If you are considering using insurance for physiotherapy appointments, it's helpful to check with your insurance provider about your particular insurance plan to see if physiotherapy is covered as well. If it is not covered, you may want to ask them if they do have a plan that covers it, or to explore if there are any other insurance policies that would be helpful to you at this time.
If you are trying to get pregnant, or if you are currently pregnant, holistic physiotherapy can be an important part of your support system through this process. It is important to share with our therapist about your concerns, pregnancy history, and pregnancy plan so that, together, you can develop a plan forward that is best for you.
Exercise is important for improving quality of life and longevity. However, there may be certain exercises that you should avoid if you are recovering from an injury or pain pattern. We encourage you to tell our physiotherapist about the types of exercises that you do and to discuss together any adjustments that need to be made as you go through your treatment together.
When we are experiencing physical pain and discomfort, we might be wary of having a person perform any manipulation for fear of aggravating the pain. A holistic physiotherapist looks at finding the support that allows your body to discover ease and safety so as to regain strength and capacity. While there are times that certain therapeutic interventions may be uncomfortable, the intention is to work at the edge of where the resilience lies to support healing. We encourage you to discuss your fears and concerns with our therapist to learn more about any intervention, have a better understanding of what to expect, and collaborate together on the best way forward for you.
In your first appointment with a holistic physiotherapist, the therapist will want to spend time learning more about your current difficulties as well as gather information from you about relevant events and histories that may be contributing to your present complaint. The therapist will also value providing you with knowledge and information so that, together, you can agree on your goals and the treatment plan that is suitable for you. While some treatment may begin in the first session, the most important part of a first appointment is to thoroughly assess to find the root cause of the problem so that the treatment plan is actually the most suitable approach to help you.

Dubai is a very active and vibrant city. Whether you’re a citizen experiencing the bloom of Dubai, a resident pursuing a rewarding new life, or a tourist enjoying the thrills and pleasures Dubai has to offer, one thing for certain is that, often, people in Dubai are very much on the go. And, naturally, there will be times when your body signals that you need the help of an experienced holistic physiotherapist in Dubai to recover and reset so that you can continue to enjoy the Dubai experience.
Sometimes your body might send you signals that could be a possible sign that you need to consult a holistic physiotherapist. It is important to identify these signs as soon as possible to prevent your medical condition from getting worse and to increase your sense of wellness. BMY has a team of physiotherapists in Dubai to help you relieve the symptoms of your issues. Some of the signs are mentioned below:
Although there is a natural rhythm and pace to how the body heals an injury, people often engage in overcompensating protective behavior as their body is struggling with the injury. This can impact the healing process itself, or result in the development of pain or discomfort in other parts of the body. Knowing what physio-therapeutic activities to do and how to balance rest and movement can support the efficiency and effectiveness of the healing and recovery process. A holistic physiotherapist can assess the different body systems at play and provide you with a treatment plan to better support your recovery. You can also integrate homeopathy into the treatment for natural remedies to help reduce inflammation and pain and support the healing process.
Body discomfort and pain are one of the most prevalent complaints among adults. If you're experiencing persistent discomfort in any area of your body — such as your back, neck, shoulders, legs, or ankles — it’s important to seek help. Physiotherapists specialize in treating issues related to the musculoskeletal system. A holistic physiotherapist integrates the skills and knowledge of physiotherapy with the understanding of other systems in the body, such as the craniosacral system or visceral system, that may be contributing to or causing discomfort and pain to provide a holistic approach to shifting the pain pattern and discovering greater ease and agility. This can be especially important for pain that is masked as muscular pain but may in fact be due to a different issue such as a back pain or shoulder pain that may be caused by old internal scar tissue in another part of the body, or chronic pain syndromes patterns such as TMJ, Migraines, Fibromyalgia and IBS.
Many of us were greatly satisfied with our ability to touch our toes when we were younger. Being flexible supports agility and mobility as well as protects us from injury. Yet you may be noticing that your degree of flexibility has diminished. There are great resources online that provide ideas for exercises that can be done alone to improve flexibility. However, these exercises are often generic, catered to a wider audience, and, as a result, are not the right fit for everyone. Having the opportunity to work one-on-one with a specialist who can focus on the specific limitations and growing edges of your body can increase the efficiency of these practices and reduce the possibility of injury due to over-extension or incorrect focus of an exercise.
When we’re younger, we often take our strength and mobility for granted. You may recall being able to once hoist a 25kg barbell. Maybe you finished a 1km run in under 5 minutes. Or you used to take on 5 flights of stairs and you wouldn't run out of breath. Do those seem to feel like days of the past? We often hear people say “I’m just getting old” when they notice a decrease in strength or mobility. Sure, age is playing a factor, but often the reduction has more to do with our chronic immobility and sedentary lifestyles than with our age. In other words, we often experience a significantly greater decrease in our strength or mobility due to our lifestyle than would be the case simply due to age. This can lead to or aggravate other physical and or mental health issues (such as anxiety or depression). Reintroducing exercise into your life is important. Being mindful and knowledgeable about what activities are right for you is also important to avoid injury and enjoy rediscovering your body’s capacity. Physiotherapists are skilled in the anatomy and physiology of the body, and they can assist you in regaining your vigor. They can use the results of your physical evaluation to create an exercise regimen that works for you.
It may surprise you to know that an alternative treatment option to explore for digestion issues is holistic physiotherapy. While a more common consultation is with a family or general medicine physician and gastrointestinal internal specialist, all important to rule out medical conditions, an often overlooked and valuable part of the treatment plan is consultation with a bodyworker. If you experience chronic pain and trouble digesting your food, frequent bloating or cramping, or other digestion difficulties, a consultation with a holistic physiotherapist can be valuable. Along with homeopathy treatments to support the process holistically through natural remedies, the holistic physiotherapist can assess and treat different elements that may be contributing to the problem from physical issues at the musculoskeletal level to visceral issues at the organ level.
Sleep disturbance is a serious issue experienced by many. Chronic sleep problems can impact our mental and cognitive health, leading to low mood, irritability, depression, difficulty focusing and memory struggles as well as aggravate physical issues such as impacting our immune system, decreasing our tolerance to pain, slowing down injury recovery and increasing sensitivity of syndrome patterns such as migraines and IBS patterns.
Sleep disturbance presents in different ways. For some it’s difficulty falling asleep, for others, it’s difficulty staying asleep. Still, others may experience long hours of sleep and have difficulty waking up or experience feeling fatigued throughout the day despite adequate hours of sleep. Sleep disturbance can also be aggravated by TMJ patterns. After a general checkup to rule out medical matters, a consultation with a homeopath and a holistic physiotherapist can provide important natural and alternative treatment to support a shift in this issue, reduce the impact it has on other aspects of your health and improve the overall quality of life.
While some stress is natural, chronic stress can have negative effects on the mind and body. Stress can aggravate the experience of pain (such as with lower back pain, neck pain or shoulder pain), create constriction inside the body, impact posture and lead to the development of, or aggravation of, patterns of pain syndromes (such as fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, TMJ) and mental health ailments (such as anxiety and depression). Our holistic physiotherapists in Dubai can provide treatment modalities that help release muscular tension, and stimulate the return of healthy craniosacral rhythm, parasympathetic nervous system or visceral rhythm to help reset the physiology and create greater ease and flow. Collaborating with a psychotherapist as well can help with developing the skills for reducing the persistence of stress patterns and experiencing a greater capacity for regulation.
Holistic physiotherapy takes a comprehensive approach to health and well-being, focusing on the body as a whole rather than on just treating specific symptoms. By addressing physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors, holistic physiotherapy aims to promote overall health, prevent future injuries, and improve quality of life. Here are five key benefits of holistic physiotherapy:
Holistic physiotherapy alleviates acute or chronic pain such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, TMJ, Fibromyalgia, etc. through gentle manual therapy, targeted exercises, and lifestyle adjustments. Treating the underlying causes offers lasting relief without relying on medication.
Stretching, strengthening exercises, and posture correction help enhance your body’s range of motion. This holistic approach ensures smoother, more efficient movement in daily life and provides protection from physical injury.
Techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation exercises are integrated into your treatment. These methods help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift your mood.
Every individual is unique, and holistic physiotherapy respects this by creating tailored treatment plans. Considering your lifestyle, emotional health, and specific physical needs ensures more effective and sustainable results.
Education on proper body mechanics, exercise routines, and healthy lifestyle choices empowers you to maintain your health. This proactive approach helps prevent future issues, promoting a healthier, more active life.
