Physiotherapy in Wezembeek-Oppem
Physiotherapy treats disorders of movement and function: joint and muscle pain, recovery after surgery or injury, respiratory conditions, and problems with balance and walking. It relies on movement, exercise and manual techniques. In Belgium, reimbursement by the INAMI/RIZIV requires a medical prescription.
