The Department of Physiotherapy at Phoenix Specialty Hospital in Mussafah (Shabiya 10) is a hospital-based rehabilitation service rather than a spa. It suits people who want massage-style hands-on treatment as part of a medical plan, for example after an injury or surgery, or for persistent neck and back pain.

The department's physiotherapists focus on injury diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, combining hands-on soft-tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, correction of muscle imbalances and functional training. Manual therapy, myofascial release and neural tissue mobilisation are part of the scope of care, alongside kinesio taping, posture and ergonomic advice, and balance and proprioception training. Electrotherapy options listed include ultrasound, interferential therapy, TENS, hot packs, cryotherapy, contrast baths and short-wave diathermy, and there are cervical and lumbar traction units.

The department covers a wide range of patients: musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, paediatric and geriatric physiotherapy, women's health physiotherapy, sports rehabilitation and pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, with special therapy clinics for neck and back pain. It works alongside the hospital's orthopaedic and radiology departments. The hospital lists outpatient physiotherapy hours of 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week, though individual therapist schedules vary.
