Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from our patients:
1. What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy (also known as physical therapy) uses movement, exercises, manual therapy, and education to restore your mobility, reduce pain, and improve your overall quality of life.
2. What conditions can physiotherapy help with?
We help treat a range of conditions, including sports injuries, back and neck pain, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, neurological issues (like stroke or Parkinson’s), and more.
3. How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition and recovery goals. Some patients feel better in a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing therapy. We’ll create a personalized plan for you.
4. Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist?
You usually don’t need a referral to see us directly, but some insurance plans might require one. Feel free to check with your provider!
5. What happens during my first session?
We’ll take a detailed history, assess your condition, and start treatment right away—whether it’s exercises or hands-on techniques.
6. Will physiotherapy hurt?
You might feel mild discomfort as your body adjusts, but physiotherapy is designed to help, not hurt! Let us know if anything feels too intense.
7. What’s the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic care?
Physiotherapy involves exercises, manual therapy, and education to restore movement. Chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustments for alignment.
