Frequently Asked Questions About Physiotherapy

Answers to common questions about physiotherapy treatment

A physiotherapy session typically involves:

  • Assessment: Your physiotherapist will take a detailed medical history and perform a thorough examination of your movement, strength, and function
  • Diagnosis: Based on their clinical findings, they'll identify the underlying causes of your problem and develop a personalized treatment plan
  • Treatment: Your treatment may include a combination of:
    • Manual therapy techniques (joint mobilization, soft tissue massage)
    • Therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific needs
    • Movement retraining and functional rehabilitation
    • Electrophysical agents (ultrasound, TENS, etc.) when appropriate
    • Education about your condition and self-management strategies
  • Home program: You'll receive a personalized exercise program to continue your rehabilitation between sessions

Your physiotherapist will work collaboratively with you to set realistic goals and track your progress. Initial appointments typically last 45-60 minutes, with follow-up sessions usually 30-45 minutes.

The number of physiotherapy sessions needed varies based on:

  • Nature and severity of your condition: Acute injuries often resolve faster than chronic or complex conditions
  • Your rehabilitation goals: Return to high-level sports may require more sessions than basic pain management
  • Individual factors: Age, general health, tissue healing rates, and adherence to your home exercise program all affect recovery time

Typical treatment durations include:

  • Acute injuries: 3-6 sessions over 2-4 weeks
  • Subacute conditions: 6-10 sessions over 4-8 weeks
  • Chronic conditions: 8-12 sessions initially, possibly with ongoing maintenance
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation: 12+ sessions over several months, depending on the procedure

Your physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and expected timeframes. This plan is regularly reassessed and modified based on your progress and response to treatment.

Physiotherapy is considered very safe when delivered by qualified practitioners. At Holistic Healthcare Clinics, all our physiotherapists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and adhere to strict professional standards.

Most treatments have minimal or no side effects, though you might experience:

  • Temporary soreness after manual therapy or exercise (similar to muscle soreness after a workout)
  • Mild fatigue following initial treatment sessions
  • Short-term increase in symptoms as tissues adapt to new movement patterns

These responses are normal, typically last 24-48 hours, and are often signs that your body is responding to treatment. Your physiotherapist will explain what to expect based on your specific treatment plan and will adjust techniques if you experience discomfort.

Before beginning treatment, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment including your medical history to ensure all interventions are appropriate and safe for your specific condition. Treatment techniques are always modified based on your individual health status and comfort level.

Physiotherapy works through multiple evidence-based approaches and mechanisms:

  • Movement restoration: Physiotherapy uses targeted interventions to improve mobility, strength, and coordination through:
    • Manual therapy to improve joint motion and tissue flexibility
    • Progressive therapeutic exercise to build strength and endurance
    • Neuromuscular reeducation to restore optimal movement patterns
    • Functional training to transfer gains to daily activities
  • Pain modulation: Physiotherapy can help manage pain through:
    • Manual techniques that stimulate mechanoreceptors and inhibit pain signals
    • Graded exercise that promotes endorphin release
    • Modalities like TENS or therapeutic ultrasound when appropriate
    • Education about pain mechanisms and self-management strategies
  • Tissue healing: Physiotherapy interventions can enhance recovery by:
    • Promoting optimal blood flow to injured tissues
    • Guiding appropriate tissue loading during healing phases
    • Preventing compensatory patterns that could lead to secondary problems
  • Biomechanical optimization: Physiotherapists analyze and correct factors contributing to injury or dysfunction:
    • Assessment of muscle imbalances and movement asymmetries
    • Correction of poor posture or technique during activities
    • Development of efficient movement strategies that reduce tissue stress

By combining these approaches with patient education and active involvement in the rehabilitation process, physiotherapy addresses both immediate symptoms and underlying causes to promote long-term recovery and prevention.

Before your session:

  • Wear appropriate clothing that allows movement and access to the area being treated (athletic wear, shorts, t-shirt)
  • Bring any relevant medical information, including imaging reports, doctor's referrals, or medication lists
  • Consider what activities aggravate or relieve your symptoms to share with your physiotherapist
  • Prepare specific questions about your condition or treatment plan
  • For your first visit, arrive 10-15 minutes early to complete intake forms

After your session:

  • Follow your home exercise program as prescribed—consistency is key to successful outcomes
  • Apply ice or heat as recommended by your physiotherapist
  • Modify activities as advised to protect healing tissues while maintaining function
  • Stay hydrated and consider gentle movement if you experience post-treatment soreness
  • Keep track of how your symptoms respond to treatment and any challenges with exercises to discuss at your next appointment

It's important to understand that physiotherapy often involves a gradual improvement process rather than immediate relief. Some patients feel better right away, while others may experience temporary soreness before improving. Your physiotherapist will explain what to expect based on your specific condition and treatment approach.
