What counts as a fact on this site?
A fact is a number, date, rule or finding that we can trace to a public source we have opened and read. It carries a short note on the page and a link to the original.
Everything else is written as plain guidance from physiotherapy practice, with no figure attached. If we cannot find a reliable source, we say “it varies” or “ask your doctor”, and we do not fill the gap with a guess.
How does a source become a sentence?
We follow the same steps for every page.
- We search for the original source: a health organisation, a government statistics release, a journal abstract or a local news report.
- We open the page and read the figure in context. If it comes from a search extract only, we mark it as unconfirmed and do not publish the number.
- We record the name of the source, the link and the date we read it.
- We write the sentence close to what the source says, and add a marker that links it to the fact.
- We run a check that fails the page if a statistic has no source behind it.
How do we treat news reports and vendor pages?
News reports are useful for local context but they are not the law or the guideline itself. When we use one, we say so, for example “according to a June 2026 news report”, and we do not present it as the text of the regulation.
Pages written by companies that sell bookings can contain useful hints, but their numbers arrive without a stated method. We treat them as estimates and, where possible, do not publish them as facts.
How do we handle other providers’ prices?
We do not publish another clinic’s price unless we can read it on that provider’s own website on the day we check. The public Ipoh price listings we found were mostly on directories rather than the clinics’ own sites, and some were years old, so we left their figures out.
Our fees page says what affects cost.
How do we describe other providers?
Our Ipoh physiotherapy directory lists what providers state publicly, with the source and the date we read it. We list what providers state themselves, and we leave out ratings, reviews and personal names.
No provider or hospital is linked to us or endorses us, and the directory says nothing to suggest otherwise. Details change, so readers should always confirm with the provider.
How do we describe who does what?
We use the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC) rules for physiotherapists when we write about registration. When a news article describes how physiotherapists differ from other roles, we attribute it to the organisation quoted, as in the comments from the PPCOA reported in The Star in April 2026 [2].
Where two sources conflict, we say so or leave the number out.
When do we review pages, and how do you send a correction?
We date the sources, and we revisit pages when a source changes or when a reader tells us something is out of date. Our editorial policy explains the review steps in more detail, and the about page explains who we are.
To send a correction, message us on WhatsApp with the page, the line and a source if you have one. Our contact page lists what to include. For anything about your own health, see when to seek medical care first, because a web page cannot replace an assessment.
