The journey

In 4 steps you're up and running.

From the first free assessment to the start of the journey, on average 2-3 days go by. Every step is clear, no surprises.

Live
  1. 01

    Private

    You fill in the questionnaire

    A few questions about your case: where it hurts, for how long, what you would like to go back to doing. It tells us what you need before you even talk to anyone.

  2. 02

    Always the same one

    We assign you your physiotherapist

    Based on your answers we match you with the right professional for your case: name, photo and what they work on. They follow you for the whole path — and if they do not convince you, you can change them whenever you like, but continuity with the same person is what makes the difference.

  3. 03

    Free and non-binding

    You meet, and decide together

    The first video consultation is with them, not with someone who then hands you to a colleague. They assess your condition, tell you whether online physiotherapy suits your case, and if it does not, they say so.

  4. 04

    In chat, when needed

    They propose the path, you decide

    It is the physiotherapist who proposes the sessions in chat: one at a time or the whole path together. You accept what convinces you and pay only for that. There is no package to buy blind before you have spoken to anyone.

What makes Ri-Hub Ri-Hub

6 features of our journey.

Dedicated medical history

Free assessments are carried out by physiotherapists dedicated to that phase, who listen and then route to the specialist colleague.

Eligibility first

We check whether telerehabilitation is the right solution for you. If it isn't, we tell you.

Tailored plan

Number of sessions, frequency and activities personalised to your condition and your schedule.

45 effective minutes

Live sessions, no pre-recorded videos. The physio sees you and corrects you in real time.

Continuous monitoring

Pain, mobility, strength measured session after session. See your progress in real numbers.

It ends when it should

The path does not have a length decided in advance: the physiotherapist proposes it a piece at a time, and when it is no longer needed, they tell you.

Where it happens

You learn the exercises where you will actually repeat them.

This is the real advantage of physiotherapy online, and it is not convenience: it is that you learn the movement in the place and with the things you already have. Your sofa at home, your desk at work, a room on holiday, the garden. Nobody has to translate into a living room what they learnt in a clinic.

  • An elderly man with a white beard, sitting on his living-room sofa, raises a stick above his head following the screen in front of him.

    At home, on the sofa

  • A man in a white T-shirt, in a room being redecorated, looks at the tablet resting on a wooden ladder step while performing a movement.

    Between two things at work

  • A young woman sitting on a rock by the sea stretches her arm in front of a tablet resting on her lap.

    On holiday, without skipping a session

  • An elderly woman sitting at a garden table stretches with her hands behind her head, in front of the tablet on the table.

    In the garden, when the weather is good

Where everything happens

One place: the app.

Video call, chat with your physiotherapist, exercises to watch again, invoices. You need neither Zoom nor Meet, and there is nothing to install if you prefer the browser: the session opens on app.ri-hub.it.

  • The Ri-Hub app home screen: “Your physiotherapist, wherever you are”, with the button to book the first visit.

    Where you start

  • The app screen summarising the programme: progress ring, sessions completed and pain level.

    The programme, session by session

When it ends

The path ends when it should, not at a fixed number.

There is no «standard cycle»: the physiotherapist builds the plan on your case, and some do six sessions while others do twenty. When it is time to take stock they propose it: you go back over the path, redo the assessment and compare results with the starting point. It is free, lasts twenty minutes and happens online.

  • Close the path, because the goals have been reached
  • Continue, to consolidate or for a new goal
  • Change approach, for example adding an in-person specialist

No automatism. You always decide, with all the information in hand.

The limits, said upfront

What can be done remotely, and what cannot.

Not everything works through a screen, and saying so first is the only thing that makes the rest credible. Here is how far online physiotherapy goes, and where it stops.

What can be done remotely

  • Assessing movement, strength and pain, and tracking how they change over time
  • Teaching the exercises and correcting them as you do them, live
  • Building a programme that is updated session after session
  • Supporting recovery after surgery, within the surgeon’s protocol
  • Explaining a scan report and what it actually means

What cannot

  • Manual therapy: at a distance nobody can lay hands on you
  • Machines — tecar, laser, ultrasound
  • Tests that need physical contact, and any diagnosis that depends on them
  • The very acute phase right after an injury
  • Emergencies: those do not wait for an appointment

If the first consultation shows that your case needs something that cannot be done remotely, we say so and we do not start. It is free precisely because it also serves this purpose.

Prices

Group from €24.90, individual from €29.90.

The price depends on the format: 50-minute group €24.90 per person, 30-minute individual €29.90, 30-minute short group €14.90 per person, Ri-Hub Junior €59.90. Two notes. The 50-minute long individual at €49.90 is not for sale: the physiotherapist proposes it when it is clinically needed. The short group is the maintenance format and starts from two people: it is not where you begin, it is how you keep what you have gained. In Italy the cost is 19% tax-deductible, as healthcare provided by registered professionals.

You pay in the app, session by sessionAMEXPayPayPayPalsatispay

Which format your case needs is something the physiotherapist works out in the first consultation, which is free, and proposes in chat. No standard packages, no number of sessions promised in advance.

Ready to start?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the journey.

Is the first consultation with the physiotherapist who will follow me?
Yes, and that is the point. Whoever does your first consultation is the one who follows you through the whole path: you are not listened to by one person and then handed to another. That is how it used to work; not any more.
Can I choose the physiotherapist myself?
We match you based on your questionnaire answers, because choosing on your own is hard: you do not know what to look at. We tell you who they are, what they work on and why them. If they do not convince you, you change them in the app whenever you like, at no cost — but continuity with the same person is what makes the difference to results.
How long does a journey last?
There is no standard course: the number of sessions depends on the condition, how long you have had it, your goals and how you respond. No clinical guideline prescribes a number — "ten sessions" is a commercial package format, not a therapeutic dose. Your physiotherapist proposes the path in chat after the first consultation: session by session or all at once.
Can I have the first consultation even if I am not sure?
Of course, that is exactly why it is free. It is there to understand your situation and let you judge whether online is right for you. If the consultation shows it is not, we tell you and we do not start the path.
What's needed technically?
Stable internet connection, computer/tablet/smartphone with webcam and microphone. The video call happens inside the Ri-Hub app or in browser at app.ri-hub.it — no Zoom, no Google Meet.
Is it tax-deductible?
Yes. Every session generates a healthcare invoice that is 19% tax-deductible (Italian IRPEF), sent automatically by email after payment.
Do I have to buy a package before talking to anyone?
No, and that is a difference that matters. The first consultation is free. After that, it is the physiotherapist who proposes the sessions: you accept what convinces you and pay only for that. No packages bought blind, no subscription.
