Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy help with posture and office-related pain for women?
Yes, physiotherapy can address posture-related issues such as neck, shoulder, and back pain caused by long hours of desk work or screen time. We offer ergonomic advice, corrective exercises, and posture retraining tailored for working women.
Is physiotherapy useful for women dealing with arthritis or joint stiffness?
Absolutely. Physiotherapy can improve mobility, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles around affected joints. Our programs for women with osteoarthritis or early signs of joint degeneration are designed to maintain independence and quality of life.
Do adolescent girls benefit from physiotherapy?
Yes. Growing bodies—especially during puberty—can face issues like scoliosis, sports injuries, or poor posture from heavy backpacks and prolonged sitting. Physiotherapy helps manage these changes safely and encourages healthy movement habits.
What kind of physiotherapy support is available for female athletes?
We offer injury prevention, recovery, and performance-enhancement programs tailored to the specific needs of female athletes. This includes joint stabilization, core strengthening, flexibility training, and sport-specific movement analysis.
Can physiotherapy help with balance issues or risk of falls in older women?
Yes. We conduct fall-risk assessments and provide balance training, gait correction, and strength-building exercises to enhance stability and confidence, especially for post-menopausal and elderly women.
