Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the first physiotherapy session?
The physiotherapist takes your medical history, observes your posture and movement, tests strength, flexibility, and balance, then explains findings and creates a personalized treatment plan.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
Not always — many patients can consult a physiotherapist directly, though a referral is useful when the condition is complex or linked to a recent surgery or diagnosis.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies widely based on the condition, from a handful of sessions for minor issues to months of ongoing therapy for chronic or post-surgical rehabilitation; the assessment helps determine a realistic plan.
Is physiotherapy painful?
The assessment itself is generally comfortable, though testing your range of motion may cause mild, temporary discomfort in an already painful area.
Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?
In many musculoskeletal conditions, physiotherapy can significantly reduce pain and improve function, sometimes avoiding or delaying surgery, though this depends on your specific diagnosis — best assessed by your physiotherapist and treating doctor together.
