Editorial Review Process

Every clinical page on PhysioIpoh - covering conditions, treatments, services, and educational articles - is reviewed by M. Thurairaj before publication. The review checks medical accuracy, verifies treatment recommendations align with current evidence-based practice in Malaysia, and confirms that cost ranges, referral rules, and clinical timelines reflect real conditions in Perak.

Pages are re-reviewed at least every 12 months or when significant changes in clinical guidelines occur. The "Last reviewed" date displayed on each page reflects the most recent review.

What the Review Checks

  • Clinical accuracy of condition descriptions and treatment protocols
  • Cost ranges and session counts reflective of Perak clinic averages
  • Malaysia-specific referral rules and insurance considerations
  • Red-flag screening guidance for serious pathology
  • Currency against national and international evidence-based guidelines
