Actilife Physiotherapy

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions does physiotherapy treat?
Physiotherapy treats a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgery rehabilitation, sciatica, frozen shoulder, knee pain, and chronic pain conditions.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and severity. Acute conditions may resolve in 3–5 sessions, while chronic conditions typically require 8–12 sessions for significant improvement. Your physiotherapist will provide a tailored estimate after the initial assessment.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
No, you can directly book an appointment with us without a doctor's referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. Contact us if you need assistance with documentation.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. Avoid restrictive clothing like jeans or formal wear. For lower body issues, shorts or track pants are recommended.
Does physiotherapy hurt?
Some treatments may cause mild discomfort during or after sessions, especially manual therapy or exercises targeting stiff areas. Your physiotherapist will ensure the treatment is within your tolerance level and adjust techniques as needed.
What is the cost of a physiotherapy session?
The cost depends on your specific condition, the complexity of the treatment plan, and the modalities used. Initial assessments may differ in cost from follow-up sessions. We recommend contacting us directly at +91 999 000 5909 for an exact recommendation tailored to your needs. We offer competitive rates and various payment options.
What happens during my first physiotherapy assessment?
Your first session begins with a thorough discussion of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. The physiotherapist will perform a physical examination, assess your mobility and strength, and identify the root cause of your issue. You will leave with a clear diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.
How do you create a personalised treatment plan?
Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition, goals, and lifestyle. After the initial assessment, your physiotherapist designs a program combining hands-on therapy, specific exercises, and modalities best suited to your recovery. The plan evolves as you progress.
Can physiotherapy help prevent future injuries?
Yes, prevention is a key component of physiotherapy. Through movement analysis, strength and flexibility assessments, and education on proper body mechanics, physiotherapy identifies and corrects imbalances that could lead to future injuries.
What conditions respond best to physiotherapy treatment?
Physiotherapy is highly effective for musculoskeletal conditions such as back and neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgical rehabilitation, frozen shoulder, knee and hip pain, sciatica, and work-related repetitive strain injuries. Acute injuries often respond quickly, and chronic conditions see significant improvement with consistent care.
How do I know if physiotherapy is the right treatment for me?
If you are experiencing persistent pain, limited mobility, recovering from surgery, or dealing with a sports or workplace injury, physiotherapy is likely a good fit. You can call us for a free consultation to discuss your symptoms and determine the best path forward.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a list of your current medications, any relevant medical reports or imaging (X-rays, MRI scans), your insurance card if applicable, and comfortable clothing suitable for exercise. Arriving 10 minutes early helps complete any necessary paperwork.
Can I continue exercising while undergoing physiotherapy?
In most cases, yes. Your physiotherapist will guide you on which activities are safe and which to avoid during treatment. In fact, therapeutic exercises are often a core part of the rehabilitation process and help accelerate recovery.
How do you track progress during treatment?
Progress is tracked through regular reassessments of pain levels, range of motion, strength, and functional abilities. Your physiotherapist will document improvements and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to ensure you are on track toward your goals.
