Izzel Barbosa's approach to physiotherapy is multifaceted.
By mixing cutting-edge technology, evidence-based modern techniques and ancient treatment methods, he aims to achieve the best possible results with his patients. He offers individual, personalised and hands-on sessions.
Each patient is unique and so is their treatment.
The first consultation usually lasts one hour. This is to allow plenty of time to:
- ✔ Perform a full assessment
- ✔ Make a diagnosis
- ✔ Discuss a plan of action
- ✔ Provide a first treatment if required
- ✔ Provide personalised home exercises if required
The follow up session can last between thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of work needed.
Patients are usually advised on the number of sessions required to reach our goal once a full assessment is performed and a plan of action is put in place.
Follow up sessions may not be necessary as some problems are resolved after the first consultation.
Some patients like to book regular visits to ensure they keep their health in good shape.
These sessions are tailored to the patient's needs and are ideal to:
- ✔ Prevent the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders
- ✔ Prevent the deterioration of improved chronic conditions
