I’ve had Physiotherapy in the past and was often hooked up to electrical machines and had minimal hands-on treatment. Is this the type of treatment that you provide at Dr Vigils Physiotherapy?

Posted by Dr. Vigil Kavanal on June 7, 2018

Though there is a time and place for machines (physical modalities) such as TENS, Ultrasound and muscle stimulation, our treatment approach is primarily hands-on. Manual therapy helps create more of a physical change to the injured structures and correcting poor movement patterns. On top of manual therapy techniques and rehabilitative exercises, we also provide significant education to our patients so that they understand their problem and recognize how the appropriate treatment plan will benefit their recovery. Other treatment options such as the Graston Technique & Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, Dry Needling have also been used very effectively in our practice. You will be impressed with our level of customer service and personalized approach to treatment.

How long do sessions last and will I only see a physiotherapist?

Posted by Dr. Vigil Kavanal on June 7, 2018

We are different from most physiotherapy providers. Our physiotherapist will go over your health history, complete a thorough assessment to pin point the source of the problem, educate you on your condition and provide you with a plan of action. Most follow-up sessions are 30 minutes in length, again with the physiotherapist only.

Do I need a referral to see a Physiotherapist?

Posted by Dr. Vigil Kavanal on June 7, 2018

Legislation has been in place across India eliminating the need for patients to obtain a doctor’s referral and allowing direct access to physiotherapy. This means that you can walk up and get physiotherapy without having to see your doctor. There is no need to wait any longer, contact us today so that we can return you to the activities you love doing!

There are some very good physio therapists. They take care of their patients and aid in their recovery from illness. I only gave them a four-star rating because I was dissatisfied with the size of the clinic, the level of congestion, and the outdated nature of the beds and clinic.
If not, they deserve 5 stars

I went for foot therapy and was very impressed with the knowledge of my therapist and all the instruments they have , the only thing I would recommend is if they can start early by an hour to allow for working people to come to the clinic
