Description
The home based (domiciliary) physiotherapy service aims to provide a high-quality service for adults over 16 years of age within their own home. The service provides assessment and treatment to housebound patients, residents in care homes and patients with complex needs affecting access to clinics.
We accept referrals for a variety of musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory conditions, falls and mobility problems. We provide a full comprehensive holistic assessment, individualised exercise programmes, and pain management. Additional specialist assessments are completed depending on the patient’s symptoms e.g. falls, neurological, chest assessments
We also run respiratory clinics, a drop in mobility clinic and a self-referral telephone triage clinic for mobility equipment.
Why would someone choose the service?
- Patient centred holistic approach to treatment
- Treatment in their own home for housebound patients
- Excellent links and joint working with other professionals e.g. physiotherapy teams, speech and language, occupational therapy
- Knowledge and skills to provide excellent treatment
