Physiotherapy can treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain, arthritis, back pain, neck pain, joint injuries, and more. Our physiotherapists create personalized treatment plans for various conditions to help you recover efficiently.
During your first session, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment, which may include taking your medical history, discussing your symptoms, and performing physical exams to assess your movement and strength. Based on your condition, they will then recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of your condition. Typically, each session lasts around 30 to 60 minutes. The number of sessions required depends on your specific condition and recovery goals, which your physiotherapist will discuss with you after the initial evaluation.
