Can physiotherapy help knee osteoarthritis?

Yes. Physiotherapy can improve strength, movement tolerance, balance, walking, and day-to-day function. It does not reverse arthritis, but it can help many people move with more confidence.

Should I stop walking if my knee hurts?

Not usually. Walking volume may need adjustment, but complete avoidance often reduces capacity. We help find the amount your knee tolerates and build from there.

Do you treat knee chondromalacia?

Yes. We assess anterior knee pain and chondromalacia-type symptoms, then work on hip, quadriceps, calf, foot, and load factors that influence the knee.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Mina Gamil

Across many of our services, this is what patients tell us about Dr. Mina Gamil. Patients consistently describe him as someone who genuinely cares for his patients, and for many of them, he is a doctor who educates generously.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.

1
You pay your session at the clinic, with flexible options including Tabby installments, Ziina, and standard cards.
2
We hand you the detailed invoice and the medical report your insurer needs, the same day.
3
You submit for reimbursement to your insurer. We are happy to talk you through what to send.

Tip: a quick call to your insurer before your first visit confirms your physiotherapy coverage and avoids surprises later.
