Frequently asked questions
How long does a course of physiotherapy last?
For acute back pain and minor injuries a 2–4-week course is often enough; after surgery or a fracture 6–12 weeks, and after a stroke a staged programme lasting months. Much of the result depends on doing the home exercises regularly.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Properly delivered physiotherapy should not increase pain; mild strain during exercise and muscle tiredness the next day are normal. Sharp or increasing pain should be reported to the therapist immediately so the programme can be adjusted.
Does physiotherapy help a herniated disc?
Yes — the great majority of herniated discs heal without surgery, through physiotherapy and exercise. The aims are to reduce pain, strengthen the muscles that support the spine and build correct movement habits. See a doctor urgently if leg weakness increases or bladder control is affected.
When should rehabilitation start after a stroke?
As early as possible — as soon as the condition is stable, often within the first 24–48 hours in hospital. The first 3–6 months offer the greatest potential for recovery, but with the right programme progress is possible years later too. The programme includes physiotherapy, speech therapy and retraining of daily skills.
