The cost of physical therapy can vary widely depending on various factors such as location, the therapist's experience, the type of therapy needed, the duration and frequency of sessions, and whether you have insurance coverage. In the United States, a session of physical therapy can range from $80 to $120 per session.

Physiotherapy focuses more on manual, hands-on therapy such as soft tissue and fascial releases, stretches, massages, etc. Physical therapy, on the other hand, takes a more exercise-based approach.

While many patients do lose weight over the course of their physical therapy sessions, it's not the aim of physical therapy.
