What to Expect During a Physiotherapy Session

1. Initial Assessment & Consultation

Your first session will begin with a comprehensive assessment. This is one of the most important parts of your treatment plan.

  • We will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and any relevant past injuries.
  • You’ll be asked about your lifestyle, daily activities, and any pain or discomfort you’re experiencing.
  • Then we’ll perform a physical examination to assess your posture, range of motion, strength, and functional limitations.

This helps us understand the root of your problem — not just the symptoms.

2. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

After the assessment, your physiotherapist will explain the diagnosis and create a customized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.

We’ll also explain:

  • What’s causing your symptoms
  • How we plan to treat it
  • What results you can expect
  • How many sessions are likely needed

Please note: Physiotherapy is not a one-time fix. Most conditions require multiple sessions for long-term results and lasting relief. This could range from 5 to 12 sessions, depending on the complexity of your case.

3. Hands-On Treatment

Your session may include:

  • Manual therapy (such as joint mobilization or massage)
  • Therapeutic exercises to improve strength and flexibility
  • Posture correction and movement training
  • Shockwave therapy, EMS muscle stimulation, or shortwave diathermy, depending on your condition

We always aim for a combination of immediate pain relief and long-term healing.

4. Home Exercises and Advice

You’ll be given simple but effective home exercises to support your recovery between visits.

Following your program is essential to achieve the best results.

We’ll also provide tips on:

  • Posture
  • Movement habits
  • Lifestyle changes to prevent re-injury

How Often Should You Come?: Most patients start with 1–2 sessions per week. As you improve, the frequency may decrease. Some conditions improve within a few weeks, while others—especially chronic issues— require longer treatment and maintenance.

Solution:

  • Functional movement analysis

What is Physiotherapy and How Can It Help You?

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It can also prevent future health issues and enhance overall physical performance.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Sports injuries (ACL tears, sprains, tennis elbow)
  • Sciatica and herniated discs
  • Post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Muscle imbalances and chronic tension
  • Tendonitis and plantar fasciitis

What is Shockwave Therapy and How Does It Work?

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to target damaged tissue, stimulate healing, and relieve pain. It’s ideal for:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Calcific shoulder tendinitis
  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow

It boosts blood flow, reduces inflammation, and breaks down calcifications — leading to faster recovery without surgery or medication.

EMS Muscle Stimulation: A Secret Weapon for Recovery

Our EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) device delivers gentle electrical pulses that activate your muscles. This speeds up recovery, improves strength, and prevents muscle atrophy.

Perfect for:

  • Post-surgery recovery
  • Muscle weakness after injury
  • Athletic performance enhancement
