Q: What do I expect from my first physiotherapy treatment?

 A: For your initial consultation/ assessment, the Physiotherapist will document your full medical history, which will be followed by a thorough assessment guided by the presenting complaint(s). This information will be used to isolate the cause, form a physical diagnosis, and structure a treatment plan with you aimed at reducing pain and restoring pain-free function. 

Q: Do you have facilities for in-patients?

 A: Not currently, but we have arrangements with an affiliated guest house for clients from out of town, or requiring frequent rehabilitation sessions.  

Q: What do I need to come along with for a physiotherapy session?

 A: We suggest you wear shorts and a shirt (possibly sleeveless) as this improves access for required assessment, and unhindered movement for exercise. You may also come along with any diagnostic imaging ( Xray/MRI) or report if available. 

Q: Do Physiotherapists see Clients with private health insurance?

 A: Yes, We Partner with a few major HMOs both Nationally and Internationally (including AXA Mansard, Leadway Health,  MetroHealth HMO, Hygeia HMO, Bupa and Reliance HMO). However, please confirm with your HMO before booking an appointment. 

Q: Do I need to be referred for Physiotherapy by a doctor or specialist?

 A: No, you can self-refer. A Physiotherapist can be a point of first contact. If need be, the Physiotherapist may refer to a Physician or other health professional.

Q: How Many Physiotherapy sessions would I need?

A: The number of Physiotherapy sessions required may vary widely among clients, as there are a host of factors that determine prognosis, some of which are; age, presenting condition, comorbidities, severity of condition, health status, adherence to home exercise programmes,  lifestyle e.t.c These factors largely predict how long one's rehabilitation may take.

Q: Can I get a physiotherapist to see me, or someone on admission in a hospital or care facility?

A: Yes you can, just pre-inform the hospital management,  and schedule with us; we'll bring all we need along.
