Physiotherapist’s direct appointment at a health station

Physiotherapists treat various injuries and symptoms of the musculoskeletal system at health stations.

At a physiotherapist's direct appointment, you will receive personalised advice and guidance for alleviating your symptoms and improving your ability to function.

If you have any knee, back or shoulder ailments, you can receive a physiotherapist's direct appointment by using the online symptom checker in the Omaolo service. You can also contact your health centre by phone to book an appointment with a physiotherapist if needed.  You can find the contact information of your health station at hel.fi/healthstations.
