Physiotherapy Home vists
Professional physiotherapy delivered in the comfort of your own home.
Home visit physiotherapy is a practical option if travelling is difficult, you are recovering after surgery, you want assessment in your own environment, or you prefer treatment at home.
Who is home visit physiotherapy for?
Home visit physiotherapy is ideal if you find travel painful, difficult, or inconvenient, or if you would benefit from being assessed and treated in the environment where you actually live and move. It is often a good choice for people recovering from surgery, people with mobility limitations, or anyone who prefers the privacy and comfort of home-based care.
This service is also useful if work, family life, or transport make clinic attendance difficult. By seeing you at home, we can better understand the real-world factors that influence your movement, daily tasks, and rehabilitation progress.
What can home visit physiotherapy help with?
-
Post-surgery recovery.
-
Back pain and mobility issues.
-
General musculoskeletal pain.
-
Return-to-movement support.
-
Rehab progression and guidance.
-
Travel difficulties or limited mobility.

It is especially helpful after procedures such as joint replacements, spinal surgery, or ligament reconstruction, where early mobility and exercise guidance can make a big difference to confidence and recovery.
What happens during a home visit?
Is home physiotherapy safe?
Yes. The same care and attention are given at home as in the clinic or online, and all assessments and treatments follow professional standards. Your physiotherapist is fully DBS-checked for safety and peace of mind.
During your appointment, we assess your symptoms, review your movement, and discuss the problem in plain language so you understand what is likely going on and what to do next. We then provide treatment or guidance as appropriate, along with exercises and a practical plan tailored to your home environment.
Because the appointment takes place in your own space, the advice you receive is often more realistic and more relevant to your day-to-day life. We can see how you move around the room, how you manage stairs or furniture, and what adjustments may help you progress more comfortably.
Why choose home visit physiotherapy?
Home physiotherapy appointments are 60 minutes — £120.
Each session includes expert assessment, hands-on treatment, and personalised rehabilitation guidance delivered in your home.
This appointment length is well suited to people who need early mobility support after surgery, have complex or multiple issues, or benefit from treatment in their own environment.
Appointment length and pricing
Home physiotherapy eliminates the need to travel and can make treatment much easier if pain, recovery, or mobility is a barrier. It is also useful if you feel more relaxed at home or if you want care that is directly shaped around your daily routine.
This approach gives your physiotherapist a real-world view of your challenges and potential, making the assessment more holistic. It also means the exercises and progressions you receive are more likely to fit the space, equipment, and routines you already have.
