How a session goes
1. Consultation & Preparatory Physical Therapy
Per managed-benefit rules, at least 2 weeks and 4 sessions of standard PT come first, then manual therapy. Under the clinic’s guidance, pediatric torticollis can begin without prior physical therapy.
2. Posture Analysis & 1:1 30-Minute Manual Therapy
Based on Exbody posture analysis, a therapist delivers 30-minute 1:1 dedicated manual therapy.
3. Regular follow-ups
The doctor reviews progress during treatment and adjusts with an Exbody re-check
Who provides your care?
Dr. Lee Su-jin, rehabilitation medicine specialist, handles consultations and injections. Manual therapy is given one-to-one by a dedicated therapist after the visit.
The 24 to 48 hours after
Aches, stiffness, swelling or bruising can appear for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. This is a normal response as unused muscles start working again; do not get up right away, rest for about five minutes before leaving, and contact the clinic if symptoms are severe or persist. Manual therapy is counted nationwide at one session a day, twice a week and up to 15 a year; beyond that, insurance may not apply. Because one therapist is reserved one-to-one by appointment, repeated no-shows can make the next booking difficult.
What is different here
Both centers start with the doctor, and therapy is focused on one person at a time.
전문의가 직접 진료하고 주사해요
A rehabilitation specialist trained at Asan Medical Center examines children and adults herself and performs the ultrasound and injections.
30분 동안 한 사람만 봐요
Manual therapy and children's therapy are 30-minute one-to-one appointments with a dedicated therapist who stays with you.
두 센터가 한 건물에 있어요
The pain center on the 2nd floor and the development center on B1 share one building, so parents can be treated while their child is in therapy. Three minutes from Bangbae station exit 2.
Manual therapy FAQ
What is managed-benefit manual therapy?
From July 2026, manual therapy operates as a government-designated managed benefit: a 95% co-payment applies, sessions run 30 minutes at the listed fee of KRW 43,850, and treatment normally begins after at least 2 weeks and 4 sessions of standard physical therapy. Children with torticollis and other cases needing early treatment can start manual therapy right away, without that prior physical therapy.
How often can I get manual therapy?
Once a day, usually twice a week, up to 15 sessions a year counted across all clinics nationwide, continued through regular doctor follow-ups.
Can I claim private indemnity insurance?
As a managed-benefit item, we can guide you on the documents needed after consultation. However, if the government limit is exceeded through the nationwide tally, private indemnity coverage can be entirely excluded, so be sure to tell us about treatments at other clinics. Coverage depends on your individual policy.
