같은 부상이라도 일상 복귀와 운동 복귀는 필요한 회복 수준이 다릅니다. 스포츠메디컬센터는 활동 목표를 기준으로 재활 계획을 세웁니다.
Manual therapy FAQ
- When is manual therapy used?
- It is given on a medical assessment when muscle tension and restricted joint movement cause pain, or when range of motion has to be recovered after surgery. Managed-benefit coverage applies only for treatment purposes, not for simple fatigue relief or posture shaping. The therapist works the joints and muscles by hand, with physical or exercise therapy alongside as the condition requires.
- How long does a manual therapy session last?
- Each session runs for 30 minutes or more, in line with the managed-benefit rules. As a managed-benefit item the patient share is 95%, which comes to roughly KRW 40,000 per session.
- Is manual therapy covered by insurance?
- National health insurance covers it as a managed benefit, within a set number of sessions per year — 15 as standard, up to 24 where joint stiffness or similar makes it necessary. Whether your indemnity policy pays depends on its own terms, so check with your insurer and tell us which documents you need; the administration desk will issue them.
