FAQ's

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy, often referred to as physical therapy, is a therapeutic approach focused on restoring and improving an individual's movement, function, and overall well-being. It plays a vital role in physical rehabilitation, prevention of injury, and promoting health and fitness.

What can I expect during the first visit?

During your first visit to a physiotherapist, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment. The physiotherapist will conduct a detailed physical examination to understand the nature and underlying root cause of your condition. This assessment will help in creating a customised treatment plan to address your specific needs.

What should I wear to my appointment?

It is important to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for your visit. This will allow the physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area that needs attention. For example, if you have a knee issue, shorts would be ideal. If you are attending for a shoulder concern, a sleeveless top is recommended. For those with lower back pain, a loose-fitting shirt is advisable.

What are the common types of injuries treated by physiotherapists?

Physiotherapists are able to treat a broad range of injuries resulting from sports, everyday activities (like gardening), or work-related repetitive strain injuries (RSI). They can also assist patients recovering from orthopaedic surgery.

Musculoskeletal injuries: Common conditions include lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder sprains, knee sprains, sciatica, and muscle strains.
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI): These include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tennis elbow, and golfer’s elbow.
Postoperative rehabilitation: Physiotherapists often help with recovery following surgeries such as Total Knee or Hip Replacements, ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Reconstructions, Meniscus Surgeries, Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repairs, and Ankle Reconstructions.
Sports injuries: Usual sports-related injuries include knee ligament damage (ACL, MCL, and LCL), meniscal tears, patellar dislocations, lower back strains, shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and ankle sprains.
Post-fracture rehabilitation: Physiotherapists also provide treatment for fractures such as radial head fractures, wrist fractures, and ankle fractures.
Physio-therapeutic management for various neurological conditions like post stoke hemiplegia, balance disorders, restricted mobility and muscle weakness.
Cardiopulmonary conditions like bronchial asthma, and restrictive lung diseases.
Gynaecological conditions like pelvic floor weakness etc.

Their approach aims to reduce pain, restore movement, and promote recovery regardless of the type of injury sustained by an individual.

What procedures are used in physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy treatment begins with an initial assessment by a physiotherapist, who develops a personalised treatment plan based on the individual’s condition and needs. Various techniques are used in physiotherapy, and the approach may differ depending on each patient’s injury or illness. Common procedures include:

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as Joint Manipulation and Soft Tissue Mobilisation, are used to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Electrotherapy: Electrical stimulation, such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), is used to relieve pain by using electric current at the site of injury.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Heat is applied to relax muscles and increase blood circulation, while cold therapy is used to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Taping and Strapping: Most commonly used for sports injuries, this method provides support to muscles and joints, thereby reducing the risk of further injury.
Ultrasound Therapy: Sound waves are used to speed up tissue repair in case of deep injuries by improving blood circulation. This approach results in less pain.
Body weight support treadmill training for improvement of gait and balance.
Biodex balance trainer for advanced balance training.

The physiotherapist may choose any of these methods based on the patient’s condition. This helps ensure a targeted and effective treatment plan.
