Home-Based Physiotherapy: What Patients Should Know

Home-based physiotherapy means receiving physiotherapy in your own home rather than travelling to a clinic. At Physio-Care, it is one of several ways we provide rehabilitation, alongside our other services.

Who may benefit

• People who find travelling difficult, for example soon after a stroke, fracture or surgery
• People with significant mobility difficulties
• Patients who would benefit from practising movement in their own environment
• Families and caregivers who want 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.

Preparing for a home visit

• Clear a space where you can move safely
• Have relevant medical reports and medication lists ready
• Wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear
• Let us know about access details, such as stairs or directions to your home
• If possible, have a family member or caregiver present
