contact us and we will explain how it works. We work together with your doctor and can send them a report.
How long does a session last?
A physiotherapy session usually lasts about 30 minutes. The first session always starts with a thorough assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your complaint and your goals. After the assessment we propose a clear plan, which we adjust as you progress.
Are you contracted with INAMI/RIZIV?
Yes. Ali and Salah are contracted physiotherapists: they charge the official INAMI/RIZIV rates, which keeps your personal share low after reimbursement by your health insurance fund.
Can I combine physiotherapy and acupuncture?
Yes. Acupuncture can complement physiotherapy, for example for lasting pain or stress-related tension.
What should I bring?
Your ID card (eID), comfortable clothing and, for physiotherapy, your doctor’s prescription and any scans you have (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound).
