FAQs

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to book an appointment with us. You can directly contact Recovery Physio Therapy to schedule your consultation. However, if you have been referred by a doctor or surgeon, please bring your referral letter and any relevant medical reports or imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) to your first appointment.

During your initial consultation, our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment including your medical history, current symptoms, and a physical examination. We will evaluate your posture, movement patterns, strength, and flexibility. Based on this assessment, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals. Your first session typically lasts 45-60 minutes.

Standard physiotherapy sessions at Recovery Physio Therapy last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The duration may vary depending on your treatment plan and the techniques being used. Initial assessments and complex rehabilitation sessions may take up to 60-90 minutes.

The number of sessions required varies greatly depending on your condition, its severity, and your personal recovery goals. Acute injuries may require 4-6 sessions, while chronic conditions or post-surgical rehabilitation may need 12-20 sessions or more. Your physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline after your initial assessment and will regularly review your progress.

We offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatments including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise programs, electrotherapy (TENS, ultrasound, electrical stimulation), dry needling, cupping therapy, sports massage, joint mobilization, posture correction, gait analysis, balance training, and neurological rehabilitation. We also provide home exercise programs to support your recovery between sessions.

Physiotherapy should not be excessively painful. You may experience some discomfort during certain treatments or exercises, especially when working on tight muscles or stiff joints. However, our physiotherapists always work within your pain tolerance and will communicate with you throughout the session. Any post-treatment soreness is usually mild and temporary, similar to what you might feel after exercise.

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement and gives the physiotherapist access to the area being treated. For lower body conditions, shorts are recommended. For upper body or back issues, wear a tank top or loose shirt. We also recommend wearing comfortable, supportive footwear. If needed, we provide gowns and shorts at our clinic.
