Care at home: one of our services
Home-Based Physiotherapy
Alongside our wider physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, Physio-Care provides home-based physiotherapy for suitable patients who may benefit from receiving rehabilitation support at home.
Is it right for you?
Who may benefit
- People who find it difficult to travel, for example in early recovery after a stroke, fracture or surgery
- People with significant mobility difficulties
- Patients who would benefit from practising movement in their own home environment
- Families and caregivers who would like guidance on supporting a loved one at home
Whether home-based physiotherapy is suitable depends on individual needs. Some treatment is best provided at a clinic, and we will discuss the most appropriate option with you.
How it works
What to expect

With your consent, family members and caregivers can learn how to help safely.
