At Fakeeh University Hospital, our Physiotherapy Department plays a crucial role in restoring movement, improving function, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Our approach is holistic—focused not just on treating the condition but on empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery and long-term wellbeing.

What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a specialized healthcare discipline aimed at optimizing physical function through movement, manual therapy, exercise, and advanced techniques. It supports recovery after surgery or injury, alleviates chronic pain, and helps manage long-term conditions. Physiotherapists are licensed professionals trained to assess the body as a whole, rather than isolating symptoms, to provide comprehensive care.

When Should You See a Physiotherapist?

Physiotherapy benefits people of all ages with various conditions. Consider consulting a physiotherapist if you experience:

  • Musculoskeletal issues: Back, neck, shoulder, joint, and soft tissue injuries
  • Neurological conditions: Stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), or motor control disorders
  • Cardiopulmonary concerns: Post-heart attack rehabilitation, COPD, and cystic fibrosis
  • Pediatric concerns: Delayed motor development, postural abnormalities
  • Orthopedic injuries: Post-surgical rehab, sports-related injuries
