Therapy costs in Lagos can be difficult to compare when quotations describe different services. One price may cover an assessment, another a treatment visit and another several disciplines. Before choosing a plan, ask for a written explanation of what is included and how the recommendation follows the person's needs.

Compare like with like

Check the professional role, appointment length, setting and whether travel is included. Ask if reports, school liaison or review meetings are part of the fee or charged separately. A lower session price does not necessarily describe the same service, and a higher price does not guarantee a better outcome.

Rehabilitation plans are individualised, including their goals and intensity. Ask why a particular frequency is proposed and how it will be reviewed. Do not assume that a fixed package is clinically necessary simply because it is the only option shown in an advertisement.

Discuss affordability before starting

Explain any budget or scheduling constraints so the provider can clarify what is feasible. Ask whether the plan can be prioritised safely and what the implications of changes would be. Avoid reducing or increasing clinically recommended care without discussing the decision with the team.

Also clarify cancellation, rescheduling and payment arrangements. Keep written records of the agreed service and official receipts. Price information on an old social post may no longer reflect the current service, so request an up-to-date quotation.

Make the next step clear

Flashcells offers a free consultation call to discuss the concern and appropriate assessment pathway. Assessment and treatment fees are confirmed before booking. Payments should be made through Flashcells' official payment arrangements, rather than as cash handed to a therapist.

Contact us with the service you are enquiring about, your location and the person's main needs. We can explain the current assessment fee and prepare the relevant service information without promising a fixed outcome or duration of recovery.
