Physiotherapy
Restore movement and function with individualized, evidence-based physiotherapy programs.
General physiotherapy in Hurghada covers the everyday problems that quietly limit people: a stiff joint after an old injury, weakness after illness, pain that keeps returning to the same place. Dr. Michael Magdy begins by identifying which structures are actually restricted and which are compensating, then builds a graded programme that restores load tolerance step by step rather than simply calming symptoms for a few days.
Inside a physiotherapy session
The first appointment lasts about 50 minutes. We take a movement history, screen joint range with a goniometer, test muscle strength segment by segment, and check how you walk, squat and reach overhead. Treatment then combines hands-on mobilisation, TECAR therapy for deeper tissue warming, and supervised exercise on the rehabilitation mats and pulley system. You leave with two or three prescribed movements, filmed on your phone so the technique stays correct at home. Follow-up sessions run around 40 minutes and always start by re-measuring what we treated last time.
When general physiotherapy is indicated
- Pain that has lasted more than two weeks without clear improvement
- Loss of range in a joint after injury, cast or immobility
- General weakness or deconditioning after illness or surgery
- Difficulty with daily tasks such as stairs, lifting or dressing
- Recurring strains in the same muscle group
What patients gain
- Objective, measured progress rather than guesswork
- Restored joint range in the specific segments tested
- Strength rebuilt in the pattern you actually use
- Confidence to return to work and daily activity
- A written home programme you can maintain independently
Session length and programme
Initial assessment 50 minutes, follow-ups 40 minutes. Most general cases are reviewed after six sessions spread over three weeks, and the plan is extended or discharged based on the reassessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a first physiotherapy appointment?
The first visit lasts about 50 minutes and is mostly assessment: movement history, joint range measured with a goniometer, strength testing and observation of walking, squatting and reaching. Treatment begins in the same visit once the findings are clear.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist in Hurghada?
No referral is required to book with us. If your examination shows signs that need medical review or imaging, we will tell you and help you arrange it.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Yes. You leave with two or three prescribed movements, filmed on your own phone so your technique stays correct, and they are reviewed and progressed at each follow-up.
