A typical physiotherapy session usually lasts around 45 minutes. However, at Physio & Sole Clinic, the duration may vary depending on the patient’s condition and specific requirements. Our dedicated team of physiotherapists takes the time to assess each individual’s needs and designs personalised physio care plans, ensuring comprehensive and effective care tailored to their unique circumstances.

No, a referral from a doctor is not always necessary to receive physio care at Physio & Sole Clinic. Our experienced physiotherapists are capable of conducting thorough assessments and identifying your condition independently. However, if you have a doctor’s referral or any relevant medical reports, it can provide valuable insights into your medical history and aid in creating a personalised and effective physio care plan.

Physiotherapy sessions are non-invasive. In your first visit, you will undergo a thorough assessment of your condition. Our physiotherapist will then provide a detailed explanation of the cause of injury and the expected duration of recovery.

Educating our patients with the knowledge of their condition or injury is a big part of the Physio & Sole Clinic’s physiotherapy treatment experience.

The timing of starting physiotherapy after an injury or surgery varies depending on the specific condition and individual circumstances. In many cases, early intervention is crucial to initiate the healing process and prevent further complications. Early intervention also allows physiotherapists to provide the proper advice on the right treatment options to consider. As such, it is best to consult with our skilled physiotherapists as soon as possible after the injury or surgery, allowing them to assess your condition and design a tailored physio-care plan to facilitate your recovery journey.

To determine if physiotherapy is the right option for your specific condition, it is essential to consult with our experienced physiotherapists at Physio & Sole Clinic. They will conduct a thorough assessment, evaluating your medical history, symptoms, and physical limitations. Based on their findings, they will recommend the most suitable physio care plan, explaining the potential benefits and expected outcomes of physiotherapy for your condition.

There are no specific age limitations for receiving physiotherapy aid at Physio & Sole Clinic. Our skilled physiotherapists cater to patients of all age groups, from the young to the silver-haired. Whether you are a child, teenager, adult, or senior, our team is equipped to address a wide range of conditions and injuries, providing specialised care tailored to your unique needs and age-related requirements.

Here at Physio & Sole Clinic, we offer functional rehabilitation for injured athletes. Functional rehabilitation is an extension of physiotherapy whereby the purpose of therapy is to ensure that patients are able to execute highly complex movement patterns used in competitive sports. This will involve building strength and flexibility of the injured body part, and then incorporating agility or kinesthetic training to help patients resume pre-injury levels of activity, without further injuring the body part.

Physiotherapy treatments are safe, and will not re-injure your body. However, you might feel some discomfort and soreness after stretching your injured body part or after a deep tissue massage for your injury. This is because your injured body part might be tight or stiff due to the injury, and you might feel soreness or slight pain after the tension is released. Rest assured, our skilled physiotherapists will adjust the treatments to a suitable pain management level.

Therapeutic exercises are a highly important segment of physiotherapy as it helps to restore the strength of your injured muscle. Other than strength restoration, therapeutic exercises can also help regain or maintain your flexibility, balance, endurance and stability. Your physiotherapist might prescribe therapeutic exercises during your physiotherapy session or as part of your home recovery plan.

Each physiotherapy treatment programme differs with every patient since the nature of the injury can take a different amount of time to heal or recover. It will have to depend on your body’s ability to heal and the severity of your injury. Rest assured, our physiotherapists will be tracking your progress through the sessions, and let you know when your physio care plan is complete.
