What is manual therapy?

Manual therapy is a specialized hands-on treatment approach where physiotherapists use their hands to mobilize joints, massage soft tissues, and release muscle tension. It's one of the most effective techniques for immediate pain relief and improved mobility.

Does manual therapy hurt?

You may feel some discomfort during deep tissue work or joint mobilization, but it should not be painful. Our therapists communicate with you throughout the session and adjust pressure based on your comfort level. Most patients feel significant relief immediately after treatment.

How quickly will I feel results from manual therapy?

Many patients experience immediate relief after their first session, particularly for joint stiffness and muscle tension. For chronic conditions, you'll typically notice progressive improvement over 3-4 sessions as tissues respond to treatment.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not offer direct billing. Patients pay upfront and we provide detailed invoices and medical documentation for you to submit reimbursement claims to your insurance provider.

Where are you located?

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

Manual therapy is hands-on work. Skill and attention show up in every session. Patients consistently describe him as a talented doctor with hands that know exactly where to go, and for many of them, he is a clinician who actively listens before he treats.

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.
