Who Can Benefit From A Home Visit?

Home visits are often appropriate for individuals who find it difficult to attend appointments at the clinic.

This may include people who:

  • Have recently been discharged from hospital
  • Are recovering from surgery
  • Have limited mobility
  • Experience significant pain when travelling
  • Are elderly or frail
  • Live in a care home
  • Have respiratory conditions
  • Have cardiovascular conditions
  • Require rehabilitation within their home environment

Many patients find that receiving treatment at home removes the physical and logistical challenges associated with travelling to appointments during the early stages of recovery.

Conditions

What Conditions Can Be Treated During A Home Visit?

Our home visit service allows us to provide assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for many of the same conditions we regularly manage in clinic.

These include:

Home visits are particularly popular with patients requiring Pre & Post-Operative Rehabilitation, where travelling to appointments may be difficult during the early stages of recovery.

Home Treatment

What Treatments Can Be Provided At Home?

Our practitioners are able to deliver a comprehensive range of treatments within your home environment.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

  • Manual therapy
  • Exercise rehabilitation
  • Mobility training
  • Taping techniques
  • Acupuncture where appropriate
  • Strengthening exercises
  • Balance training
  • Walking assessment
  • Functional rehabilitation
  • Lifestyle advice

Because treatment takes place in your own surroundings, we can also assess how your home environment may be affecting your recovery.

This allows us to provide practical recommendations that may improve safety, comfort and independence.

Post-Surgical Care

Home Rehabilitation Following Surgery

One of the most common reasons patients request a home visit is following surgery.

Travelling to appointments immediately after an operation can be challenging, particularly after procedures involving the hip, knee, ankle or shoulder.

Our home rehabilitation service can support recovery following:

  • Hip replacement surgery
  • Knee replacement surgery
  • Shoulder surgery
  • Achilles tendon repair
  • Ligament reconstruction
  • Foot and ankle surgery
  • Orthopaedic procedures
  • Other musculoskeletal operations

Treatment focuses on restoring mobility, rebuilding strength and helping patients progress safely through each stage of rehabilitation.

As recovery improves, some patients choose to continue treatment in the clinic, while others continue with home-based appointments.

Your Home Visit

What To Expect During A Home Visit

Your appointment begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals.

We will then carry out an assessment appropriate to your condition and circumstances.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

  • Mobility assessment
  • Movement analysis
  • Strength testing
  • Balance assessment
  • Functional assessment
  • Walking assessment
  • Home environment review

Following assessment, your practitioner will explain their findings and recommend a treatment plan designed around your individual needs.

Treatment may begin during the same visit where appropriate.

You will also receive guidance on exercises, activity modification and self-management strategies to support your recovery between appointments.
