How we work
Every plan is different. Most combine the following.
Assessment
At the first visit we check how you move, your strength and the painful area, to find where the problem comes from.
Hands-on treatment
Joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques to ease pain and help you move more freely.
Exercise therapy
Strength, mobility and balance exercises, matched to the problem and to your pace.
Physiotherapy equipment
We use modern equipment where it helps. It supports exercise; it does not replace it.
Home exercises
You leave with a few simple exercises and clear instructions, so you keep improving between sessions.
Advice for daily life
How to sit, how to lift and how to get back to work or sport step by step.
How treatment goes
First visit
We talk, examine and explain the problem. Treatment usually starts the same day.
Treatment plan
We agree on goals, roughly how many sessions you need and how often.
Sessions
Every session is one-to-one. We check your progress and adjust the plan when needed.
Finishing
The aim is for you to carry on by yourself, with an exercise routine you know how to do.
With GeSY or private
We are a GeSY provider. With a referral from your personal doctor or a specialist, you pay €10 per visit. Private appointments need no referral.
Common questions
Do I need a referral for physiotherapy?
Not for a private appointment. For GeSY to cover your visits, you need a referral from your personal doctor or a specialist.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem and how long you have had it. After the first assessment we give you an estimate and review it as we go.
Will treatment hurt?
Some exercises or techniques can feel uncomfortable, but we do not push through strong pain. Tell us how it feels and we adjust.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes that leave the painful area free, for example shorts for a knee problem or a vest top for a shoulder.
