Mediclinic Al Mussafah is an outpatient clinic in Mussafah Commercial East 10, opposite the big mosque, that opened in 2002 to bring healthcare closer to the area's residents and workforce. Its physiotherapy service is a clinical, assessment-led department rather than a massage spa.

Treatment techniques listed by Mediclinic include manual and manipulative physiotherapy, trigger point release, muscle energy techniques, electrotherapy, personalised therapeutic exercise programmes, postural and ergonomic advice and patient education. Hands-on soft-tissue work such as trigger point release is used within that plan, so this is a practical option if you want muscular pain treated rather than a relaxation massage.

The scope of services covers musculoskeletal disorders such as bursitis, tendinopathies, chronic hip and knee problems and fibromyalgia; spinal and nerve problems including chronic neck and back ache and disc-related conditions; sprains, spasms and sports injuries; post-fracture rehabilitation; and post-operative rehabilitation after fracture fixation, arthroscopy, joint replacement and spinal surgery. Appointments can be booked online or through Mediclinic's central number. The clinic has plentiful visitor parking adjacent to the building, which is useful in Mussafah. Insurance coverage and fees depend on your plan, so check with the clinic when booking.
