Physiotherapy in Chisinau: recovery through movement, guided by specialists
The right kind of movement is one of the most effective treatments for your joints. Physiotherapy means exercises chosen for you, learned with a specialist and adapted as you progress.
For osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis or chronic low back pain, European guidelines recommend exercise as a mandatory part of treatment. The question is not "whether" to move but "how": which exercises, how often, at what intensity, so you reduce pain without overloading the joint.
The physiotherapist assesses your mobility, strength and posture, then builds an individual programme: mobilisation, strengthening, stabilisation exercises and, when needed, gait retraining. The programme is coordinated with your rheumatologist, so movement complements your medication rather than working against it.
The physiotherapy service is launching soon at Laromed Clinic in Chisinau. Until then, your rheumatologist can recommend basic exercises and our guide to healthy joints, and when the team is complete, you will be notified.
Leave us a message if you would like to be among the first patients booked for physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy FAQ
Does physiotherapy hurt?
Exercises are done within your comfort limits. Mild muscle effort is normal; acute joint pain is not — the programme is adjusted immediately.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition: usually 10–15 sessions per cycle, with exercises continued at home.
Can I do physiotherapy during an arthritis flare?
During a flare, exercises are gentle and focused on mobilisation; intense ones resume once the inflammation settles. That is why coordination with your rheumatologist matters.
When does the service launch?
The team is being assembled. Leave your details on the contact page and we will let you know when booking opens.
