Therapists providing home visits in Bristol, North Somerset & Taunton
Therapy before and after an operation can help you get the most from your surgery. Our holistic approach can help you decide if surgery is right for you. Sometimes surgery is not the answer or the risks are too high. We can support you to make this difficult decision alongside your other healthcare professional team.
If you do choose to have a procedure, It is important that you are as fit as possible, both in terms of your cardiovascular fitness and your strength. Being prepared for your return home with the correct equipment in place, and the right advice for returning home will help you feel ready for your surgery.
Your consultant and discharge team can liaise with our therapists directly with our team to ensure person-centred care for you or your loved one. Our specialist therapists are happy to work alongside or after the NHS therapy teams.
Common surgical procedures we support people with:
– Total hip replacements
– Total knee replacements
– Cruciate ligament repair
– Spinal surgery
– Surgical repairs for broken bones
The therapist will come to your home at a time that is convenient to you.
We will start by asking you about your experience of your condition and a little about your medical history. It is important for us to know what you are hoping to get out of having therapy so that we ensure your goals are realistic and our treatment is individualised.
We assess how you move, what limits your movement and see how you manage daily activities.
