Our Physiotherapy Services

We provide comprehensive physiotherapy care for adults and seniors, addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions that affect movement, function, and quality of life, including:

General & Foundational Care

General Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists provide thorough assessment and rehabilitation for common musculoskeletal conditions such as persistent muscle pain, joint stiffness, and movement limitations. The focus is on restoring normal movement patterns, improving strength and flexibility, and supporting long-term physical function.

Chronic Pain Physiotherapy

Chronic musculoskeletal pain can significantly impact daily activities and overall wellbeing. Our physiotherapy-led programs focus on pain modulation, movement retraining, and functional rehabilitation to help patients manage long-standing pain and regain confidence in movement.

Arthritis & Joint Stiffness Rehabilitation

Arthritis and joint stiffness can reduce mobility and independence over time. Our physiotherapists at Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic at Dubai Healthcare City design individualized rehabilitation plans to maintain joint range of motion, strengthen supporting muscles, reduce stiffness, and support safe, active living.

 

Spine & Nerve Rehabilitation

Back Pain Physiotherapy

Back pain may result from poor posture, muscle imbalance, disc-related issues, or degenerative changes. Our physiotherapists use structured rehabilitation programs to reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and prevent recurrence.

Neck Pain Physiotherapy

Neck pain is commonly associated with prolonged desk work, poor ergonomics, or cervical spine dysfunction. We provide focused physiotherapy to relieve stiffness, restore range of motion, improve posture, and reduce tension-related discomfort.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain Therapy

Sciatic and nerve-related pain can cause radiating discomfort, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. Our rehabilitation approach focuses on nerve mobilization, postural correction, and gradual strengthening to relieve pressure on affected nerves and improve functional tolerance.

Disc Bulge & Slip Disc Physiotherapy

Disc bulges and slip disc conditions may lead to back pain, nerve compression, and restricted movement. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our physiotherapy programs aim to stabilize the spine, reduce inflammation, and restore safe movement through guided exercises and progressive rehabilitation.

 

Shoulder Rehabilitation

Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy

Shoulder pain can result from overuse, poor posture, injury, or degenerative changes. Our physiotherapists focus on restoring shoulder mobility, improving joint stability, and reducing pain through targeted exercises and manual techniques, helping patients regain comfortable, functional movement.

Frozen Shoulder Rehabilitation

Frozen shoulder can lead to progressive stiffness and significant restriction of arm movement. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, rehabilitation programs are designed to gradually restore range of motion, reduce pain, and improve shoulder function through staged, evidence-based physiotherapy.

Rotator Cuff Injury Rehabilitation

Rotator cuff injuries often cause weakness, pain, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Our physiotherapy approach focuses on strengthening the shoulder stabilizers, improving biomechanics, and supporting recovery through structured rehabilitation, whether as a conservative treatment or following surgical repair.

 

Knee, Ankle & Lower Limb Rehabilitation

Knee Pain Physiotherapy

Knee pain may arise from overuse, ligament strain, cartilage wear, or postural imbalance. Our physiotherapists focus on reducing pain, improving joint stability, and restoring functional movement through targeted strengthening, flexibility training, and gait correction.

Ankle Sprain & Foot Injury Rehabilitation

Ankle and foot injuries can affect balance, walking mechanics, and long-term joint stability if not properly rehabilitated. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, rehabilitation programs are designed to restore strength, mobility, and proprioception, helping patients return safely to daily activities and sports while reducing the risk of recurrence.

 

Sports Injury & Ligament Rehabilitation

Ligament Injury Rehabilitation (ACL, MCL, Meniscus)

Ligament injuries of the knee can lead to instability, pain, and reduced confidence in movement. Our physiotherapy programs focus on restoring joint stability, improving strength and neuromuscular control, and supporting a safe return to daily activities or sports, whether managed conservatively or following surgery.

Muscle Tear & Strain Rehabilitation

Muscle tears and strains often occur due to sudden overload, poor conditioning, or inadequate recovery. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, rehabilitation emphasizes controlled healing, gradual strengthening, flexibility restoration, and prevention of re-injury through structured physiotherapy programs.

Tendonitis & Tendon Injury Therapy

Tendon injuries and overuse conditions can cause persistent pain and reduced function if not properly treated. Our physiotherapists address tendon loading, movement mechanics, and tissue recovery using progressive rehabilitation strategies to relieve pain and support long-term tendon health.

Advanced Physiotherapy Techniques & Modalities

Dry Needling Therapy

Dry needling is used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement by targeting trigger points and dysfunctional muscle patterns. This technique is integrated into rehabilitation programs where appropriate to enhance recovery and functional outcomes.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to mobilize joints, reduce soft tissue restriction, and improve range of motion. Our physiotherapists use manual techniques as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore normal movement and relieve pain.

Electrotherapy (TENS, IFC)

Electrotherapy modalities such as TENS and IFC are used to support pain relief, reduce muscle spasm, and improve circulation. These treatments complement active rehabilitation by helping manage symptoms during recovery phases.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is applied to support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery in soft tissue injuries. It is commonly used alongside exercise-based rehabilitation to enhance treatment effectiveness.

 

Rehabilitation Philosophy, Integrated Care & Consultation

At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our physiotherapy approach is centered on goal-based, function-driven rehabilitation. Every treatment plan is designed to improve mobility, strength, posture, and independence, with a strong emphasis on education-led recovery and injury prevention. Rehabilitation is progressed carefully and systematically, supporting a safe return to daily activities, work demands, and sports participation.

Our physiotherapists work in close coordination with orthopedic consultants and other medical specialists to ensure seamless care across all stages of treatment. Whether following surgery or pursuing conservative management, patients benefit from integrated care pathways that allow smooth transition from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation, ensuring consistency and continuity throughout recovery.

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.

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.

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.
