Physiotherapy isn’t just about exercises—it’s a structured process designed to ensure the best recovery outcomes. Here’s how we move step by step:

1️⃣ Consultation with your patient – understanding concerns and goals.
2️⃣ Diagnosis & treatment plan – creating a personalized roadmap.
3️⃣ Therapeutic interventions – applying hands-on and evidence-based techniques.
4️⃣ Precautions & ergonomic advice – preventing further issues and promoting healthy habits.
5️⃣ Exercise prescription – building strength, mobility, and long-term recovery.

💡 At PhysioNeeds Academy, we emphasize a systematic approach to rehabilitation—because every step matters!

BACK AND NECK ACHES.

The number of physiotherapy sessions for a back injury varies widely, but generally ranges from 4 to 12 sessions. Factors like the severity and type of back pain, the underlying cause, and individual recovery goals all influence the required duration. Some individuals may experience relief after just a few sessions, while others with chronic or severe conditions may need more extensive treatment, potentially including ongoing maintenance sessions.

Ankles and Knees Under Pressure

🏉 Ankles and knees take a pounding on the pitch. Prevent sprains and ligament injuries with balance and agility work.
Try this 3-drill combo:
• Wobble board or BOSU ball standing for 2 minutes each leg
• Single-leg hops in a cross pattern (4-way hop)
• Lateral shuttle runs with quick changes in direction
Repeat 2–3 times a week as part of warm-ups or conditioning.

So true. Wrong shoes and not walking barefoot can be reasons for a stiff big toe.

Big toe mobility is a BIG deal

Most health and fitness professionals overlook the importance of proper foot and toe function. Yet, these areas—hidden away in our shoes—play a crucial role in our overall movement and well-being.

Think about it: our feet are as intricate and vital as our hands, yet we often confine them to rigid, sensory-deprived environments—similar to wearing mittens on our hands all day. Is it any wonder then that foot dysfunction is so common?

Take the big toe, for instance. It’s the driver of our foot’s mechanics, yet it often doesn’t receive the extension stress it needs due to our footwear choices. This can contribute to issues like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and anterior hip pain.

If you are experiencing these problems, consider the role of the big toe in their condition. Let’s take a step toward healthier, happier feet!

The illustration simply highlights the ideal range of motion, although the range of motion in the top, is hard to reach, it should be a good guideline and something we ALL had from childhood 😊

45° and above is an ideal range of motion in our toes, anything under this should have daily mobility drills applied to improve range of motion.
