We treat professional athletes, recreational players and post-op patients — the workup, not the diagnosis, is what changes. Our team specialises in conservative, image-guided interventions including PRP, hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid injections — used as part of a structured rehabilitation plan, not in isolation. **Patients can expect:** - 60-minute assessment with a sports medicine consultant - Objective testing: VALD force plates, ultrasound, bloodwork - Image-guided conservative interventions when indicated (PRP, HA, corticosteroids) - Written, milestone-based plan you leave with - Shared-chart integration with physio and chiro - Injury-prevention screening for return-to-sport **Conditions treated:** Acute Injuries; Overuse Injuries; Ligament and Tendon Injuries; Joint Pain and Instability; Muscle Imbalances; Concussions and Head Injuries; Performance Limitations; Post-Surgical Rehabilitation; Chronic Pain Syndromes; Tendon and Ligament Tears **Treatments offered:** — Conservative Treatments —; Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections; Hyaluronic Acid (viscosupplementation) joint injections; Corticosteroid (cortisone) injections; Hip Block (therapeutic and diagnostic); Shockwave Therapy; — Diagnostics —; Physical Assessments and Diagnostic Imaging; Ultrasound imaging for muscle tears, ligament sprains, and joint injuries; Blood tests for vitamins, minerals, and hormonal imbalances affecting performance; — Ongoing Care —; Concussion and Head Injury Management; Fatigue and Recovery Management; Wellness Screening and Health Monitoring; Primary Illness Assessment for Athletes **Q: Do I need a referral?** A: No. You can book Sports Medicine directly.

X-ray, DEXA and further imaging are available at our DISC Imaging Center next door. **Q: Is PRP or shockwave therapy covered by insurance?** A: Coverage varies by policy. We run eligibility before any procedure and provide a written quote if self-pay. Note: Sports Medicine services are exclusively available at our DHCC branch. ### Physiotherapy (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/physiotherapy) *Hands-on treatment and progressive loading to get you back to training, not just out of pain.* Our physiotherapy team works across acute injury, post-operative rehab and chronic MSK pain. Every plan is measurable, reviewed by our sports medicine consultants, and paired with VALD-guided strength progression so you leave when the numbers say you are ready, not when a session package runs out. **Patients can expect:** - 60-minute initial assessment - Manual therapy and hands-on treatment - VALD force-plate & biomechanics testing - Written, milestone-based plan - Shared-chart integration with sports medicine and chiro **Conditions treated:** — Knee —; ACL rehabilitation (pre & post-op); Meniscus tears & repairs; Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee); Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee); IT band syndrome; Osteoarthritis (conservative management); — Shoulder —; Rotator cuff tears & tendinopathies; Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis); Shoulder impingement syndrome; Post-surgical rehabilitation (rotator cuff, labrum, dislocation); Shoulder instability; — Spine —; Low back pain & disc herniation; Sciatica & nerve root pain; Cervical radiculopathy & whiplash; Postural & ergonomic-related pain; Spondylolysis / spondylolisthesis; Scoliosis (conservative management); — Foot, Ankle & Lower Limb —; Ankle sprains (all grades); Achilles tendinopathy & ruptures; Plantar fasciitis; Stress fractures; Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome); Hallux valgus & metatarsalgia; — Hip & Groin —; Hip impingement (FAI) & labral tears; Groin pain & adductor tendinopathy; Gluteal tendinopathy; Trochanteric bursitis; — Other —; Tennis & golfer's elbow; Wrist & hand injuries; Concussion rehabilitation; Running biomechanics; Pre & post-surgical rehabilitation **Treatments offered:** Manual therapy (joint mobilisation, soft tissue); Dry needling; Exercise therapy & progressive strength loading; Return-to-sport testing protocols; VALD ForceDecks & DynaMo objective testing; Shockwave therapy; Taping & bracing; Electrotherapy & laser (as indicated); Gait & running analysis; Hydrotherapy referral (where indicated) **Q: How many sessions will I need?** A: Acute injuries typically 4–8 sessions across 6–8 weeks.

Some insurers require one — the booking portal flags this before you confirm. **Q: What should I wear?** A: Athletic wear you can demonstrate symptoms in. Shorts for lower-limb, vest/tank for shoulder/neck. Changing rooms at all clinics. ### Chiropractic (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/chiropractic-and-osteopathy) *Evidence-led spinal and joint care, alongside a multidisciplinary team.* Chiropractic care at DISC focuses on spinal and joint dysfunction, headaches and posture-related pain. Every plan is fully integrated with physiotherapy, sports medicine and imaging — you get the manual therapy expertise you came for, plus the diagnostic rigour and rehabilitation follow-through of a multidisciplinary clinic, on a single shared chart. **Patients can expect:** - Thorough case history & neuromuscular exam - Imaging review (in-house when needed) - Evidence-based spinal manipulation & mobilisation - Rehab plan co-owned with physio - Clear re-assessment schedule **Conditions treated:** Low back & neck pain; Sciatica & disc-related pain; Cervicogenic & tension headaches; Postural dysfunction; Shoulder & mid-back pain; Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain; Sports-related spinal injuries; Pre & postnatal spinal care **Treatments offered:** Spinal adjustment (HVLA manipulation); Joint mobilisation; Soft tissue therapy; Dry needling; Instrument-assisted techniques (IASTM); Rehabilitation exercise prescription; Ergonomics & posture coaching **Q: Do you adjust every patient?** A: No. Manipulation is one tool. Plans are tailored; some patients never need high-velocity adjustments. **Q: Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?** A: Yes, with practitioners trained in pre/postnatal care. Pelvic-floor physio is available alongside. **Q: Will I be told I need lifetime care?** A: No. We set measurable goals and a finite plan, with discharge when they are met. ### Osteopathy (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/osteopathy) *Whole-body osteopathic care including visceral mobilization, structural and functional techniques.* Osteopathy at DISC takes a whole-body view — addressing not just spine and joints but also the soft tissues, fascia and visceral system that often underlie persistent or recurrent pain. Our practitioners are specifically trained in visceral mobilization, a gentle hands-on technique to release restrictions in the abdominal organs and surrounding fascia, often relevant for digestive issues, post-surgical adhesions and chronic low back or pelvic pain. **Patients can expect:** - Whole-body osteopathic assessment - Structural, functional and visceral evaluation - Gentle, targeted manual techniques - Plan integrated with physio and sports medicine - Clear re-assessment schedule **Conditions treated:** Chronic low back & pelvic pain; Digestive & visceral-related pain; Post-surgical scar adhesions; Tension headaches & jaw (TMJ) pain; Postural dysfunction & rib pain; Pre & postnatal musculoskeletal care; Sports-related fascial restrictions; Stress-related muscular tension **Treatments offered:** Visceral mobilization; Structural osteopathic techniques; Functional osteopathic techniques; Soft tissue & fascial release; Joint mobilisation; Cranial osteopathy (where indicated); Postural & breathing re-education **Q: What is visceral mobilization?** A: A gentle hands-on technique that addresses restrictions in the abdominal organs and their surrounding fascia. Useful for digestive complaints, post-surgical adhesions, and chronic low back or pelvic pain that has not responded to standard MSK treatment. Our team includes practitioners specifically trained in this technique. **Q: How is osteopathy different from chiropractic?** A: Both use hands-on techniques, but osteopathy takes a more whole-body approach — including soft tissues, fascia and the visceral system — and tends to use gentler mobilisation. Many patients benefit from both, depending on their presentation. **Q: Is osteopathy safe during pregnancy?** A: Yes. Pre and postnatal care is one of our specialisations, with techniques adapted to each trimester. ### Massage Therapy (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/massage-therapy) *Therapeutic and recovery-focused massage, prescribed as part of your plan.* Our massage therapists work alongside physios and chiros to support recovery, manage chronic muscular tension, and accelerate return to training. Sessions are outcome-oriented and coordinated with the rest of your care team. **Patients can expect:** - Brief intake & treatment plan - 60 or 90-minute session - Targeted to your presenting complaint - Integrated with physio / chiro notes - Home self-care guidance **Conditions treated:** Sports recovery; Muscular tension & tightness; Stress-related pain; Post-event recovery; Chronic postural strain **Treatments offered:** Deep-tissue massage; Sports & recovery massage; Myofascial release; Trigger-point therapy; Pre/post-event massage; Relaxation & stress-reduction **Q: Will insurance cover massage?** A: Therapeutic massage as part of a physio-prescribed plan is often covered. Stand-alone wellness massage is typically self-pay. The portal checks both. **Q: Can I book massage without a physio visit?** A: Yes, though we recommend starting with an assessment if you have an injury or chronic pain. ### Gait Analysis (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/Dynexus-Gait-Analysis) *Objective running and walking biomechanics — turning movement into measurable data.* Gait analysis at DISC turns movement into measurable data — video, force, and pressure — so plans target what is actually happening, not what it looks like. Ideal for runners, recurrent lower-limb injury, or anyone who feels something is off. We perform our gait assessments using the Dynexus system — an innovative, fully-integrated motion-capture, force and pressure platform that delivers objective biomechanical data in a single session, far beyond what a treadmill camera can show. **Patients can expect:** - High-speed video motion capture (Dynexus system) - Pressure-mat & force-plate analysis - Detailed biomechanics report - Direct hand-off to physio for follow-up loading plan - Optional referral to our Insoles & Orthotics service if indicated **Conditions treated:** Recurrent running injuries; Plantar fasciitis; Achilles tendinopathy; Shin splints; Knee pain (patellofemoral, ITB); Flat feet / over-pronation; Post-surgical return to running; Performance gait optimisation **Treatments offered:** Full gait assessment (video + force + pressure); Dynexus biomechanics report; Footwear guidance; Running technique coaching; Loading & progression plan; Referral to Insoles & Orthotics service when indicated **Q: What is the Dynexus system?** A: Dynexus is the innovative motion-capture and force/pressure analysis platform we use to perform gait assessments. It combines high-speed video, force plates and pressure sensors in a single integrated system, giving us objective biomechanical data far more detailed than a standard treadmill or camera assessment. **Q: Do I need orthotics after a gait analysis?** A: Often not. If biomechanics correct with technique or strength work, orthotics are unnecessary. If they are indicated, we refer you to our dedicated Insoles & Orthotics service. **Q: How long does the session take?** A: Plan for 90 minutes including walking/running capture, analysis review and a written plan. ### Insoles & Orthotics (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/insoles-orthotics) *Custom-made insoles and orthotic devices, prescribed only when biomechanics show they're needed.* Our dedicated Insoles & Orthotics service provides custom 3D-printed insoles and prescription orthotic devices. Every orthotic is biomechanics-led — built off objective data from a gait analysis, not a foam impression alone — and integrated with your physiotherapy plan. We never prescribe orthotics as a stand-alone solution: they sit alongside loading, technique and footwear changes. **Patients can expect:** - Foot, ankle and lower-limb biomechanical assessment - Pressure-mat scan and 3D foot scanning - Linked to gait analysis when indicated - Custom 3D-printed insole fabrication - Fit check and follow-up review **Conditions treated:** Plantar fasciitis; Recurrent shin splints; Patellofemoral pain syndrome; Flat feet / over-pronation; High-arched (cavus) feet; Hallux valgus / bunion; Metatarsalgia; Diabetic foot care; Leg-length discrepancy; Post-surgical foot rehabilitation **Treatments offered:** Custom 3D-printed insoles; Prescription orthotic devices; Footwear assessment & recommendation; Off-the-shelf insole fitting (when appropriate); Diabetic foot orthotics; Follow-up adjustments included **Q: Do I need a gait analysis before getting insoles?** A: For most cases yes — we want objective data to ensure the orthotic actually addresses your biomechanics. For straightforward cases (e.g. diabetic foot care), a focused assessment is sufficient. **Q: How long do the insoles take to make?** A: Typically 5–10 working days from the scan to delivery, depending on the complexity of the prescription. **Q: Are follow-up adjustments included?** A: Yes. A fit-check and any minor adjustments in the first 6 weeks are included with every custom orthotic. ### Performance Lab (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/performance-lab) *Objective performance testing and supervised training, built around the same data the elite use.* The DISC Performance Lab brings together our objective testing and training services in one place. Whether you're an athlete returning to sport, a corporate executive optimising fitness, or someone tracking long-term health markers, the Lab gives you measurable data — and a coach to act on it. Three pillars: VALD strength & power testing, full Dynexus gait analysis, and one-on-one personal training built off your numbers. **Patients can expect:** - Baseline VALD ForceDecks (jump, balance, asymmetry) and DynaMo (strength) testing - Optional Dynexus gait & biomechanics analysis - Personalised training plan in writing - One-on-one personal training sessions with a sports-trained coach - Quarterly re-tests to track progression objectively **Conditions treated:** Return-to-sport after injury or surgery; Athletic performance optimisation; Strength & power asymmetries; Biomechanics-related running injuries; Fitness level & body composition tracking; Pre-season testing for amateur and pro athletes; Executive performance & longevity-linked training **Treatments offered:** VALD ForceDecks force-plate testing; VALD DynaMo isometric strength testing; Dynexus gait & biomechanics analysis; Personal training (1-on-1, coach-led); Strength & conditioning programming; Return-to-sport testing batteries; Quarterly objective re-assessment **Q: What technology does the Performance Lab use?** A: VALD ForceDecks and DynaMo for force/strength testing, the Dynexus system for gait and biomechanics, plus full S&C equipment for the training side. Same kit used by professional sports teams and elite-performance clinics globally. **Q: Do I need to be an athlete to use it?** A: No. The Lab is open to anyone — athletes, recreational sports players, corporate clients, and longevity patients tracking long-term fitness markers. **Q: Is personal training included?** A: Personal training is offered as part of the Lab — sessions are 1-on-1 and built off your test data. Pricing is per session or as part of a package. ### Recovery Hub (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/recovery-hub) *A dedicated recovery zone — combining proven recovery modalities for athletes and busy professionals.* The DISC Recovery Hub brings together evidence-supported recovery modalities under one roof. Whether you're recovering from a hard training block, jet-lag, post-event fatigue, or simply want to stay on top of your wellness, the Hub offers structured, supervised recovery sessions — bookable individually or as packages. **Patients can expect:** - Brief intake on arrival to choose the right modality - Supervised use of cold plunge, compression and massage equipment - IV drip therapy with a licensed clinician (consultation included) - Hydration, electrolyte and post-session guidance - Combine modalities or book individual sessions **Conditions treated:** Post-training muscle soreness (DOMS); Athletic recovery between sessions or events; Jet-lag and travel fatigue; Stress and burnout recovery; Vitamin or hydration deficiencies; Immune support around busy or high-stress periods **Treatments offered:** Ice bath / cold plunge (single session or package); Compression boots therapy (Normatec-style); Recovery massage therapy; IV drip therapy (hydration, vitamins, recovery blends); Combined recovery packages **Q: What does a typical Recovery Hub session look like?** A: A 60–90 minute slot can combine compression boots, ice bath, and a short recovery massage, depending on what you book. IV drips run alongside or as a stand-alone session and are administered by a licensed clinician. **Q: Do I need a referral or assessment first?** A: No referral needed for most sessions. IV drip therapy includes a brief clinician consultation to ensure the chosen blend is appropriate. **Q: What does it cost?** A: Pricing is per session or as part of a recovery package. Contact us for current pricing — packages are usually significantly cheaper than single sessions for regular users. **Q: Is it covered by insurance?** A: Recovery Hub services are typically self-pay. We can issue receipts on request if your insurer reimburses wellness services. ### Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/family-lifestyle-longevity-medicine) *Consultant-led preventative medicine focused on healthspan — and home of our dedicated Peptide Therapy Hub.* Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine at DISC is consultant-led, deeply personalised, and built around your biomarkers — not a generic wellness checklist. Multi-hour first visits. 12-month plans. Quarterly reviews. Real follow-through. It is also the home of our new Peptide Therapy Hub — a dedicated program for evidence-supported peptide protocols (recovery, metabolic, cognitive, longevity) supervised by our consultants and integrated with bloodwork and body composition tracking. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, optimising performance, or planning a long-term healthspan strategy, this is medicine that takes the time to understand you. **Patients can expect:** - Multi-hour consultant-led intake (history, lifestyle, family medicine review) - Comprehensive bloodwork, body composition (DEXA), VO₂ max - Personalised 12-month healthspan plan with quarterly review - GLP-1 and HRT prescription where clinically appropriate, fully supervised - Access to our dedicated Peptide Therapy Hub - Shared care with our MSK and performance teams **Conditions treated:** Preventative health & long-term wellness planning; Chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia); Fatigue & energy deficiency; Hormonal imbalances (men & women); Metabolic disorders & weight management; Digestive & gut health concerns; Sleep disorders; Mental health concerns (anxiety, low mood, stress); Musculoskeletal issues (co-managed with MSK team); Cardiovascular health & risk reduction; Immune system support; Anti-aging & longevity optimisation **Treatments offered:** — Peptide Therapy Hub (NEW) —; BPC-157 / TB-500 (recovery & soft tissue); CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin (growth hormone secretagogues); Semaglutide / Tirzepatide (metabolic, supervised); Cognitive & longevity peptide protocols; — Hormone & Metabolic —; Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT); Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT); GLP-1 medications (supervised, with bloodwork & body comp tracking); Metabolic optimisation programs; — Infusions & Nutrition —; NAD+ infusions; Vitamin & mineral infusions; Nutritional & lifestyle coaching; — Diagnostics & Ongoing Care —; Bloodwork & biomarker panels; DEXA body composition; Cardiovascular risk panels; Gut health & detox programs; Anti-aging & regenerative medicine **Q: What is a longevity assessment?** A: A multi-hour intake including bloodwork, body composition, VO₂ max, biomechanics and lifestyle review, with a personalised 12-month plan. **Q: Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?** A: Yes, when clinically appropriate and supervised with bloodwork, body composition tracking and nutrition support. **Q: Tell me about the Peptide Therapy Hub.** A: Our Peptide Therapy Hub is a dedicated program within Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine focused exclusively on evidence-supported peptide protocols — recovery (BPC-157, TB-500), growth-hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin), metabolic (semaglutide, tirzepatide), and cognitive/longevity blends. Every protocol is consultant-prescribed, supervised, and tracked against bloodwork and body composition data — not pulled from a wellness menu. **Q: Is family medicine the same as longevity medicine?** A: They overlap. Family medicine handles ongoing primary care, chronic disease management and family-level health. Longevity medicine adds a deeper biomarker-led, healthspan-optimisation layer. Many of our patients use both — they share the same consultant team and chart. Note: Family, Lifestyle, and Longevity Medicine — including the Peptide Therapy Hub — is available exclusively at our JLT branch. ### Pain Psychology (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/pain-psychology) *Evidence-based psychology for chronic pain, stress and injury-related distress.* Chronic pain is rarely just mechanical. Our psychology service works alongside physio and medicine to address the mind-body components — catastrophising, fear of movement, sleep, mood — that keep pain switched on after tissues have healed. **Patients can expect:** - Confidential 60-minute initial session - Coordinated notes with your medical team (with consent) - CBT / ACT-based approaches - Mindfulness & pacing strategies - Structured, time-limited plans **Conditions treated:** Chronic pain syndromes; Fibromyalgia; Persistent post-injury pain; Fear of movement (kinesiophobia); Return-to-sport anxiety; Sleep difficulties; Stress & burnout **Treatments offered:** Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); Pain neuroscience education; Mindfulness-based stress reduction; Graded exposure for fear-avoidance **Q: Is this like seeing a therapist?** A: Similar training, but focused on pain, injury and performance. Sessions are structured and time-limited. **Q: Is it confidential from my physio?** A: Yes. We only share notes with your care team if you give explicit consent — it often helps, but it is your call. ### Women's Health (https://dubai.disc-me.com/services/women-s-health) *Specialised physiotherapy for pelvic health, pregnancy and postnatal recovery.* Our women's health physiotherapists are trained in pelvic floor, pre/postnatal care, and gynaecological rehabilitation — services that are under-provided and often shrugged off in general-practice settings. **Patients can expect:** - 60-minute initial assessment - Private, consent-led examination - Individualised pelvic floor program - Pregnancy-safe exercise prescription - Postnatal return-to-exercise plan **Conditions treated:** Pelvic floor dysfunction; Urinary incontinence; Prolapse; Pregnancy-related back & pelvic pain; Diastasis recti; Postnatal recovery; Caesarean & perineal scar care; Menopausal MSK & pelvic concerns **Treatments offered:** Internal & external pelvic floor assessment; Pelvic floor strengthening & downtraining; Biofeedback; Pregnancy-safe exercise; Diastasis rehabilitation; Scar tissue release; Return-to-running postnatal **Q: Is internal examination always needed?** A: No. It is offered, explained, and only done with your explicit consent.
