Q: What happens during my first Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation session?

A: Your initial 60-minute session includes a thorough physical assessment to evaluate joint mobility, muscle strength, movement patterns, and pain triggers. Your physiotherapist will explain the diagnosis, provide immediate hands-on or exercise treatment, and design a targeted recovery plan tailored to your goals.

Q: How many sessions will I need to recover?

A: Recovery timelines vary based on the severity and nature of your condition. Acute muscle strains or joint sprains may require 3–6 sessions, while complex post-surgical rehabilitation or chronic pain management may take longer. Following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will outline a clear, realistic treatment plan.

Q: How is Clinical Pilates different from regular fitness or Reformer Pilates?

A: Fitness Pilates classes focus on general conditioning and core burn. Clinical Pilates is a 1-on-1, medically tailored exercise session prescribed and directed by a Registered Physiotherapist according to your clinical presentation. Every movement is specifically adapted based on a clinical assessment to treat injuries, support pre/post-natal recovery, or manage conditions like diastasis recti and back pain.

Q: Can I claim Clinical Pilates under my medical insurance?

A: Because our Clinical Pilates is part of the Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Exercise conducted 1-on-1 by a Registered Physiotherapist following a clinical evaluation, many private insurance plans in Hong Kong cover these sessions under physiotherapy or rehabilitation benefits. Please .consult your insurance provider regarding your specific policy terms.

Q: What happens during the initial Schroth Therapy consultation, and how long are the sessions?

A: Your journey begins with a comprehensive 60-minute initial consultation where we review your medical history, measure your spinal rotation using a scoliometer, and take baseline posture photos. Following the assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you (and your parent/carer if applicable).

Subsequent exercise sessions last 45 to 60 minutes. We recommend weekly sessions at the start so you can master the 3D correction techniques and daily home exercise routine. Session frequency and difficulty are continuously adjusted based on age, curve severity, and exercise tolerance.

Q: What should I bring to my first Schroth Therapy assessment?

A: To help us perform a thorough clinical evaluation, please bring the following if available:

• Your current scoliosis brace (if you wear one)

• Custom insoles or orthotics (if applicable)

• Surgical reports (if you have undergone prior scoliosis surgery)

Q: What should I wear for my assessment and regular treatment sessions?
