Physiotherapy Insurance
Get private health insurance with physiotherapy cover. We compare policies from all UK providers to help you get back on your feet.
Does private health insurance include physiotherapy?
Many private medical insurance providers cover physiotherapy to improve strength, flexibility, and movement in your muscles and joints after an injury or illness. This practice typically combines ‘hands-on’ treatments like joint mobilisation, manual therapy, massage and acupuncture with exercises and education for relieving pain and preventing injuries from reoccurring.
Physiotherapy insurance quickly secures the care you need to get moving again without worrying about lengthy NHS waiting lists. However, as all providers offer different levels of cover, it’s important to choose one that meets your personal requirements. That’s why we compare all UK insurance companies including AXA, Vitality and more to find you the best policy.

What does physiotherapy insurance cover?
Every insurance provider covers different elements of physiotherapy, but these are some of the things you can expect to find in a policy:
- Face-to-face physiotherapy
- Virtual physiotherapy (e.g. live video calls and pre-recorded demonstration videos)
- Telephone assessments
- Personalised physiotherapy programmes
- Written resources to support musculoskeletal health
Bear in mind that there may also be some exclusions. For example, certain providers won’t offer treatment at your home or cover the costs of specialist equipment recommended by your physiotherapist, such as a TENS machine or orthotics. You will also need to check whether a potential insurer allows you to access any treatment you want to explore, like shockwave therapy. Get in touch to discuss your needs and get the most out of your physiotherapy insurance.
What is the best physiotherapy insurance?
As each individual has unique physiotherapy requirements, there isn’t a clear leader when it comes to insurance providers. What works for one person may not be as effective for you. And to avoid disappointment when making a claim, you must understand your policy inside out so you know what services you’re eligible for.
