About totalPHYSIO
How are we different
Located in Raanana, totalPHYSIO is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in orthopedics, sports and spine rehabilitation.
Led by Dr. David Joffe, totalPHYSIO actively combines cutting edge technology with old fashioned caring. A thorough in-depth evaluation is part of every patient’s initial visit. We then craft preventative and rehabilitation exercise programs to uniquely fit your needs. Once the course of treatment has been determined, we focus on hands-on care, patient education, corrective exercises and self-care treatments that will enable the patient to become independent of our services.
totalPHYSIO operates according to international standards and keeps apprised of the most advanced and accepted treatment approaches in manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation.
Unlike many larger clinics, our patients are seen one at a time and on time!
Cooperation with Clalit Mushlam
totalPhysio is one of a select group of clinics that has contracted with ClalitMushlam health insurance to provide physical therapy services. The agreement enables patients that have ClalitMushlam to receive physical therapy treatment privately. For this service at totalPHYSIO, all the patient needs is to present a Doctor’s referral requesting physical therapy. Patients are entitled to up to 12 one hour or 24 half-hour treatments per year.
