Your first physiotherapy visit starts with a conversation. The therapist asks about your condition. They want to understand how long symptoms have lasted. You’ll describe pain levels and triggers. Everyday movements like walking or lifting might be discussed. Lifestyle and work habits also come up. This helps form a detailed clinical picture. The goal is…

I bent to pick something up. My back pulled. Hamstrings locked. Nothing dramatic—just resistance. I stood slowly. Noticed tightness in my neck. My arms moved oddly. The stiffness had arrived quietly. No injury. No trauma. Just tension stored over time. I hadn’t stretched in weeks. Maybe months. That’s when I started paying attention. Stretching didn’t…

Injury prevention begins before anything feels wrong. Physical therapy evaluates how you move every day. Not just how far you can stretch, or how much you lift. It’s about mechanics. Therapists watch your form. They correct patterns that overload certain joints. They notice imbalances others miss. Injury often starts with poor motion habits, not accidents.…

Sitting at a desk for long periods restricts normal muscle activity. Over time, tension builds in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and neck extensors. These muscles stay partially contracted when posture doesn’t change. That low-grade tension can persist for hours. Most people don’t notice it until discomfort becomes obvious. Poor ergonomics accelerate the problem. Devices…

They may look similar, but they don’t work the same way People often confuse physiotherapy with chiropractic care. Both involve hands-on treatment. Both focus on pain, movement, and the spine. But they follow different paths. Different principles. Different tools. What feels similar on the surface can be very different underneath. A chiropractor often focuses on…

It doesn’t try to erase the pain overnight Physiotherapy doesn’t promise a cure. It doesn’t silence pain with one session. It studies how you move. How you sit. How your body reacts. Then it begins, slowly. Stretching. Breathing. Shifting weight. Watching what hurts and what doesn’t. You’re asked questions no one’s asked before. About shoes.…
