Physiotherapy helps with a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders – both acute injuries and long-term pain conditions.

Typical physiotherapy topics:

• Back pain and lower back stress fractures
• Knee osteoarthritis, sprains and rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament injuries
• Shoulder and hip pain
• Ankle sprains and recurrent ankle injury sequelae
• Abdominal muscle separation rehabilitation and post-operative rehabilitation

Post-operative rehabilitation is an important part of recovery and returning to everyday life.
In our physiotherapy, we rehabilitate for example:

• After knee and hip replacement surgery
• After shoulder and ankle surgery
• After spinal fractures and hip fractures
• Supporting the functional ability of AVH and stroke patients

Our goal is to help you regain strength, balance and mobility – one step at a time.

Our sports physiotherapists will help you return to your sport safely – whether it’s a hamstring injury, knee injury or Achilles tendon rupture. Training is always planned individually according to the demands of the sport and the body’s recovery, so that the risk of injury recurrence remains low.

Physiotherapy is again eligible for Kela compensation – € 15 per visit, for a maximum of four visits per year. Compensation can be applied for costs incurred on or after 1 May 2025

• Book an appointment for ISLO physiotherapy. A doctor’s referral is not required. Only visits paid for by yourself are compensated, i.e. visits paid for with Epassi or Edenred, for example, are not covered by the compensation.
• At the beginning of the treatment period, inform the physiotherapist that you want to apply for Kela compensation for the visits. The physiotherapist will provide all the necessary forms and instructions.
• After the treatment period, send the forms and receipts by post to Kela or electronically to OmaKela. You can easily check the number of visits in OmaKela.
