What does a Physiotherapy treatment session consist of?
A treatment session is scheduled prior as per convenience and will take about 40 mins to 1hour. Specific exercises are taught to you keeping your evaluation report in mind. Soft tissue and manual treatments may be conducted by the therapist if necessary. Pain relief modalities are used if acute severe pain is bothersome or as an adjunct in sub-acute & chronic cases. An active exercise based approach with manual treatments is used much more than machines, to aid rapid natural recovery and constant re-evaluation of the problem over sessions is conducted to help fine-tune treatment strategies used. Your Physical Therapist will ensure you are educated well about what your problem is and an on-going discussion about this over sessions equips you with essential prevention tips for the long run. Your therapist will be happy to discuss your problem with your Consulting Doctor/ Orthopaedic surgeon/ Spine Surgeon as and when needed. How many sessions would you need?
