Your first visit
What to expect, step by step.
Most patients are in and out in under 90 minutes on day one, with a plan they can read and a clear sense of what comes next.
01
Before you arrive
The booking portal checks your insurance, confirms clinician and location, and sends a prep reminder. Bring your Emirates ID and any prior imaging or reports.
02
Arrival & intake
Arrive 10 minutes early. Our front desk handles insurance on the spot. Changing rooms are available if you need to change into athletic wear.
03
Assessment
A 60-minute consultation with the clinician: history, hands-on exam, and objective testing on VALD force plates if indicated.
04
The plan
You leave with a written, milestone-based plan — how many sessions, how often, what each session targets, and what "done" looks like.
05
Follow-up
Subsequent sessions are shorter (30–45 min). Progress is re-tested every 2–4 weeks. You have the team on WhatsApp for questions between visits.
06
Discharge
When outcomes are met, we discharge. You leave with a maintenance plan and know exactly when to come back.
What to bring
Keep it simple.
Emirates ID
Insurance card (or photo)
Any prior scans or reports
Athletic clothing
List of current medications
Payment method (self-pay only)
FAQ
Common first-visit questions.
Do I need a referral?
Not for self-pay. Some insurers may require one — the booking portal flags this before you confirm, based on your policy.
How long is the first visit?
Consultations are 60 minutes for new patients, 30–45 minutes for follow-ups. Arrive 10 minutes early for intake.
Will I get a written plan?
Yes — every patient leaves with a written, milestone-based plan. We email a copy too.
Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely. Partners, parents, translators — all welcome.
What if I need imaging?
If imaging is needed, we'll refer you to a partner imaging center in Abu Dhabi. You can also bring existing scans to your appointment.
