Physiotherapy in Nairobi

What happens in your first session

The first appointment is mostly listening and testing. We ask what hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what you need to get back to: whether that is lifting your child, sitting through a workday, or running again.

Then we assess properly: how the joint moves, which muscles are firing, where the pain actually originates. Referred pain is common, and the sore spot is often not the source. Knowing the difference is what stops you treating the wrong thing for months.

You leave the first session with a working diagnosis, hands-on treatment, and two or three specific exercises. Not a printed sheet of twenty.

How we treat

• Manual therapy, joint mobilisation and soft-tissue work to restore movement
• Exercise prescription, the part that makes the improvement stick
• Dry needling: for stubborn trigger points, where appropriate
• Education: what to stop doing, and for how long

Why people come to us

Nairobi traffic makes a 3pm appointment across town an hour of your day each way. We work around that: clinic sessions in Westlands for people who want the full setup, and home visits for everyone else. Recovery depends far more on doing the work consistently than on any single treatment, and consistency dies when getting there is a battle.

We also tell you when you do not need us. If four sessions have not moved the problem, something else is going on, and the honest answer is a referral rather than a tenth appointment.
