Physiotherapy Prices at Our JLT Clinic in 2026

Chiropractic follow-up sessions cost 525 to 600 AED. For chiropractic fees in more detail, see our guide to chiropractor costs in Dubai.

What Your Initial Physiotherapy Visit Includes

Your first appointment costs 650 AED and combines a consultation with treatment, so you do not pay for a separate consultation before treatment begins. A physiotherapy consultation usually covers:

• A discussion of your symptoms, daily activities and any previous injuries or treatment
• A physical assessment of how you move
• An explanation of what your physiotherapist has found and a proposed treatment plan
• Your first treatment session, in the same visit

The visit lasts around 40 minutes to 1 hour. Treatment length can vary depending on your condition and individual needs. You can read more about physiotherapy at our JLT clinic on our service page.

Why Follow-Up Session Prices Range From 500 to 600 AED

Follow-up physiotherapy sessions at our clinic cost between 500 and 600 AED. Where your session falls in that range depends on your condition and what your treatment involves.

Your physiotherapist will explain the cost of your follow-up sessions as part of your treatment plan, so you know the price before treatment continues.

What Is Included at No Extra Charge

Several techniques are included within a chiropractic or physiotherapy session when your practitioner recommends them. They are not charged as extras:

• Dry needling
• TECAR therapy
• Cupping

So if your physiotherapist uses dry needling during a session, for example, you pay the standard session price.

Physiotherapy Treatment Packages

If your treatment plan involves regular sessions, packages are available:

• 6 sessions: 2,600 AED
• 12 sessions: 5,200 AED
• 6 combined chiropractic and physiotherapy sessions: 4,200 AED

Your physiotherapist will advise whether a package suits your plan. Ask the clinic team what each package covers before you buy.

Standalone Shockwave and Decompression Sessions

Two therapies can be booked on their own, without a full treatment session:

• Shockwave therapy: 300 AED per area, 20 minutes
• Spinal decompression therapy: 300 AED per area, 20 minutes

Both are priced per treatment area, so the total depends on how many areas are treated.

Does Insurance Cover Physiotherapy in Dubai?

We do not offer direct billing with insurance providers. Our services are available on a pay-and-claim basis, which works like this:

• You pay for your appointment at the clinic
• We provide the documents you need for your claim
• You submit them to your insurer for reimbursement

Before your appointment, it is worth checking with your insurer:

• Whether your policy covers physiotherapy and chiropractic
• Whether you need a referral before you can claim
• Any annual limit or co-payment on your cover
• Which documents they need from the clinic

Reimbursement depends on your policy terms and coverage.

Estimating the Cost of a Course of Physiotherapy

The number of sessions you need depends on your condition, which is why your physiotherapist outlines a treatment plan at your first visit. To show how the prices combine, here is what an initial visit followed by four follow-up physiotherapy sessions would add up to:

This is an illustration of how the prices add up, not a recommended number of sessions.

Physiotherapy or Chiropractic: How the Costs Compare

The initial visit costs 650 AED whether you start with physiotherapy or chiropractic. Follow-up sessions differ slightly: physiotherapy is 500 to 600 AED and chiropractic is 525 to 600 AED. A combined chiropractic and physiotherapy session is 800 to 850 AED.

If you are not sure which suits you, our guide to physiotherapy vs chiropractic care explains the differences. You can also see our full price list on our homepage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Physiotherapy Costs in Dubai

How much does a physiotherapy session cost in Dubai at Franklin?

A follow-up physiotherapy session at our JLT clinic costs 500 to 600 AED, depending on your condition and treatment needs. Your first appointment is an initial visit at 650 AED, which includes a consultation and one treatment session lasting around 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Is the first physiotherapy appointment more expensive than follow-ups?

Yes. The initial visit costs 650 AED because it combines a consultation with your first treatment session and lasts around 40 minutes to 1 hour. Follow-up physiotherapy sessions then cost 500 to 600 AED each, and treatment packages are available if your plan involves regular sessions.

Does insurance cover physiotherapy at Franklin Chiropractic?

We work on a pay-and-claim basis rather than direct billing. You pay at your appointment, and we provide the documents you need to submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Whether you are reimbursed, and how much, depends on your policy terms and coverage, so check with your insurer first.

Are dry needling and TECAR therapy charged separately?

No. Dry needling, TECAR therapy and cupping are included within chiropractic or physiotherapy sessions when your practitioner recommends them, so there is no separate charge. Shockwave therapy and spinal decompression can also be booked as standalone sessions at 300 AED per area, lasting 20 minutes.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition and how it responds to treatment, so there is no fixed number. Your physiotherapist will outline a treatment plan at your initial visit, including the expected number of sessions and their cost, and will review the plan with you as treatment progresses.
