Which Doctor to Visit in Belgium for Back Physiotherapy Prescription?

Hello, I need to do physiotherapy sessions for my back/spine but I realize that Belgium law says that I need such sessions prescribed by a doctor first. What kind of a doctor should I visit to have them prescribed? Orthopedist I suppose, but am I right? Thanks. PS. I am a foreigner (EU national) who spends long periods in Brussels for business purposes and suffer from back/spine issues (stenosis). These kind of force me to do physio sessions while in Brussels too.

Even a generalist doctor can prescribe this.

Indeed, you need first to consult a GP to be referred.
