What a typical plan looks like
Many clients start with a 30-minute initial consultation or a 60-minute treatment session, then book follow-ups at weekly or fortnightly intervals depending on the condition and response. Sessions start from KES 5,500.
Self-care between visits
Reduce impact, check footwear and increase mileage gradually.
When to see a doctor first
Seek urgent medical advice for sudden severe pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness, numbness in the groin, fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or pain following significant trauma. This page is general information and not a substitute for medical advice.
