Out-Patients
Our consultation rooms are based in the hospital. Our rooms provide out -patient services to walk-ins as well as provide continuity to patients that we have treated in hospital following their discharge.
An appointment is preferable – you can book online from our website
Irrespective of the type of injury/dysfunction, our therapists will do a comprehensive assessment and establish the best way forward in aiding your recovery (including referring to a Specialist or sending you for X-rays if necessary)
Hands-on treatment is often coupled with prescribing relevant home exercises specific to your condition and level of functional ability.
Education is key! Our therapists will therefore educate you on what has gone wrong as well as how to best navigate your full recovery.
