FAQs
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing physical disabilities. It involves a range of techniques and exercises to promote mobility, function, and overall wellbeing.
Physiotherapy can assist in managing various conditions, including but not limited to:
Musculoskeletal injuries (strains, sprains, fractures)
Back pain and neck pain
Joint disorders (like arthritis)
Nerve pain (like sciatica)
Sports injuries
Rehabilitation after surgery or stroke
Neurological disorders (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
Physiotherapy offers numerous benefits, such as:
Pain relief
Improved mobility and flexibility
Strengthening of muscles
Enhanced balance and coordination
Injury prevention
Rehabilitation after injury or surgery
Each session is tailored to your specific needs but typically involves:
Assessment of your condition and medical history
Development of a personalised treatment plan
Hands-on therapy and exercise
Education on self-management techniques and exercises to perform at home
The number of sessions required varies based on your condition, its severity, and your response to treatment. Your physiotherapist will discuss a treatment plan with you and adjust it as needed. This can be a shared decision-making process based on your own goals and expectations.
Physiotherapy aims to alleviate pain, not cause it. While some techniques might cause mild discomfort initially, the overall goal is to improve your condition and reduce pain in the long run. Your therapist will ensure your comfort and adjust treatments accordingly.
