The Physio Centre Dubai
Physiotherapy
On your initial visit, our physiotherapist will listen to you, perform some tests to help give you a diagnosis, begin treatment and suggest some techniques
to help yourself at home. From there on, your assessment will be ongoing during treatment and if appropriate, we will develop a tailored exercise program
to accelerate your recovery. Our team will ensure you understand your diagnosis and keep you updated on your prognosis.
| Initial Appointment | 45-60mins |

Sports Physiotherapy
Sports physiotherapy is physiotherapy for sports people — it’s that simple. Our job is to accelerate recovery, while
allowing the patient to continue modified training so as not to lose skill and fitness.
Our techniques are the same, our advice will vary, and our exercise rehab takes the focus to prevent recurrence of your injury. Video analysis is especially beneficial for this population to assess particular sporting actions as we can identify risk factors and correct them. Sports training places repetitive stress on the body, and weaknesses or incorrect technique can expose the body to injury, be it new and acute or a chronic ‘niggle’.
| Initial Appointment | 45-60mins |

Exercise Rehab
An important aspect of recovering from an injury frequently invloves performing specific exercises to stretch, strengthen, stabilise and/or gain greater endurance.
Our physiotherapists will prescribe an appropriate program just for you which may be done within the clinic and under the guidance of our Exercise Therapist,
or at home by yourself. Our team will consult with you throughout your program, to work out an option that is best suited to your lifestyle.
| Exercise Rehab at The Physio Centre | 30mins or 60mins |
Biomechanical Analysis
Physiotherapists are trained to analyse movement. At The Physio Centre we analyse movement either with the naked eye, or with video analysis.
Movement can be as simple as bending forwards or back, or more complicated like running or a golf swing. Watching you perform these movements can give us
information about why you have your pain, why you developed your injury or how we can prevent you getting an injury. This information will guide us in your management,
as well as assist other professionals with your development eg. surgeons, coaches, trainers.
The most common biomechanical analysis we offer will be gait analysis, where we record you walking or running on our treadmill. We look predominantly at your lower limb motion and foot function, which will tell us what type of trainer is suited to you. This will allow you to go to the store and choose a shoe that is not only comfortable with great colours, but supports your particular foot.
Occupational Health
In Dubai, we sit too much. Whether you manage to fit in some exercise in between or not, the predominance of the sitting position exposes the body to certain stresses.
It may be sore backs, headaches or fuzzy hands or feet. This begins because we rely too heavily on structures not designed to take long periods of stress.
Our job as physiotherapists is to help you manage your own environment, modify your posture and movement patterns, to minimise the stress on your body.
At The Physio Centre, we offer functional workstation assessments where we look for what might cause you pain and what you need to do to prevent it, or improve it. We keep our assessments functional, so we can see how you work, as well as how you sit at work. It’s not only about your chair and computer set-up, but how you use it.
In our egonomic assessment we’ll adjust what we can, and provide a report detailing recommendations for your work station. At the same time we will educate you about what you can do to help. This may be as simple as stretching or learning to use the ergonomic chair you already have properly, to benefit you.
