Will physiotherapy be painful?
Your physiotherapist will always remain within your tolerance while treating you. Some cases, such as post-surgery patients, will experience a little pain as they begin movement again, but this will subside as you progress. Some may experience soreness after the treatment session, but your therapist will teach you how to deal with this.
The treatments will never be unbearably painful or worsen your condition.

Is Physician’s Prescription Needed?
A Doctor’s referral/prescription is not mandatory to receive physiotherapy treatment. In case your doctor has recommended Physiotherapy to you, we can work closely with your doctor to optimize your care. Our Physiotherapists undergo intensive training, as per current international best practices, so that we have the necessary skills to examine, diagnose, treat and advise our patients. After an assessment, if there is a need, you will be guided for further investigations or will be referred to another medical practitioner.
