What is musculoskeletal physiotherapy?

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons, with the goal of reducing pain and restoring normal movement and function.

How many physiotherapy sessions are usually required?

The number of sessions varies based on the condition, its severity, and individual recovery response. During the initial consultation, Jeena will provide an estimated treatment timeline based on assessment findings.

Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

In most cases, patients can book a physiotherapy consultation directly at RamaCare Polyclinic without a prior referral. If you have a specific medical concern, our team can advise whether a referral is recommended.

Is physiotherapy painful?

Physiotherapy is generally not painful, though some techniques may cause mild, temporary discomfort, especially when working with an already sensitive or injured area. Jeena adjusts treatment intensity to each patient's comfort level.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended, ideally clothing that allows easy access to the area being assessed or treated (for example, shorts for a knee evaluation).

Can physiotherapy help avoid surgery?

In many cases, physiotherapy can reduce pain and improve function enough to avoid or delay surgical intervention. However, this depends on the specific condition, and any decision should be made in consultation with your treating physiotherapist or physician.

Professional Biography

About Jeena Mathew

Jeena holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) and a Master of Physiotherapy (MPT), and she practices under a valid Dubai Health Authority license, a requirement that reflects rigorous clinical competency standards. Her focus is musculoskeletal physiotherapy, an area of practice centered on the muscles, joints, ligaments, and connective tissues that allow the body to move without pain.

Patients across Dubai choose Jeena because she doesn't rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Every treatment plan she designs starts with a thorough assessment, is guided by current physiotherapy services evidence, and is adjusted as recovery progresses. Whether the goal is relieving chronic back pain, recovering after surgery (see our specialized post-surgical rehabilitation), or getting back to sport after a sports injury, her approach centers on restoring function, not just masking symptoms.

Jeena Mathew's path into physiotherapy began with a strong academic foundation. She completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), which gave her a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation science, before going on to complete a Master of Physiotherapy (MPT), where she deepened her clinical expertise in musculoskeletal assessment and advanced treatment techniques.

Over the following eight-plus years, she has worked directly with patients presenting a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from everyday postural strain to complex post-surgical rehabilitation. This clinical experience has shaped a treatment philosophy built on two core principles: care must be evidence-based, and care must be personal.

Jeena believes that physiotherapy works best when patients understand what is happening in their bodies and why a particular exercise or technique is being used. She takes time during consultations to explain findings in plain language, set realistic recovery goals, and involve patients actively in their own rehabilitation. This educational, collaborative style is a large part of why so many patients at RamaCare Polyclinic return to her for ongoing musculoskeletal care and refer friends and family members experiencing similar pain.

Her commitment to continuing professional development means her treatment methods reflect current physiotherapy research rather than outdated protocols, giving patients confidence that they are receiving modern, effective care.

Areas of Expertise

Jeena Mathew treats a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. Below is an overview of the areas she specializes in, along with what patients can typically expect.

Back Pain

Back pain can stem from poor posture, muscle strain, disc issues, or prolonged sitting. Jeena assesses the underlying cause rather than treating pain in isolation, using manual therapy and targeted strengthening to restore stability and reduce recurrence.

Neck Pain

Often linked to desk work, screen time, or poor sleeping posture, neck pain responds well to a combination of manual therapy, postural correction, and mobility exercises designed to relieve tension in the cervical spine.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can result from overuse, injury, or degenerative changes in the joint. Treatment typically focuses on restoring range of motion, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the surrounding musculature.

Knee Pain

Whether caused by injury, overuse, or wear and tear, knee pain is addressed through a combination of strengthening, mobility work, and gait correction to reduce strain on the joint.

Hip Pain

Hip discomfort often affects walking and daily mobility. Jeena's approach focuses on identifying whether the source is muscular, joint-related, or postural, then building a plan to restore pain-free movement.

Sports Injuries

Athletes and active individuals benefit from sports injury rehabilitation protocols designed to safely restore strength and flexibility while minimizing the risk of re-injury upon return to activity.

Arthritis

For patients managing joint inflammation and stiffness, physiotherapy focuses on maintaining mobility, reducing pain, and preserving long-term joint function through gentle, structured exercise.

Sciatica

Sciatic nerve pain radiating through the lower back and leg is managed through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and posture correction aimed at reducing nerve compression.

Frozen Shoulder

This condition, marked by stiffness and restricted shoulder movement, is treated with a gradual, structured mobility program designed to restore range of motion over time.

Plantar Fasciitis

Heel and foot pain from plantar fasciitis is addressed through stretching protocols, manual therapy, and guidance on footwear and load management.

Tendinitis

Inflammation of tendons from repetitive strain is managed with a combination of rest, therapeutic exercise, and gradual reloading to support healthy tendon healing.

Muscle Strains and Ligament Injuries

These common soft-tissue injuries are treated with a structured recovery plan that progresses from pain management to strengthening, helping prevent long-term instability.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Following orthopedic or joint surgery, Jeena works closely with patients to support post-surgical rehabilitation, safely rebuild strength, restore mobility, and support a full recovery.

Workplace Injuries

Musculoskeletal injuries related to repetitive tasks or poor ergonomics are treated alongside practical advice on workplace posture and movement habits.

Chronic Pain Management

For patients living with long-term musculoskeletal pain, the focus shifts to sustainable, functional strategies that improve quality of life and daily mobility.

Mobility Restoration & Functional Rehabilitation

Across all conditions, the underlying goal is the same: helping patients move confidently and independently in daily life.
