The Physical Therapy Department at Thumbay Hospital Ajman, in Al Nuaimiya, was established in 2002. The hospital describes it as a large outpatient department with modern electrotherapy equipment, a well-equipped therapeutic gym and separate sections for men and women. Programmes combine physical modalities, manual therapy and tailor-made exercises, and patients receive a home exercise plan to continue between sessions. Musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation covers conservative and post-operative care, plus pre-, post- and non-operative programmes for sports injuries such as tendinitis, bursitis, sprains, strains, meniscal tears and ligament injuries. The team also treats work-related and postural pain, back and neck pain and herniated discs, with ergonomic advice. Paediatric therapy covers conditions including cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, muscular dystrophy, torticollis and brachial plexus injuries, with developmental training from infancy to adolescence. Neurological rehabilitation covers stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury and vestibular problems such as vertigo. The department also offers cardio-respiratory physiotherapy, a women's health service for pregnancy-related musculoskeletal problems and pre- and postnatal conditioning, and geriatric rehabilitation focused on preventing falls. The hospital is affiliated with Gulf Medical University, and the department trains physiotherapy students and interns. Cupping therapy is offered by a separate hospital department.
