Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation at Home in Dubai

Musculoskeletal rehabilitation is a branch of physiotherapy that concentrates exclusively on ailments impacting the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. General physiotherapy can help with a wide range of problems, such as neurological and respiratory issues. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, however, uses special methods to identify issues with joints and muscles, advanced hands-on techniques to treat problems with soft tissues and joints, understanding of how the body moves, specific knowledge about bone and joint conditions and their development, and tailored exercise plans for musculoskeletal issues. Our physiotherapists at Vesta Care have a lot of training and experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This means that you will get expert care for your specific condition, whether it is back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, or recovery from surgery.

Yes, physiotherapy is a fantastic way to deal with arthritis pain and keep your joints working. We can't cure arthritis, but our specialized treatment can help a lot. It can reduce pain and stiffness, make joints more flexible and able to move more freely, strengthen the muscles around affected joints to give them better support, teach people how to protect their joints, slow down the progression of functional decline, and make people less dependent on pain medications. We use gentle manual therapy, exercises that are right for your type and severity of arthritis, techniques to change how you feel pain, and education on how to change your activities. Many people with arthritis see big improvements in their quality of life when they get regular physiotherapy. Because home treatment is so easy, you're more likely to keep up with your sessions, which is important for managing long-term conditions like arthritis.

Your first session, which usually lasts 60 minutes, includes a full assessment, setting baseline measurements, and starting the first treatment. In the following sessions (which usually last 45 to 60 minutes), you'll usually talk briefly about your progress and any changes since the last visit. You'll also do hands-on manual therapy techniques like joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and muscle release, as well as guided therapeutic exercises with proper form and progression. You'll also learn about your condition, how to care for yourself, get updates on your home exercise program, and plan for the next session. Our physiotherapists bring all the equipment they need and change each session based on how you're feeling that day and how much pain you're in.

You don't need a doctor's referral to start physiotherapy in Dubai, but if you have severe pain, symptoms that point to a serious condition (like sudden weakness or loss of bowel or bladder control), a lot of trauma or injury, or pain that doesn't have a clear cause, we suggest that you get a medical evaluation first. If you've already seen a doctor and have imaging results or medical reports, bringing these to your first appointment will help us come up with the best treatment plan. If you have common musculoskeletal problems like chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or arthritis, our physiotherapists can start assessing and treating you right away. If we find any concerning signs that need medical attention, we will send you to a doctor.

The length of time it takes to get better depends on several things, such as the type and severity of your condition, how long you've had it (chronic conditions usually take longer), your age and overall health, how dedicated you are to the home exercise program, and whether your condition is degenerative or acute. Acute musculoskeletal injuries may become better in 4 to 8 weeks. Chronic conditions like arthritis need to be managed for several months. Post-surgical rehabilitation usually lasts 8 to 16 weeks. Degenerative conditions may benefit from long-term maintenance therapy. During your first assessment, we set realistic expectations for your timeline and keep track of your progress objectively throughout treatment.

Yes, for sure. Research shows over and over that physiotherapy is one of the best ways to treat chronic back pain. Therapy at home can be just as good or even better than going to the clinic.

Our full home rehabilitation program helps many people who have had back pain for years feel much better. The best part of treating you at home is that we can address the real things that worsen your pain.
