Frequently Asked Questions
About Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of physical conditions and injuries. It aims to restore function, improve mobility, and relieve pain.

Physiotherapy can benefit individuals of all ages who are experiencing pain, limited mobility, or functional impairments due to injury, chronic conditions, or surgical procedures.

While some insurance plans may require a referral from a general practitioner, it's usually not necessary. You can often book an appointment directly.

Your first visit will typically include a thorough assessment. The physiotherapist will ask questions about your medical history, symptoms, and goals. This is often followed by a physical examination to assess your condition further.

We generally use a range of treatment options, including clinical exercise, manual techniques, and orthotic support, tailored to your specific needs.

The duration can vary depending on the treatment plan, but a typical session usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.

The number of required sessions will depend on your individual condition and treatment goals. Your physiotherapist will discuss this with you during your initial consultation.

Physiotherapy is often covered by health insurance plans, but it's advisable to check with your insurance provider for details on coverage and any necessary pre-authorisations.

It's best to wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. This will enable the physiotherapist to assess and treat you properly.

Some discomfort is possible during treatment, especially when addressing areas of pain or tension. However, your physiotherapist will aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

It's essential to consult your physiotherapist about your specific exercise regimen. Some activities may need to be modified to prevent further injury.
