Physiotherapy Services

FAQ's
Do I need a doctor’s referral to start physiotherapy?
No referral is required. You can book directly with our physiotherapy team for assessment and treatment, though we also coordinate closely with orthopedic consultants when needed.
How do I know if physiotherapy is right for my condition?
Physiotherapy is suitable for pain, stiffness, injury, or movement limitations. An initial assessment helps determine whether conservative rehabilitation or specialist referral is most appropriate.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition, goals, and response to treatment. Some issues improve within a few sessions, while others require structured longer-term rehabilitation.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy should not be painful, though some discomfort may occur during recovery. Our approach prioritizes safe, controlled progress while respecting your pain tolerance.
Can physiotherapy help me avoid surgery?
In many cases, yes. Physiotherapy can significantly improve function and reduce pain, potentially delaying or eliminating the need for surgical intervention.
Do you provide post-surgical rehabilitation?
Yes. We offer structured post-operative rehabilitation programs designed in coordination with orthopedic consultants to support safe and effective recovery.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy session?
Comfortable clothing that allows free movement is recommended. This helps ensure accurate assessment and effective treatment during your session.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Yes. Home exercises are an essential part of recovery and are tailored to your condition to support progress between sessions.
What is dry needling, and how does it work?
Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into trigger points or tight muscles to relieve tension and pain. It’s particularly effective for treating conditions like myofascial pain syndrome and muscle spasms. Our trained physiotherapists in Dubai use this technique to provide targeted relief.
Do you provide physiotherapy for children and adolescents?
Yes, we offer pediatric physiotherapy to address developmental delays, postural issues, and sports injuries in children and adolescents. Our child-friendly approach ensures young patients feel comfortable while receiving effective care.
How long does a typical physiotherapy session last?
A standard physiotherapy session at Westminster Clinic lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. The duration may vary based on the condition being treated and the progress made during each visit.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition, its severity, and your response to treatment. During your initial assessment, our physiotherapist will outline a treatment plan and provide an estimate of the required sessions to achieve your goals.
How soon should I start physiotherapy after an injury?
Early intervention is often beneficial. Starting physiotherapy promptly can reduce recovery time, prevent complications, and improve long-term outcomes.
Are your physiotherapy services covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans in Dubai cover physiotherapy services, but coverage may vary based on your provider and policy. Our team can assist you in verifying your insurance and understanding the reimbursement process.
Can physiotherapy help with long-standing or chronic pain?
Absolutely. Chronic pain physiotherapy focuses on improving movement, reducing sensitivity, and restoring function rather than only addressing symptoms.
