Home Physiotherapy Visits



For some people, attending a clinic isn’t always possible. Whether due to recent surgery, reduced mobility, or health-related challenges, travelling to appointments can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer home physiotherapy visits, bringing high-quality care directly to you, in the comfort of your own home.



Who are home visits suitable for?



Home physiotherapy can be particularly helpful for:


  • Individuals recovering from surgery who are currently unable to drive

  • Older adults who may feel less confident leaving the house

  • People with reduced mobility or balance concerns

  • Those managing ongoing musculoskeletal pain or stiffness

  • Anyone for whom attending a clinic is physically or medically challenging



Each patient is carefully screened prior to a home visit to ensure this service is appropriate, safe, and beneficial.



Conditions we commonly treat



Our home visit service focuses on musculoskeletal and mobility-based conditions, including:


  • Joint pain and stiffness affecting the hips, knees, shoulders, back, or neck

  • Osteoarthritis and age-related joint changes

  • Reduced mobility and physical deconditioning

  • Balance problems and falls prevention

  • Post-operative rehabilitation once medically stable (e.g. joint replacements or fracture recovery)

  • Muscle weakness and loss of confidence with movement

  • Walking difficulties and gait re-education

  • Chronic back or neck pain

  • Tendon and soft tissue injuries

  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff–related problems

  • Postural issues

  • Reduced function following illness or hospital admission

  • Mild neurological conditions once medically stable, where the focus is on mobility and function

  • Support with safe exercise, pacing, and movement within the home




Safety and screening



Before any home visit, we carry out a thorough screening process. With your consent, we may request access to relevant GP health records to ensure sessions are paced appropriately and tailored to your individual health needs.


Please note, we do not provide home physiotherapy for complex or unstable medical conditions, acute illness, palliative care, or end-of-life care. If home physiotherapy is not the most suitable option, we will always guide you toward the most appropriate support.



Getting started



If you’re unsure whether a home visit is right for you or a loved one, please get in touch. We’re always happy to talk through your situation and advise on the best next step.
