Physiotherapy.

A POPS physiotherapist assessing a patient's hand across the treatment plinth

Our core pillar. Treatment for athletes, post-surgical patients, and adults working through injury, chronic pain, or extended time away from movement. Care is staged: tissue healing, mobility, strength, sport- or life-specific load, and a clear handoff into independent training.

Wherever possible, you see the same clinician through your whole course of care, with dry needling and cupping used where indicated. All POPS physiotherapists are registered with the Paramedical Council of Barbados.

What this includes
  • Rehabilitation
  • Pelvic Health
  • Sports Coverage
  • Chronic Pain
  • Neurological Rehabilitation
  • Pre- & Post-Operative Rehab
  • Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy
  • Guided Exercise Programmes
  • Dry Needling
  • Cupping
Common indications
  • ACL, meniscal, and rotator cuff injuries
  • Acute and chronic back and neck pain
  • Pre- and post-operative knee, hip, and shoulder recovery
  • Pelvic floor, pre- and postnatal concerns
  • Neurological conditions affecting movement and balance
  • Tennis elbow, runner's knee, shin splints
Typical timeline

Acute soft-tissue injuries typically resolve in 2 to 6 weeks. Complex, neurological, or post-surgical rehab follows a structured progression over weeks to months.

Aquatics.

Aquatic therapy in the pool at the Aquatic Center Complex

Water reduces gravitational load on healing tissue. For patients with weight-bearing restrictions after surgery, the pool is often the first place meaningful movement is possible, weeks before the same work could be attempted on land. It also gives three-dimensional, accommodating resistance and steady pressure that helps with inflammation, circulation, and chronic pain.

Alongside one-to-one hydrotherapy, AquaAerobics and AquaNatal bring the same benefits in a small-group setting. All aquatic work is supervised.

What this includes
  • Hydrotherapy
  • AquaAerobics Classes
  • AquaNatal Classes
Common indications
  • Post-operative knee, hip, and shoulder recovery
  • Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints
  • Lumbar disc pathology and chronic back pain
  • Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes
Typical timeline

Aquatic work begins as early as clinical clearance allows. Courses commonly run 6 to 12 weeks, tapering as land tolerance improves. Classes run year-round; see Programmes for schedules and pricing.
