Physiotherapy at Home 

People often think of physiotherapy as something you can only get in a clinic. But did you know you can also have physiotherapy at home? In fact, for many conditions, it can actually help you to get a better outcome from your treatment. 

Who is home visit physiotherapy for? 

The short answer is, everyone! 

Most physiotherapy assessments and treatments can be carried out in your home. This is of great benefit to people with mobility issues that may make it difficult to get to clinic, or for those whose may have caring responsibilities that mean it is easier for them to stay at home. 

What are the benefits of being assessed at home? 

Aside from being more convenient, being assessed in your own environment can help us better understand the issues your having, and help us to problem solve together. Some issues we can help with around the home are: 

• Managing the stairs 
• How to safely access your property 

• Making it easier to get out of a chair 
• Carrying out day to day tasks, such as cooking 
• Getting in and out of bed 

Home Safety
