I chose to give Scandinavian Physiotherapy a try because they're very close to Dubai Media City, and they had great reviews ranging from excellent customer service to experienced physiotherapists ... Oh, boy, I wasn't disappointed!
The last thing you want when you have acute body pain, migraine and super stressed out is to worry about booking your appointment, remembering your appointment date and time, handling insurance papers and getting the right physiotherapist. The admin ladies at Scandinavian Physiotherapy have effortlessly dealt with all of the above and supported a hassle-free treatment.
I was assigned to Vera Theresa Maier, a German Physiotherapist with extensive knowledge handling crazy clients like me, who have been struggling for years, developed a restrictive range of motion and multiple pain points!!,
Vira is one of the most friendly and down-to-earth people Iāve met, and that transcends into her physio practice. Not only she was able to work on different issues/pain points that I have been facing over ten years and breakthrough it bit by bit, but also she helped me understand how to work around my injuries, stay safe and keep the great results moving forward. Thanks to her magical hands and experience, her treatment has helped me: Get rid of the migraine. I used to have at least five migraine attacks a week. Gained a new range of motion that I thought wasn't possible for me. Recovered from acute shoulder & neck pain that I honestly thought that I would have to live with forever.
Always, Vera has gone the extra mile to ask me about my nutrition, how I was feeling and talked about how I can approach stress. She took a real interest in figuring out what was triggering my migraine and back pain. The sessions were more of a talk with a friend who happens to have extensive physiotherapy experience.
The treatment included manual therapy and exercise plan. When she felt that I needed a Dr consultation, Vera didn't hesitate to refer me to a specialist to do all necessary check-ups.
Thanks to vera, Iām returning to sports and physical activities without fear of injury and pain.
However, I have one regret! I wish I have known earlier about Vera and Scandinavian Physiotherapy before!! The right physiotherapy could transform your life! A must...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWell, I normally and not regularly writing reviews but this place is supposed and expected to be one of the best if not the best clinics in the city, but this seems all over rated as it seems that their ego is misleading the way they tailor treatment approach and individualize it to their patients had a very bad experience recently with them;
I suffer from chronic Neck pain, have shared all of my MRI, discs shown in scans and progress of the condition and also how this limits my activities;
I asked to have an experienced physioherapist they decided for me is a senior therapist, all of that is okay.
The physiotherapist had been therotical advisor in initial sesion, but therapist barely listen to any previous history or other treatments modalities I tried with or without improvement, or not accepting any discussions outside the treatment modality she decided I felt okay.. physiotherapist ia senior and may know and understandeverything
Interestingly, therapist advised me not to do specific excercises saying it's early and tough at this point, we should take it easy.
It had been only few sessions till therapist decided to ask me to do a very tough excercise I felt severe upper back pain due to this excercise that she advised me to do it 30 times/day while I hardly did it in clinic twice after which pain started to become severe degree of stifeness like a knife in my back limiting my ability to do anything that lasts above 4 days while still on pain killers and analgesics to be able to just sleep, very bad experience honestly and not tailored treatment approach..
Actually I believe this is misdiagnosis of these particular muscle strength/status at this stage and jumping to heavy excercises in correlation to muscles..Thanks to listening to my body pain I even can't imagine if I tried to do it more advised to reach 30 reps, I think injury might be much untolerated
This is not the way that chronic pain should be treated.
I have been to many physiotherapy centeres who have been sequential and very gradual in their approach and even at lower rates by 20:30%, imgaine you pay the highest priced physiotherapy session and get an injury !!...this is why this place...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreKristina and the Scandinavian Physiotherapy Center deserve nothing less than a full 5-star rating for their exceptional service.
Faced with a second ACL reconstruction after a nightmare experience 15 years ago, I was very apprehensive. However, from the outset, the Scandinavian Physiotherapy Center's swift arrangement of regular appointments and professionalism eased my concerns.
Kristina, my physiotherapist, stood out with her extensive knowledge, friendliness, and above all, her personalised approach to my rehabilitation. She began by working on getting some range of motion back, muscle memory, reducing the swelling and hematomas that were inevitable after surgery. Progressively, we shifted focus to improving my range of motion, strengthening the muscles, and addressing any tight spots. This structured progression included techniques such as dry needling and "flossing," which Kristina explained in great detail, ensuring I understood each stage of my recovery and made them far less daunting than they could have been. She was able to explain exactly what was happening and why very concisely throughout the recovery, which is very important and helpful when every day the recovery throws something different at you.
One thing I really appreciated about Kristina is her realistic and transparent approach to setting goals and milestones. This, coupled with her great sense of humour, transformed what could have been another stressful ordeal into an enjoyable journey. For the first time, I looked forward to my physio sessions.
The results speak for themselves: from barely being able to bend my knee or lift my leg, and unable to walk without crutches, I now have a better range of motion than before my surgery and I am back to skiing and sports as if nothing ever happened.
For anyone in need of physiotherapy, I wholeheartedly recommend Scandinavian Physiotherapy Center and, in particular, Kristina. Her professional and personal approach to physiotherapy not only leads to successful outcomes but also makes the journey...
