Q: What exercises help facial palsy?

A: Facial palsy exercises may include gentle facial movements such as eyebrow raises, gentle eye closure, smiling, lip pursing, cheek puffing, and controlled lip movements.

Q: Is physiotherapy better than surgery for slip disc?

A: For most cases of slip disc, physiotherapy is usually considered before surgery, as many patients improve with appropriate exercises, pain management, and activity modification.

At The Physio Co+, we assess each patient individually and design a personalised rehabilitation plan to help improve pain, movement, strength, and function.

Q: What causes neck pain?

A: Neck pain can have many causes, including poor posture, prolonged screen time, muscle strain, stiffness, injuries, or age-related changes in the spine. Stress and lack of movement can also contribute to neck discomfort. At The Physio Co+, we assess the underlying cause of your neck pain and provide personalised physiotherapy to improve mobility, strength, and function.

Q: Why does back pain keep coming back?

A:Back pain can keep coming back when the underlying factors are not fully addressed.

Q: Can physiotherapy prevent spine surgery?

A: In some cases, physiotherapy may help manage spinal conditions and reduce the need for surgery, especially when symptoms can be treated conservatively.

At The Physio Co+, we assess each patient individually and recommend rehabilitation based on their condition and goals.

A: Dry needling may cause a brief prick or mild discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. You may feel a small twitch or temporary soreness in the treated muscle afterward, which usually settles quickly. At The Physio Co+, dry needling is performed by trained physiotherapists after assessing whether it is appropriate for your condition.
