Our approach
How we work in this area
Orthopedic and trauma physiotherapy is for people who have been injured or had surgery and need to regain movement, strength and confidence to get back to their routine. It covers everything from the day the cast or sling comes off to the moment you can climb stairs, drive or carry weight without fear.
Treatment starts gently, respecting the healing time of bone and soft tissue, and becomes more intense as your body responds. Each phase has a different goal, and that's what prevents both the rush that leads to reinjury and the slow pace that leaves lasting problems.

Step by step
How treatment works
Initial assessment
The first session is a conversation and an exam. We get to know your complaint, your history, any imaging tests you have and what you need to get back to doing in your daily life.
Treatment plan
Based on the assessment, we put together a plan with clear goals, setting how often you'll come in and what you'll also do at home.
Supervised sessions
Every session takes place with a physiotherapist present, correcting your technique and adjusting the load according to how you respond to treatment.
Reassessment
Every so often we measure pain, strength and movement again to see whether the plan is working or needs to change.
Frequently asked questions
Questions we often hear
When can I start physiotherapy after surgery?
It depends on the procedure and on your surgeon's guidance. In many cases rehabilitation starts within the first few days, with light exercises. Bring your surgical report to the assessment and we'll adjust the plan to what was recommended.
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
In Brazil, physiotherapists can assess and treat you without a referral. Even so, if you have a medical report, prescription or imaging results, bring them along: they help us put together a more precise plan.
How many sessions will I need?
We can only tell you after the assessment, because it varies a lot with the type of injury and how long it's been since the surgery or injury. You'll leave the first session with an estimate and clear goals.
