Over our many blog posts over the years we have looked at lots of topics and the benefits that physiotherapy can bring in a variety of ways and for a range of conditions but in this post I thought we would look at the benefits of our having physiotherapy at home instead of in a traditional clinic.

As a home visit physiotherapy service based in Lichfield (Staffordshire) and serving the surrounding areas I thought it could be helpful, for anyone reading this blog and trying to decide whether or not a home visit physiotherapy service is for them, to go over the benefits of a home visit service.

1. Time Saving!

Driving to and from a physiotherapy clinic often takes longer than the actual treatment session and if you have gone to the physio for some deep tissue work and spinal manipulation on your back then a further hour's drive home is not going to help you sort that bad back!

Having a home visit service takes away that time difficulty especially for those with busy lives who really struggle to find that extra time in the week to see a physiotherapist.

 2. Saves the Difficulty of Leaving the House

Many of our patients have significant difficulties with mobility, they may have recently had an operation, their walking may be poor or they may be very elderly and have great difficulty leaving their home. In these cases our home visit physiotherapy service is ideal as it eliminates these difficulties and brings high quality physiotherapy to them.

3. Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

In the immediate period after an operation such as a knee or hip replacement mobilising to the kitchen is often difficult enough let alone getting to a physiotherapy clinic! Our home visit physiotherapy service is ideal if you have just had an operation and want access to a physiotherapist but find it is too painful to leave the house.

4. Assessment and Rehab at Home

In reality most rehabilitation and doing of physiotherapy exercises takes place at home and therefore it makes sense for your physiotherapist to see you in your home environment and give you exercises and rehab that will fit this environment.

5. Paediatric Physiotherapy

With children physiotherapy is much better done in an environment where they and their parents feel comfortable. Also the physiotherapist will often need to assess how the child is performing in their home environment to see how their difficulties may be affecting them. Having a physiotherapist come to the home also saves having to sort out childcare arrangements if you have more than one child!
