Frequently Asked Questions
Are physios doctors?
A medical doctor can train to be a physiotherapist, however physiotherapists are not doctors. They are autonomous practitioners and can refer on to doctors, refer for scans or other such specialties if necessary. You do not need to see a doctor before attending to see a physiotherapist at Fix.
What do you wear to a physio appointment?
Wear sports wear or gym kit that you can move in. For ladies, if the area of concern is your back, neck or shoulders, please wear a sports bra as the physiotherapist will need to see your spine. For lower limb, hips, knees please wear shorts or cycling shorts so the physiotherapist can see the area clearly.
Can a physio help arthritis?
