How the GESY Physiotherapy Process Works
The referral process is straightforward. The exact eligibility and number of covered visits depend on the diagnosis, referral and current GESY rules.
Choose a Physiotherapist
Once your referral is issued, you may contact a physiotherapist contracted with GESY and arrange your first visit.
Attend an Assessment
We assess your symptoms, movement, strength, balance, function and the activities that are most difficult for you.
Start Rehabilitation
Your programme is adapted to your clinical findings, stage of recovery, tolerance and functional goals.
Patient-centred care
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Our physiotherapy clinic supports adults with a range of musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, neurological and post-operative conditions. Treatment through GESY depends on the eligible diagnosis and referral.

Individual assessment
What Happens During Your First Appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms, diagnosis, medical history, current limitations and recovery goals. We then perform a clinical assessment appropriate to your condition.
The findings are explained clearly, and your physiotherapist discusses the proposed rehabilitation plan, expected progression and appropriate self-management advice.
Your assessment may include:
- Pain and symptom behaviour
- Joint range of motion
- Muscle strength and endurance
- Balance and coordination
- Walking and functional mobility
- Posture and movement patterns
- Daily, work or sport limitations
Evidence-informed rehabilitation
What Your Physiotherapy Plan May Include
Physiotherapy is a structured rehabilitation process rather than a single treatment. The exact plan depends on your assessment, diagnosis, stage of healing and personal goals.
Therapeutic Exercise
Individual exercises to improve mobility, strength, balance, endurance, coordination and functional capacity.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques may be used when clinically appropriate to support movement, reduce stiffness and complement active rehabilitation.
Movement and Gait Training
Functional practice to improve walking, transfers, stair use, balance and confidence with daily activities.
Progressive Strengthening
A gradual strengthening programme adapted to your condition, tolerance, stage of recovery and functional needs.
Education and Self-Management
Practical advice about activity, pacing, posture, home exercise, recovery expectations and reducing recurrence.
Supportive Modalities
Where appropriate, selected physiotherapy technologies or techniques may support the wider active rehabilitation programme.
Safe progression after surgery
Post-Operative Physiotherapy in Nicosia
Physiotherapy may be recommended after surgery to help restore mobility, strength, balance, walking ability and independence. The programme is guided by the surgical procedure, your surgeon’s instructions, medical history and stage of recovery.
Rehabilitation progresses according to tissue healing, symptoms, functional milestones and your response to treatment.
We commonly support recovery after:
- Total knee or hip replacement
- ACL reconstruction and knee procedures
- Shoulder surgery and rotator cuff repair
- Spinal surgery
- Fracture fixation or immobilisation
- Other orthopaedic procedures
