Physiotherapy & Functional Rehabilitation (demo)
Restore your functional mobility and return to your active routine with confidence.
At FisioModelo we dedicate 50 to 60 individual minutes per session in a private treatment room. Each patient receives continuous care by a Physiotherapist with an active professional registration from the Portuguese Order of Physiotherapists, combining in-person clinical assessment, manual therapy, and guided exercise.
Your First Session: What to Expect
We explain clearly and transparently how your 60-minute in-person initial assessment unfolds.
1. Clinical Anamnesis
We review the history of your symptoms, previous medical imaging (X-rays, MRI), occupational routine, and personal functional goals.
2. Physical Examination
Biomechanical and functional tests, anatomical palpation, measurement of range of motion, muscle strength, and movement patterns.
3. Initial Treatment
Hands-on manual therapy in room, joint mobilisation, or myofascial techniques to reduce tension and improve comfort.
4. Assessment & Plan
The physiotherapist explains the functional assessment, outlines an appropriate plan, and guides your first home exercise.
We issue an itemised invoice with NIF and professional licence number for reimbursement claims with private health insurers (Médis, Multicare, AdvanceCare) or international coverage (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa) under out-of-network rules.

How to Present Google Reviews
This score and review count are fictitious. On a real clinic website, we would display its public Google Business Profile rating without selecting favourable reviews.
This is an example of an aggregate rating and a neutral review request. A real clinic must confirm its data and review how it publishes opinions under healthcare advertising and patient privacy rules.
Neutral Counter Display Stand with QR Code
We empower patients to freely share their feedback via an ethical, physical display stand at the clinic reception.
Informative Landing Page Model for Digital Campaigns
Focused single-conversion page without distractions, designed for clinical awareness campaigns focusing on specific conditions (e.g. lumbar spine) with direct booking of initial assessment (50 €).
Private Direct Care & Insurance Reimbursement
We operate on a direct private practice model to ensure your appointments take place in a private treatment room for a full 50 to 60 minutes, with the exclusive dedication of your physiotherapist.
How does insurance reimbursement work?
We always issue an itemised invoice containing your tax number (NIF), the itemised list of physiotherapy procedures performed, and the professional licence number of the attending physiotherapist. With these details, you can submit claims for reimbursement with your private health insurer or public healthcare subsystem (ADSE, etc.) under out-of-network rules.
Almost all private health insurance providers (Médis, Multicare, AdvanceCare), international insurers (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa), and ADSE (in out-of-network regime) require a prior medical prescription to grant reimbursement for physiotherapy sessions. If you intend to submit claims, we advise securing a doctor's prescription prior to starting treatment. Reimbursement percentages and deadlines depend strictly on your individual insurance policy terms.
At the end of your appointment an itemised invoice is issued detailing clinical procedures and the practitioner's licence.
Submit the invoice and doctor's prescription through your insurer's or healthcare subsystem's online portal or mobile app.
Reimbursement is transferred directly to your bank account according to your policy's out-of-network coverage conditions.
