The Truth About Physiotherapy: 4 Common Myths

Myth 1: You Need a Prescription

It's a myth that seeing a physiotherapist is a long and complicated process. You can book an appointment directly and they're accessible in many places.

Getting the proper diagnosis early allows you to start treatment immediately and prevent further damage.

Myth 2: Physiotherapy is Painful

Worried that physiotherapy will be painful? Fear not - a good physiotherapist knows how to proceed without causing pain. In fact, most people seek physiotherapy because they're already in pain or discomfort and want relief.

Myth 3: Physiotherapy is Unnecessary

Treating injuries with painkillers might seem like a quick fix, but it's not sustainable. Physiotherapy is crucial for those with chronic pain, mobility loss, and injuries to prevent future problems. Don't risk chronic issues or mobility loss - address the issue at its core.

Myth 4: Only Injured People Need Physiotherapy

Think physiotherapy is only for injured people? Think again. While it's great for rehab, it's also fantastic for prehab and preventing future issues. A skilled physiotherapist can correct your technique, strengthen weak muscles, and provide guidance on exertion while staying safe.
