Hey I am looking for a physiotherapist.- Not a chiropractor, not a clinic, not a good dr. (Kyoto is also ok)
Anyone know any?I speak Japanese and have a car so location/language is not an issue.
Thank you in advance.

You need to see a doctor first then (s)he will write a referral to certified physiotherapist. Without a medical examination by a doctor, a physiotherapist isn’t allowed to work legally. That’s how Japanese insurance works. Most hospitals have orthopedics整形外科 and rehabilitationリハビリテーション, you can definitely use your insurance. It just depends which you prefer, private clinics (ex. http://shishinkai-moritaclinic.com/) or mega hospitals.(ex. http://www.kitano-hp.or.jp/en)
