Question 1

Do I need a prescription to start?

Accepted Answer

For care reimbursed by the CNS, a medical prescription and the conditions in force are generally required. Steps may vary according to your situation. See our page The physiotherapy consultation or contact the practice for guidance.

Question 2

When should I start after surgery or a fracture?

Accepted Answer

The timing depends on the procedure, stability of repair, possible immobilisation and the surgeon's instructions. Some situations require early mobilisation, others a protection period. Do not start or modify postoperative exercises without instructions adapted to your case.

Question 3

Should rehabilitation be painful?

Accepted Answer

Work may cause a sensation of effort, stiffness or tension, but it should not cause severe or persistent pain. Tell your physiotherapist what you feel: load, range, breaks and exercises will be adjusted.

Question 4

How long does orthopaedic rehabilitation last?

Accepted Answer

Duration varies according to the joint, injury, possible surgery, your initial condition and the goals to regain. The programme is reassessed regularly; it is more useful to follow functional stages than to rely on an identical timeline for everyone.

Question 5

Should I do exercises at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when the physiotherapist has shown and adapted them for you. Home exercises complement sessions and help maintain progress, without replacing follow-up or precautions specific to your injury.

Question 6

How do I choose the specialised page for my problem?

Accepted Answer

Use the links to our sites for the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand or other joints. They complement this overview; the assessment remains essential to determine the care that suits you.

Question 7

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book online or call the Bascharage practice on +352 26 65 28 42. Remember to bring your prescription, medical reports and postoperative instructions if you have them.
