Get pain under control
If pain is holding you back from getting enough exercise, you could see a physiotherapist. A physio can provide treatment aimed to relieve the pain, as well as teaching you how to look after yourself and prevent future injuries.
Depending on your level of health cover, and whether you have extras, your private health insurance might be able to help with costs associated with your treatment. By choosing a Members' Choice provider you may be eligible to receive a fixed percentage back on the total bill of eligible services, up to your annual limit and subject to any waiting periods – this could be 55%, 70%, 85% or 100% depending on your cover. You can find your nearest Members’ Choice provider here.
