Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition, but most clients notice improvement within 3-6 sessions. We’ll give you a clearer estimate after your first assessment.
Q: Is ultrasound therapy painful?
No, most clients find it relaxing. You may feel mild warmth as the sound waves work. It might pain if hold at the same space for a long time.
Q: What conditions does shockwave therapy treat?
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, calcific tendinitis, and other chronic tendon injuries that haven’t responded well to rest alone.
Q: When can I start post-surgery rehabilitation?
This depends on your surgeon’s guidance, but most patients begin gentle rehabilitation within the first few weeks after surgery. We’ll coordinate your plan around your surgeon’s recovery timeline. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible after your surgery date is confirmed, and bringing any relevant medical documents or surgeon’s notes to your first session so we can plan your rehabilitation safely and effectively.
Q: Do you treat sports injuries even if I'm not a professional athlete?
Yes, absolutely. Our sports rehabilitation programmes are designed for anyone active from weekend athletes to serious competitors recovering from sprains, strains, or overuse injuries.
Q: Can these treatments be combined in one session?
Yes, many clients combine treatments for example, ultrasound therapy alongside manual therapy, or shockwave therapy as part of a broader sports rehab plan — for faster, longer-lasting results. Dry needling is also commonly combined with other treatments, especially for office syndrome, where tight muscles from prolonged sitting benefit from a combined approach targeting both the muscle knots.
We also prescribe specific stretching and strengthening exercises.
Q: Do I need a referral to book a session?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us via WhatsApp, and we’ll assess your condition in your first session.
Q: Do you accept health insurance?
We don’t bill insurance companies directly, but we’re happy to help. You’ll pay for your session at the time of treatment, and we’ll provide a receipt and any necessary documentation so you can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Many of our expat and tourist clients successfully claim their physiotherapy and TCM sessions this way.
Please check with your provider beforehand on their specific coverage and documentation requirements.
