Question 1

Do I need a doctor's referral for home physio in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

No referral is required for most cases. For post-surgical or neurological rehab, we ask for the surgical or hospital report so the physiotherapist can read the plan before the first visit.

Question 2

Will it be the same physiotherapist every visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where scheduling allows. Continuity is the single biggest predictor of rehab outcomes, so we hold the same physio on a case from assessment through discharge.

Question 3

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most courses sit between 4 and 16 sessions. Mechanical back pain usually settles in 4 to 8 sessions; a knee replacement runs 8 to 16 sessions over 6 to 12 weeks.

Question 4

What equipment does a home physio bring?

Accepted Answer

Goniometer, therabands, kinesio tape, a portable plinth roll, and a TENS unit where indicated. Gym-grade resistance machines and hydrotherapy stay in a clinic.

Question 5

Is home physio safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when delivered by a DPT, MSc Speech Therapy, German-certified Lymphedema Physiotherapist, DHA & MOH licensed with women's-health training. Sessions are trimester-appropriate and pelvic-floor focused.

Question 6

How soon can a physio come to my home?

Accepted Answer

Same-day visits are usually available across Dubai. The coordinator will quote an arrival window when you book.
