I love Swedish healthcare! Oh, and I love Fysiocenter Odenplan!…read more
Sweden's healthcare is fantastic. A specialist visit costs just 300 SEK, and once you get up to a certain amount, something like 1200, everything after that is free for the remainder of the one-year period.
Aaand, guess what? This physical therapy location is partnered with the city so that it's not private like many clinics. You can go here for just 100 SEK a visit, or if you have the 'free card' (frikort) from enough visits to the doctor, then it's free. You don't even need a referral from another doctor - you can just go ahead and book an appointment.
You can book the appointment online, through Mina Vårdkontakter (My Health Contacts) if you have a Swedish person number. You don't have to wait very long either - I was able to book an appointment two weeks away.
All of their personnel are listed online, so you can even read about their experience and choose the one that sounds right for you. I dance a lot and wanted someone who would understand the specific issues which come with that, so I looked online and found Jessica, whose profile stated that she had dance experience. Perfect!
I met with Jessica once approximately every two weeks for a certain problem, and when that was fixed, I brought up another issue I had - and she helped me with that as well! I have found the staff at Fysiocenter Odenplan to be very friendly, very personal, and very
knowledgeable. Not only did Jessica help me to address and fix the pains I have had for a long time; she also taught me why it was that way, and taught me a lot about my own body.
The office itself is located way up near the top of the building, and the views are incredible - so that's a plus too!
