FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you're experiencing pain, discomfort, or difficulty moving after an injury, surgery, or chronic condition, physiotherapy might be beneficial. Other signs include limited range of motion, muscle weakness, or difficulty performing everyday activities. A physiotherapist can assess your condition and help determine if treatment is needed.
The time it takes to see improvements depends on the nature of your condition, the severity of the problem, and how consistently you follow the treatment plan. Acute injuries may improve in a few weeks, while chronic conditions might take longer to manage effectively. It’s important to stay committed to your exercises and follow-up appointments for the best results.
Physiotherapy may involve some discomfort, especially if you’re recovering from an injury or have muscle tightness. However, the physiotherapist will work within your pain tolerance and will adjust techniques to ensure that treatment remains safe and effective. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function, not cause more discomfort.
