Question 1

Absolutely. Our physiotherapists bring portable equipment and design exercise programs that work in your home. In-home rehab is effective for ACL recovery, rotator cuff injuries, ankle sprains, and more.

Question 2

What sports injuries do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We treat sprains, strains, tendonitis, ligament tears (ACL/MCL), rotator cuff injuries, tennis/golfer's elbow, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and post-surgical sports injuries. Our goal is to get you back to your sport safely.

Question 3

How soon after a sports injury should I start physiotherapy?

Generally, the sooner the better. For most injuries, physiotherapy can begin within 24-72 hours. Early intervention reduces swelling, prevents stiffness, and accelerates recovery. Your physiotherapist will assess readiness at the first visit.
