Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Treatments designed to make you feel your best

Physiotherapy helps restore movements and functions when you’re affected by injuries, illnesses or disabilities. We begin by identifying and resolving pain, before working on restoring strength, movements and functions as much as possible.

Our goal is to enable you to manage your physical movements independently, allowing you to return to familiar activities and a healthy lifestyle.

Restore your well-being professionally

Let our team of specialists guide you to your independence. Research has proven that the earlier the treatment, the shorter the recovery period. Get in touch with our team so that we can put you on the fast lane to recovery right away.

Other services and therapies

Therapeutic exercise emphasises on active participation of the patient rather than relying only on electrical and mechanical equipment. The session includes individual exercises, postural training and advice. This exercise helps to improve musculoskeletal, stroke and spinal conditions. Also ideal for sports injury, geriatric rehabilitation, arthritis, post-surgical condition and treatment of special children.

Manual therapy is conducted by hand and at times in combination with electrical mechanisms and treatments such as: ultrasonic, infrared rays, paraffin wax bath, interferential currents and more.

Chest physiotherapy is provided for treatment of lung disease. The session includes simple breathing exercises or the use of equipment to make breathing easier and to help patients clear their chests.

Thermotherapy, involves the use of heat to widen blood vessels and increase blood flow to the skin, creating a therapeutic effect on muscles and tissues.

Cryotherapy, including the use of ice bags and cold packs, helps to restrict blood flow to an injured area, preventing excessive bleeding and swelling.

Home educational and advice is also a service we provide to best manage your condition as well as future prevention. Education will not only serve patients well but also benefit the caregivers.
