Get a clear plan for your pain.
Physiotherapy for back, hip and knee pain, at home in Lagos or remotely anywhere in Nigeria.
Where does it hurt?Where does it hurt?
We help with common muscle, joint and movement problems.
Not sure what is causing it? That is fine, and it is not something you are supposed to know. Start with where it hurts and we will work out whether Fesera is the right thing for you.
Two ways to get it
Both include the same clinical assessment, the same recovery programme, and the same physiotherapist supervising it. What changes is how the assessment happens.
Hands-on examination, and we see the rooms, chairs and stairs you actually use every day.
What happens in the visitGuided examination by video, built around the space and equipment you actually have to work with.
How remote care worksYou are not signing up to anything by booking either one. Which one suits you is partly practical and partly clinical, and we will say so if the other would serve you better.
You do the recovery. Your physiotherapist guides it.
Fesera turns your physiotherapist's clinical plan into something you can follow every day, adapting within the boundaries they have set, and bringing them in when your recovery needs their attention.
Where it usually falls apart
You have taken the painkillers. Someone has massaged it. Maybe someone gave you a sheet of exercises.
You did them for four days. Then a bad week happened. You were not sure whether the ache during the third one was normal or damage. Nobody told you when to do more, or what a bad day meant. So you stopped, and waited to see if it would settle on its own.
That is not a discipline problem. Most people are simply not given enough guidance to keep going: how much to do, how it should feel, when to increase, and what to do when it goes badly.
Start where you are. Do a little more. Keep going.
There is no secret exercise. What matters is doing the right amount for where you are today, and increasing it as you can handle more.
We find your starting point
Not what you should be able to do. What you can do right now, measured and written down on the day we meet.
You work at the edge of what you can handle
Enough to challenge you, not enough to overwhelm you. You record how it went.
It goes up as you do
When your response says you are ready, the work increases. When it says you are not, it does not.
Five sit-to-stands this week. Eight next week. Then with weight. Then the stairs you have been avoiding. Nothing in that list is clever. Doing it in the right order, at the right size, without stopping, is the whole treatment.
Because the starting point is written down, you can see it move. At four weeks we check the same things again, so progress is something you can point at rather than something you have to take on faith.
How it works
Answer a few questions
About five minutes. It tells us whether this is safe to treat and where you are.
We talk on WhatsApp
Ask us anything you want to ask first. Then we pick a day and a time.
We meet
At your home if you chose in person. By video if you chose remote. Either way, this is the assessment.
Then you get going
You run the programme. Your physiotherapist can see how it is actually going, and steps in when it calls for a clinical decision.
What you walk away with
You finally understand what is happening.
Not a word you have to go and look up afterwards. An actual explanation of why this pain is here and why it keeps returning, in ordinary language, with time to ask questions.
You know what to do next, and what comes after that.
Not a sheet of exercises. A starting point that matches what you can do now, and the rule for when it goes up.
You know whether it needs medical attention.
Most back, knee and hip pain is not dangerous. Some of it needs a doctor. You will know which one you are dealing with.
You know what is yours to do.
Not a list to obey. You will understand your own body well enough to make sensible decisions about it on the days nobody is watching.
You get an honest answer about whether we can help.
Including if the answer is no.
What it costs
The assessment stands on its own. Whichever one you book, you are not signing up to anything beyond it.
If it turns out you need ongoing care, that runs in four week blocks. What is in a block depends on the pathway you started on: more hands-on sessions if you began in person, more weeks you run yourself with video review if you began remotely. You decide at the end of the assessment, not before it, and you are never committing to more than four weeks at a time.
Plenty of people need one assessment and a clear plan rather than a course of treatment.
This is probably for you if
- Your back pain has lasted more than a few weeks
- You have knee or hip arthritis, the stiff and aching kind that makes stairs, standing and walking hard
- You have had treatment before and still have the pain
- You are arranging care for a parent who finds it hard to get to a clinic
- The pain settles for a while and keeps returning
If you are booking for someone else, that is common. Answer the questions as best you can on their behalf.
When it is not us you need
Some pain needs a doctor before it needs a physiotherapist. There are warning signs that mean exercise is the wrong answer, and a few of them are serious.
The questions we ask before booking exist to catch exactly that. If your answers suggest you should see a doctor first, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
That costs us a booking. It is still the right thing to do.
The physiotherapist behind it
Alao DanielLicensed physiotherapistI am Alao Daniel, a licensed physiotherapist.
I think good treatment should leave you understanding your own body, not depending on someone else's hands.
That means I explain what I find, answer your questions, and give you a plan you can actually follow. My aim isn't to keep you coming back. It's to help you get back to living with confidence.
Fesera is built around that idea. It is the practice I founded, and every physiotherapist working under its name holds the same registration I do.
