Are physiotherapists doctors?
Physiotherapists are trained healthcare professionals who assess and treat movement and pain
problems. They don’t prescribe medicines or perform surgery. Physiomy’s physiotherapists, Dr.
Mehitha and Dr. Piravin, hold an MPT (Master of Physiotherapy) qualification.
What conditions does a physiotherapist treat?
A physiotherapist treats pain, injury and movement problems, including back pain, neck and joint
pain, sports injuries, recovery after surgery and neurological conditions such as stroke. At
Physiomy, care also covers paediatric and geriatric needs, with homecare available.
Can physiotherapy help with neck and shoulder pain?
Yes. Neck and shoulder pain often comes from posture, muscle strain or joint stiffness. Treatment
may include manual therapy, mobilisation, dry needling and posture training. Dr. Piravin treats
neck pain and joint pain at Physiomy.
Which physiotherapist treats stroke and neurological conditions?
Dr. Mehitha focuses on neuro rehabilitation at Physiomy. Her care starts with a clinical
assessment, followed by a personalised, evidence-based plan to improve movement and everyday
function after a stroke or other neurological condition.
Is there a physiotherapist for children?
Yes. Dr. Mehitha also focuses on paediatric rehabilitation. Children are assessed carefully, and
the treatment plan is built around their movement, strength and development.
How do I choose the right physiotherapist?
Look for a recognised qualification such as BPT or MPT, experience in your type of problem and a
one-to-one physiotherapy assessment before treatment. A good physiotherapist explains the cause
clearly and builds a plan around your goals. Patient reviews also help.
What happens in a physiotherapy consultation?
Your physiotherapist asks about your pain, history and daily routine, then examines how you move.
You get a clear explanation of the cause and a personalised plan, and you can ask questions
before treatment begins.
Do you provide sports injury, post-surgery and neuro physiotherapy in Coimbatore?
Yes. Physiomy provides sports injury physiotherapy, post-surgery rehabilitation physiotherapy and
neuro physiotherapy treatment, including rehabilitation after a stroke.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you have had it and how your body responds. Your
physiotherapist will outline a plan after the assessment and review it as you improve, so the
number of sessions is based on your progress.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy isn’t meant to be painful, though some techniques or exercises can feel
uncomfortable while your body adjusts. Tell your physiotherapist how it feels, and the approach
can be adjusted for your comfort.
