Private Physiotherapy & Pilates strives to provide personalised care to each client. During your initial physiotherapy assessment, Maria will conduct a thorough evaluation of your condition, provide a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. She will also prescribe a customised home exercise programme to facilitate pain relief and recovery.

For ongoing care, follow-up physiotherapy appointments are available to continue treatment and monitor progress. These sessions will also include a review and adjustment of the home exercise programme to ensure optimal recovery and function.

These visits are particularly beneficial for assessing mobility, balance, falls prevention, or general muscle strengthening.

To enhance accessibility and convenience, Private Physiotherapy & Pilates also offers telephone, FaceTime, or Zoom consultations for subjective assessments of complaints. These consultations allow for a comprehensive understanding of your condition and facilitate guidance and advice remotely.
