Services

Yeshodha Naidoo delivers a comprehensive spectrum of physiotherapy services that reflect her core competencies, each adapted to create the best possible patient experience:

  • Paediatric Physiotherapy
    She evaluates motor development in infants and children, designing playful interventions that boost strength, balance, and coordination. As a result, youngsters thrive in movement milestones and enjoy increased confidence.

  • Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
    After fractures, joint replacements, or ligament repairs, she guides patients through graduated exercise programs. Consequently, they regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to daily activities safely.

  • ICU & Critical-Care Recovery
    In the hospital’s high-dependency units, she implements early-mobilisation protocols to prevent muscle wasting and respiratory complications. Therefore, critically ill patients experience faster weaning from ventilators and shorter ICU stays.

  • Neurological Physiotherapy
    For stroke, spinal-cord injuries, or Parkinson’s disease, she uses evidence-based techniques—such as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and task-specific training—to restore function. Consequently, patients make measurable gains in strength and independence.

  • Home Visit Assessments
    Recognising that environment shapes recovery, she brings her expertise into patients’ homes. Moreover, she evaluates ergonomics and prescribes adaptive equipment, ensuring safe mobility and self-care routines.

  • Rehabilitation Program Design
    She crafts personalised exercise plans that incorporate manual therapy, therapeutic modalities (e.g., ultrasound, soft-tissue mobilisation), and patient education. Therefore, every plan promotes long-term resilience and prevents recurrence.

Each service unfolds within a supportive environment featuring modern equipment and collaborative care. As a result, patients benefit from both technical precision and empathetic guidance throughout their recovery journey.
