Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

How can I prevent workplace injuries?
Maintain good posture, take regular movement breaks, use proper lifting techniques, optimize your workstation ergonomics, and seek early treatment if you develop persistent pain or stiffness.
Do you provide home service?
Yes, we do. We provide home services especially for patients that find it difficult to be moved to and from the facility and for patients that will need more sessions to achieve their goals.
How long will my session take?
Initial sessions take between an hour and one hour, thirty minutes. Thirty to forty-five minutes for subsequent or follow up sessions.
Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?
Yes, in many cases physiotherapy can help you avoid surgery but that depends on some factors like the condition and its severity. Early physiotherapy may often lead to a better outcome and, for many patients, can delay or eliminate the need for surgery.
Can physiotherapy help with chronic pain?
Yes, physiotherapy can help manage chronic pain. While it may not always eliminate the pain completely, it can reduce its intensity, improve function and enhance the quality of life.
What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?
Your first physiotherapy session begins with a thorough assessment, including a discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and a physical examination. Your physiotherapist will explain their findings, discuss the likely cause of your condition, and work with you to set personalised treatment goals. A tailored treatment plan is then developed, and your first treatment session begins.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Yes. A personalised home exercise programme tailored to your condition and recovery goals will be provided. These exercises are designed to support your treatment, promote faster recovery, and help you achieve lasting results.
Do you provide rehabilitation after fractures?
Yes. We provide comprehensive rehabilitation following fractures mostly after they have been reduced to help you regain strength, mobility, flexibility, and function. Your treatment plan is suited to your stage of healing. Treatment may include pain management, guided exercises, joint mobilisation, balance training, and functional activities to support a safe and effective recovery.
