Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

**Physiotherapy (or physical therapy) is a healthcare profession that helps individuals restore, maintain, and maximize their physical strength, function, and movement.** You may need it if you are suffering from acute or chronic pain, recovering from a surgery or injury (sports or accident-related), or managing a chronic condition (like arthritis, stroke, or Parkinson's). It’s not just for injury; it’s for anyone looking to improve **mobility, balance, and quality of life**.

Your first visit, the **Initial Assessment**, will involve a detailed discussion about your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and recovery goals. Your therapist will then perform a **physical examination** to assess your posture, range of motion, strength, and any painful movements. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan will be created. Please wear **comfortable, loose-fitting clothes**.

**No, you do not need a referral from a doctor** or orthopedist to see a physiotherapist at PhysioNutra Clinic. You can book a direct appointment for an initial assessment. However, if you have recent X-rays, MRI reports, or a doctor's referral, please bring them along as they help guide the assessment.

Each session at our clinic typically lasts between **45 to 60 minutes**. The total number of sessions needed varies greatly depending on the condition's severity, how long you've had it, and your body's response to treatment. After your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss a recommended **treatment timeline** with you, focusing on the shortest path to lasting recovery.

While some manual techniques or therapeutic exercises may cause **temporary discomfort** as you work to restore movement, your physiotherapist will always operate within your **pain tolerance**. Our primary goal is to **relieve pain**, not cause it. You might feel a little muscle soreness after exercise, similar to a good workout, which is normal as your body adjusts.

**Yes**, for patients who have limited mobility or prefer the convenience of treatment at home, we offer professional **Home Physiotherapy** services across **Zirakpur and the Chandigarh Tricity area**. Our therapists bring all necessary portable equipment to provide the same high-quality care you'd receive at the clinic.
