🧠 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧠

❌ Myth: β€œYou need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist.”
βœ… Fact: You can go directly to a physiotherapist without a referral! πŸ™Œ

Physios are first-line practitioners – trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions. Early access = faster recovery. Why wait?

βœ… Fact: Movement is medicine! πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ Gentle activity and targeted exercises can actually help reduce pain and speed up recovery. Complete rest can sometimes make things worse by causing stiffness and weakness. If in doubt, consult a physio!
