Best Physiotherapist in Cox's Bazar - Book Appointment

The Jetty Planks Used to Be the Easy Part of My Day

Standing Still Was My First Exercise

On the first day he made me stand. Just stand, feet apart, then closer, and tell him when the ankle felt unsure. He watched how I shifted my weight and came down from a small step. He asked what my doctor had said about the injury. The plan he built started from that standing.

A Plank Lying on the Clinic Floor

He keeps a wooden plank in the room, low and wide, like a piece of the jetty. I walk it slowly while he guides my ankle, hands ready but rarely touching. Some days the work is turning on the plank without stepping off. When the plank feels easy, he makes the steps narrower. The boat will not wait for me.

Practice on the Sand Behind the House

Between sessions, the beach does my training. He set me a short routine on the sand behind my house, where the ground gives under each step. Bare feet, short distances, a family member nearby at first. On clinic days I report where I wobbled. He adjusts the next session from what the sand told me.

Tablets Belong to a Different Conversation

I still take the tablets my doctor gave me in the first weeks. They run exactly the way he wrote them, and the physiotherapist plays no part in them. He works on balance and strength. The tablets are my doctor's territory, and he respects that border. If one worries me, I ask my doctor.

The Day He Would Not Let Me Practise

One morning the ankle swelled again and felt hot to touch. He took one look and closed the session before it opened. That goes back to the doctor, he said, and he rang mine before I left. Some ankle problems belong to the operating side of medicine, not to exercise. Families here search the DoctorBD24 page for general surgeons in Cox's Bazar when that question comes up.

Questions I Carried to My First Session

What does the first session involve?

Standing, stepping, and a lot of watching. He checks your balance and ankle movement before setting any real work.

Can I keep working on the boats meanwhile?

I stayed on shore work at first and left the stepping across to others. He moved me back to the planks in stages, as the balance held.

Why does standing still count as exercise?

Because balance is the whole job on a moving deck. Standing steady, then turning steady, is what keeps you upright when the boat rolls.

Can the physiotherapist change my tablets if the ankle aches?

No. He never touches tablets. A worrying ache goes back to your doctor, who set them.

What happens if the ankle swells again between sessions?

Tell him at once, before any practice. He stops, checks it, and sends you back to your doctor if it needs a doctor's eye.

What sudden trouble means hospital the same day?

Weakness arriving without warning down one side of you. Being unable to hold your urine or stool. A fall that leaves an arm or a leg unmoving. Severe pain that arrives with fever, and chest pain or breathlessness. None of those wait for a session.
