PHYSIOTHERAPIST HOME VISIT
A physiotherapist home visit is an individual rehabilitation session provided at the patient’s place of residence. It is suitable when a person has difficulty or is unable to travel to a medical facility, or when safe and professional therapy is needed in the comfort of their own environment.
During a home visit, the physiotherapist:
- Assesses the patient’s condition, taking into account symptoms, movement limitations, and functional abilities;
- Prepares a personalized rehabilitation plan adapted to the home environment;
- Conducts exercises, mobilizations, and soft tissue techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase strength;
- Educates the patient and their family members on how to safely continue exercises independently;
- Provides recommendations on ergonomics and home environment adjustments to facilitate daily activities and reduce the risk of injury.
Home visits are especially recommended:
- After surgeries (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.);
- After a stroke or in cases of neurological conditions;
- For seniors with mobility difficulties;
- For people with acute pain who have trouble moving;
- For patients who prefer therapy in a familiar environment.
The goal is to improve the patient’s condition in a comfortable, safe, and accessible way, ensuring the same professional approach as in a clinic.
