AED ranges
There is no single correct price for home physiotherapy — there is a range, and where you land in it depends on scope and which vendor you pick. The app shows you that range up front.
Initial assessment + first treatment (60–75 min)AED 300–600
Standard follow-up session (45–60 min)AED 250–450
Paediatric or geriatric specialist sessionAED 350–600
Ten-session package (total, paid upfront)AED 2,500–5,000
Late-evening or remote-area travel surchargeAED 50–150
What you finally pay depends on the vendor and tier you choose — all of it visible before booking.
Why the licence matters more when the clinic comes to you
In a hospital or clinic, layers of oversight sit between you and a bad practitioner: a medical director, facility inspections, incident reporting, and colleagues who notice sloppy work. In your living room, all of that disappears. The only safeguard left is the licence itself, which is why home physiotherapy is precisely the setting where verification matters most, not least. A physiotherapist in the UAE is a regulated healthcare professional, in the same legal category as a nurse or radiographer, and treating patients without a valid licence is a criminal matter under the UAE's medical liability framework, not a paperwork technicality.
A sports masseur working on a healthy client's tight calves is one thing. The same person manipulating a spine, needling a shoulder or 'rehabbing' a six-week-old knee replacement is another entirely, and the injuries that result, from aggravated disc problems to torn surgical repairs, tend to be expensive and slow to undo.
How to verify a physiotherapist in five minutes
All three regulators run public licence-verification tools, and using them takes less time than reading a page of reviews. For Dubai, the DHA's Sheryan portal lets you search a professional's name and see their licence status, profession and speciality. Abu Dhabi's DoH offers a similar public search for licensed healthcare professionals, and MOHAP maintains a lookup for the northern emirates.
When you compare home physiotherapy vendors in the tamam app, you are choosing between businesses that have been through onboarding checks, but the final verification habit is still worth keeping for any healthcare service, on any platform, anywhere: name, regulator, status, profession. Five minutes, once, before the first session. After that, rebooking the same verified clinician for a course of sessions is the easy part.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check whether a physiotherapist is genuinely licensed in the UAE?
Ask for the clinician's full name and licence number, then check it on the public register of the relevant regulator: the DHA's Sheryan portal for Dubai, the DoH professional search for Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, or MOHAP's lookup for the northern emirates. A legitimate provider will send these details before the visit without being chased.
Will my insurance cover physiotherapy at home rather than in a clinic?
Sometimes, and the only reliable answer comes from your insurer in writing. Many enhanced plans cover home physiotherapy through network home healthcare providers with pre-approval; some basic plans cover physiotherapy only in clinics or only for post-surgical and accident cases. Also ask whether direct billing applies or whether you must pay and claim back.
Is home physiotherapy as effective as going to a clinic?
For assessment, manual therapy, early post-operative rehab and supervised exercise programmes, home treatment by a licensed physio is clinically equivalent, and seeing your real desk setup or stairs can make it better. Clinics win when rehab needs equipment: isokinetic testing, hydrotherapy, parallel bars or late-stage sports conditioning. Many recoveries sensibly start at home and finish in a gym or clinic.
How soon after surgery can home physiotherapy start?
That is the surgeon's call, written into your discharge plan, and for joint replacements it is often within days of leaving hospital because early mobilisation is part of the protocol. The home physio should work from the surgeon's rehab protocol document, not improvise. Ask the provider to confirm the assigned clinician has experience with your specific procedure.
What should I do if pain gets worse after a session?
Mild post-treatment soreness for 24 to 48 hours is common and normal, especially after a first session or new exercises. Sharp worsening pain, new numbness or tingling, significant swelling, or any change in bladder or bowel control is not: contact the physio immediately and see a doctor the same day for the neurological signs. A licensed clinician will want to know and will adjust or escalate; that responsiveness is part of what you are paying for.
