Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, an operation, or a long-standing problem that limits how you move, good physiotherapy can make the difference between managing and truly getting better. At Yuan Qi Acupuncture Center in Business Bay, our physiotherapy is hands-on and practical, focused on finding what is actually causing your pain or restriction and helping you rebuild strength, movement and confidence. Our physiotherapist, Dr. SuryaLakshmi, works with each person individually to build a plan around their goals.
Rather than only easing pain in the moment, physiotherapy looks at how you move, where you are weak or stiff, and what may be driving the problem, then works to address it. By assessing your movement, posture and strength, we aim to treat the cause, not just the symptom, so you get lasting improvement and a lower chance of the problem returning.

Physiotherapy at the clinic combines hands-on treatment with guided exercise, tailored to your condition. After a thorough assessment, your plan may include manual therapy to ease stiff joints and tight muscles, targeted stretching to restore flexibility, and a progressive strengthening programme to rebuild stability and support. Just as importantly, we teach you how to move well and look after the area yourself, so the gains hold once your course is finished.
Where it helps, we may combine physiotherapy with complementary therapies offered at the clinic, such as medical acupuncture, dry needling or cupping, to ease muscle tension and support recovery. Dr. SuryaLakshmi is certified in clinical dry needling, which can be a useful part of treatment for stubborn muscular pain and trigger points.
Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of musculoskeletal and movement problems. At the clinic we regularly help with:
See also shoulder pain, arthritis and joint pain, and pain after surgery.
One of the advantages of having physiotherapy here is that it sits alongside our Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments under one roof. For many people, the combination of hands-on physiotherapy with acupuncture or cupping gives well-rounded support for recovery: physiotherapy rebuilds strength and movement, while the complementary therapies help ease pain and tension along the way.
Every plan is built around you and your goals, whether that is returning to sport, getting back to work comfortably, or simply moving through daily life without pain. We keep our advice practical and realistic, and we focus on giving you the tools to stay well, not just feel better for a day.
Musculoskeletal pain and recovery cover a lot of ground, and we treat several specific areas on their own pages. If your main concern is one of these, those pages are the best place to start:
Your first visit begins with a detailed assessment. We ask about your problem, how it started, what makes it better or worse, your activity and your goals, and we assess how you move, your posture, strength and range of movement. This tells us what is driving the problem and lets us build a treatment plan suited to you. We then begin treatment and explain the plan and what to expect.
Physiotherapy is active, so as well as hands-on treatment in the clinic, you will usually be given a few simple exercises to do at home, which make a real difference to how quickly you progress. We explain everything clearly, adjust the plan as you improve, and give you a realistic idea of how many sessions your recovery is likely to need.
I visited for spinal treatment and I'm extremely satisfied. The massage and cupping really helped my back pain — the therapists are skilled, knowledgeable and gentle.

Physiotherapy is a hands-on, movement-based form of treatment that helps with pain, injury and mobility. It combines manual therapy and guided exercise to restore strength and movement, and aims to treat the cause of a problem rather than just easing the symptom.
