# Physios Plug

> An index of 2 175 physiotherapists and biokineticists in South Africa, compiled from public directory listings, October 2026.

The data is the public facts of each listing: name, category, job titles, HPCSA number, suburb, city and province, the physiotherapist or biokineticist’s published fee, special interests they list, medical aids, their own website, links to the source profiles and a link to the profile photo where the source shows one (the image stays on the source’s server; it is not copied). It is not a contact list: no phone numbers, email addresses or bio text are published. It carries no ratings, reviews or rankings; lists are alphabetical by name. Fees are the physiotherapist or biokineticist’s published rate, not a quote, and every number states its n and month. Listings can be claimed, corrected or removed by the physiotherapist or biokineticist.

## Pages for agents

- Every physiotherapist or biokineticist, city, category-in-city, province and special interest page has a markdown twin (append .md to the path without its trailing slash) and a JSON twin (.json).
- Physiotherapist or biokineticist: https://physiosplug.com/t/a-brink-vitality-63a129d81d6f.md and https://physiosplug.com/t/a-brink-vitality-63a129d81d6f.json
- City (every physiotherapist or biokineticist there in one table): https://physiosplug.com/gauteng/johannesburg.md and https://physiosplug.com/gauteng/johannesburg.json
- Category in a city: https://physiosplug.com/physiotherapists/gauteng/johannesburg.md and https://physiosplug.com/physiotherapists/gauteng/johannesburg.json
- Province: https://physiosplug.com/gauteng.md and https://physiosplug.com/gauteng.json
- Special interest: https://physiosplug.com/issues/orthopaedic-rehabilitation.md and https://physiosplug.com/issues/orthopaedic-rehabilitation.json
- Site data: https://physiosplug.com/api/stats.json, https://physiosplug.com/api/provinces.json, https://physiosplug.com/api/cities.json, https://physiosplug.com/api/issues.json; index at https://physiosplug.com/api/index.json
- Full text of every guide plus the figures: https://physiosplug.com/llms-full.txt
- Markdown twins are served as text/plain. A fetcher that opens only HTML or JSON can read the HTML page or the JSON twin instead.

## Query

Three ways to ask instead of crawling. Every JSON answer carries `generated` (the data date, 2026-10-25) and a Last-Modified header derived from it.
A `?issue=` filter on an HTML city page is applied in the browser only; an agent filters with https://physiosplug.com/api/search.

- Search: https://physiosplug.com/api/search (GET, JSON, alphabetical by name, cached an hour). Example: https://physiosplug.com/api/search?city=cape-town&issue=sports-injuries&limit=3
  - city: city slug (cape-town) or name; a metro suburb (Rondebosch, Sandton) folds to its metro
  - province: province slug (western-cape) or name
  - category: physiotherapist | biokineticist
  - issue: special interest slug as listed at /api/issues.json (sports-injuries, dry-needling)
  - max_fee: ZAR integer; keeps physiotherapists and biokineticists whose published first consultation fee is at or under it (those with no published fee are left out)
  - medical_aid: a medical aid the physiotherapist or biokineticist lists (Discovery Health, GEMS), or "any"
  - q: name contains this text, case-insensitive
  - limit: results per page, default 20, max 100
  - offset: results to skip, default 0
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth, tools: search_physiotherapists_and_biokineticists, get_physiotherapist_or_biokineticist, city_summary, province_summary, list_special_interests, list_cities, fee_median). Add this MCP server:
  { "url": "https://physiosplug.com/mcp" }
- OpenAPI 3.1 for /api/search, /mcp, the static /api/*.json files and the twin URL patterns: https://physiosplug.com/api/openapi.json
- Weekly changes: added, removed, fee changes since the previous collect: https://physiosplug.com/api/changes.json and https://physiosplug.com/changes/

## Ready-made searches

JSON, alphabetical by name, 20 a page (`offset` for the next page); add `&online=true` or `&max_fee=900` to narrow.
