Physiotherapy is usually well tolerated. Some temporary soreness can occur after treatment or exercise; tell your physiotherapist if anything feels too painful.

This depends on your condition. Some patients feel relief in a few sessions, while chronic cases may require a longer plan.

No, you can directly book an appointment. However, some insurance providers may require a referral.

Manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, posture correction, dry needling, ultrasound therapy, and electrotherapy may be used.

Yes. Post-operative physiotherapy is essential for restoring strength, mobility, and reducing complications.

Absolutely. From children with developmental delays to elderly patients with mobility issues, physio is beneficial across ages.

Physiotherapy may help when headaches are linked to neck and shoulder tension and posture. Severe or unusual headaches need medical assessment first.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and gives access to the area being treated.

Yes. Your therapist may give you a customized home exercise plan to support your recovery.

Hijama is a traditional wet cupping practice in which cups create suction on the skin and small superficial incisions are made. It is a complementary practice, not a cure for disease.

No, the process involves mild suction and small surface scratches. Most patients report only slight discomfort.

Patients commonly ask about Hijama for muscle tension, back and neck discomfort, physical recovery and relaxation. Evidence is limited, results vary, and it should not replace medical treatment for serious conditions.

It depends on your health goals. Some patients benefit monthly, others seasonally or once every few months.

Minor redness or light bruising can occur but usually fades within a few days. Hijama is generally safe when done by professionals.

Pregnant women, people on blood thinners or with blood clotting disorders, and those with serious health conditions should seek medical advice before Hijama.

Hijama is rooted in traditional practice. Scientific research on cupping is limited and of mixed quality, so it is best seen as a complementary option.

A light meal a few hours before is generally advised; avoid heavy meals and avoid coming on a completely empty stomach.

Typically between 30 to 45 minutes depending on the number of cupping points used.

Rest, stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals and physical exertion for a few hours. Keep cupping sites clean and dry.
