OUR HOME PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES



Our aim while treating you at home is simple: that you tire as little as possible and recover as quickly as possible. After the free first assessment we build the treatment plan around your own goals and carry it out for maximum benefit.



Neurological Rehabilitation



Neurological rehabilitation is the longest part of the process, and the part where patience pays off most. Treatment is started early, using electrical stimulation, acupuncture and taping as supporting methods alongside exercise, so the programme is as effective as possible. For patients who cannot carry out daily activities on their own, the goal is to return them to those activities — toilet, bath, eating, dressing — and to independence. Results come faster in patients who start sooner.


Conditions treated:

  • Stroke (cerebrovascular disease)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Facial (Bell's) palsy
  • Lumbar and cervical disc herniation
  • Peripheral nerve injury
  • Brachial plexus injury
  • Epilepsy and polyneuropathy


Orthopaedic Rehabilitation



Fractures, impingement syndrome and hip replacement are among the most common problems in physiotherapy. In orthopaedic cases the aim is to return the patient to their previous level of function completely, so the treatment runs to a shorter timetable than other rehabilitation programmes. Our physiotherapists use soft tissue mobilisation, manual therapy, kinesiology taping, strengthening and stretching to run that programme at home.


Conditions treated:

  • Fractures
  • Sports injuries
  • Before and after hip, knee and shoulder replacement
  • Before and after cruciate ligament surgery
  • Meniscus injury
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Impingement syndrome
  • After muscle, tendon and nerve repair
  • Orthotics and prosthetics
  • Fibromyalgia and arthritis (RA, AS, OA)


Paediatric Rehabilitation



For conditions present from birth or acquired later, such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida, the great advantage of home physiotherapy is that children are treated in their own surroundings, among things that are familiar to them. Our paediatric physiotherapists work through play rather than treatment as a task, which is the most effective route with a child. That approach keeps shyness and fear — the things that slow treatment down — to a minimum.


Conditions treated:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Spina bifida
  • Down syndrome
  • Muscular dystrophies
  • Delay in normal motor development
  • Brachial plexus injury
  • Torticollis
  • Genetic Rett syndrome
  • MPS types
  • Canavan disease


Geriatric Rehabilitation



Geriatrics is the science of ageing. Home physiotherapy is needed for the bone loss, fractures after a fall, joint fluid loss and general weakness that come with age. The aim of geriatric rehabilitation is not only to return patients to their previous health but to prevent the illness, falls and weakness that healthy older people may face. In older patients the central goal is to increase the physical capacity the patient already has and to let them carry out daily activities independently.


Conditions treated:

  • Osteoporosis
  • Age-related decline
  • Hip fracture
  • After joint replacement surgery
  • Home safety training


Respiratory Rehabilitation



Respiratory problems can develop secondary to another illness, or appear with conditions such as COPD, asthma and lung cancer. Patients with breathing problems find stairs and walking affect their daily life. The aim of the home programme is to let patients who have lost respiratory capacity carry out their daily activities without difficulty, using breathing exercises and equipment such as an incentive spirometer.


Conditions treated:

  • COPD after chemotherapy
  • Asthma
  • Recovery after Covid-19


Vascular Rehabilitation



Vascular rehabilitation covers conditions such as lymphoedema and lymphatic cancer. For patients with a lymphatic drainage problem, the home programme aims to relieve the pain and heaviness in the limbs. Our physiotherapists specialised in lymphoedema use manual lymphatic drainage and compression techniques to treat it without surgery.


Conditions treated:

  • Lymphoedema
  • Gout

Process

How treatment progresses

Whichever area of rehabilitation you need, the process runs through the same five steps. We set the goal together with the patient and the family, and we follow progress by measuring it.

  1. I. START

    Free first assessment

    Your physiotherapist comes to your home and assesses both the patient and the setting. Which movements are difficult, and which parts of the home need adjusting, are seen on the spot.

  2. II. PLANNING

    Setting goals

    We talk through what matters most to the patient and the family. Concrete goals — “to reach the bathroom unaided”, “to walk indoors with a stick” — are agreed, and the programme is built around them.

  3. III. TREATMENT

    Running the programme

    Sessions continue at the planned frequency. What is done in each session, and the measurements taken, are recorded so progress can be followed.

  4. IV. REVIEW

    Reassessment

    Measurements are repeated at set intervals. The programme is updated according to where the patient has got to, and goals are reset if needed.

  5. V. CONTINUITY

    Moving to a home programme

    Once the goals are reached, sessions become less frequent. The patient and family are taught enough to carry the programme on themselves.

A session

What happens in a session?

A session usually lasts an hour and has four parts.

i.

Warm-up and joint movement

The session begins by preparing the muscles and joints. For bed-bound patients this part is done in bed, with positioning and passive movement.

ii.

Work towards the goal

Strengthening, balance or gait work. Which of these is done is decided by the goals set at the first assessment.

iii.

Supporting methods

Where useful, electrotherapy, manual therapy, kinesiology taping or dry needling is added to the programme.

iv.

Cool-down and home exercises

The session ends with cool-down movements and a reminder of the exercises to be done on the days in between.

Equipment

What does the physiotherapist bring?

So that treatment at home lacks nothing compared with a clinic, everything needed comes with the physiotherapist: a portable electrotherapy unit, hot and cold packs, resistance bands, small weights, balance equipment and, where required, kinesiology tape and sterile needles. There is no device for you to buy or hire.

Important

When is home treatment not appropriate?

Patients who need continuous medical supervision or intensive-care level monitoring, and programmes that require clinical equipment such as hydrotherapy pools or robotic gait systems, cannot be treated at home. If the assessment shows that this is what is needed, we say so plainly and refer the patient to a suitable centre. Home treatment is not recommended to everyone — only to patients it suits.

Frequently asked

What patients ask most

Who carries out the treatment?

Sessions are carried out by experienced physiotherapists. For each area of rehabilitation we assign a physiotherapist who has worked in that field.

Do you bring the equipment?

Yes. The portable devices and exercise materials needed come with your physiotherapist. There is nothing you need to buy.

How many sessions will be needed?

It depends on the diagnosis. A few weeks can be enough for an orthopaedic problem, while neurological rehabilitation runs over months. We give you a clear number after the first assessment.

The patient is bed-bound — is treatment still possible?

Yes. We begin with positioning in bed, joint movement and breathing work, and move on to sitting and standing as the patient's condition allows.

What sort of space is needed at home?

No special room or equipment is required. A bed or couch the patient can lie on comfortably, enough space for the physiotherapist to move around, and no loose rugs on the floor is enough.

Appointment

The first assessment is free

Call even if you are not sure which area of rehabilitation you need. Our physiotherapist comes to your home, assesses the patient and the setting, and tells you which programme fits and roughly how many sessions it will take. There is no charge for this first visit.
