Physiotherapy FAQs
What do we treat?
«Our experienced physiotherapists specialise in musculoskeletal injuries. For example, joint and muscle injuries or sports injuries, back and neck pain or post-surgery rehabilitation.
Back and neck pain or stiffness and painful joints, are commonly treated at our clinics. Conditions that affect the way we move, sit or walk like postural and muscle asymmetries and poor balance are also seen on a regular basis.
How often should you go to Physiotherapy?
«Every patient and injury are different so there is no “standard” answer to this question.
After a detailed assessment your physiotherapist will discuss with you what they think is the best plan to achieve normal pain free function and movement, so you can return to your everyday activities as quickly and safely as possible.
For some conditions, you may only need advice and an exercise/rehab plan, but post-surgery and chronic conditions for example, may take a few appointments. Your physiotherapist will go through this with you.
How quickly does Physiotherapy work?
«The speed at which physiotherapy produces noticeable results can vary widely depending on several factors, including the nature and severity of the condition being treated, the individual’s overall health and fitness level, their adherence to the prescribed treatment and rehabilitation plan.
Does Physiotherapy help Arthritis?
«Physiotherapy can be beneficial for individuals with arthritis. Arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation and stiffness in the joints, which can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and decreased function.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 ★★★★★ (818)
I booked a 45 minute physio assessment following concerns with hip mobility and pain. Micheal was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem. He created an exercise plan tailored to my needs and gave me confidence that I will be able to reach my goals.
Very comfortable atmosphere, and this was down to Micheal's communication skills. I thought the session was value for money and with free advice and training program added in, free of charge was a bonus, when you need that guidance to improve your physical capabilities. I also liked the numerous par...king options, as the lack of parking in some business, can cause lots of unnecessary problems. read more
Really good physio session from Michael, highly recommended.
Detailed physio workup on my issues and speedy follow up 🙂
