Sometimes getting to a physiotherapy clinic is the hardest part.
If pain, reduced mobility, illness, an operation or another health problem makes travelling difficult, a home physiotherapy appointment can be a practical alternative.
Harrogate Physio Rehab provides physiotherapy home visits for suitable patients in Harrogate and surrounding areas.
The same professional assessment and personalised approach you would expect from a clinic appointment can be brought into your own home.
Home physiotherapy can be particularly helpful if you:
A home assessment can also be useful when your everyday environment forms an important part of your rehabilitation.
The period immediately following surgery can be challenging.
Getting in and out of chairs, walking around the house, managing stairs and completing your exercises can all feel very different after an operation.
Home physiotherapy can help you work on these practical aspects of recovery in the environment where you actually need to function.
This can be particularly relevant following orthopaedic surgery such as knee or hip replacement.
If you have recently had a knee replacement, the early stages of rehabilitation can be demanding.
A home physiotherapy visit may focus on knee movement, strength, walking, transfers and gradually increasing your confidence with everyday activities.
Your programme will be adjusted according to your stage of recovery and the advice provided by your surgical team.
As you become more mobile, rehabilitation can continue at the clinic if that is appropriate for you.
Home visits aren't only for people recovering from surgery.
If you have become less mobile, are struggling with balance or have difficulty moving around your home safely, physiotherapy can assess your movement and help develop an appropriate rehabilitation programme.
Seeing you in your own environment can sometimes provide useful information that isn't apparent in a clinic.
People living with long-term conditions may also benefit from physiotherapy at home.
The focus may be on maintaining mobility, improving strength, making everyday activities easier and helping you remain as independent as possible.
Where other healthcare professionals are involved in your care, communication and collaborative working can be arranged where appropriate.
Home physiotherapy visits are available in Harrogate and selected surrounding areas.
Harrogate Physio Rehab also treats patients from areas including Knaresborough, Wetherby, Ripon and Boston Spa.
If you are unsure whether your address is within the home-visit area, please contact us.
The appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms, health, mobility and what you want to achieve.
Your movement and physical abilities will then be assessed, taking into account your home environment and your individual circumstances.
Treatment and rehabilitation will be tailored accordingly.
You will also be given clear advice and exercises to continue between appointments where appropriate.

Not necessarily. This depends on your individual needs and rehabilitation goals. Some people continue with home visits, while others move to clinic-based rehabilitation as their mobility improves.
If travelling to a physiotherapy clinic isn't practical, you don't necessarily have to put your rehabilitation on hold.
