Q: Do I need a Doctor’s referral?
A: No. A Doctor’s referral is not required to book an appointment. However, your insurance company may require a doctor’s referral to pay for the fees, so it’s better to check with your insurance company or your benefit booklet first.

Q: How many treatment sessions are needed to see results?
A: The course and frequency of physiotherapy vary depending on the individual’s specific condition and treatment goals. Typically, the treatment plan and frequency will be determined by the physiotherapist and doctor during the initial consultation and adjusted based on progress and effectiveness. Generally, physiotherapy requires consistent sessions over a period to achieve optimal results, with the duration varying depending on the condition. For some acute illnesses or injuries, patients may experience significant improvement after a few sessions, while chronic conditions or functional impairments may necessitate long-term, ongoing therapy for ideal results. During the treatment process, patients should actively participate in self-exercise and rehabilitation training to accelerate recovery and reinforce treatment outcomes.
