Physiotherapy At Home

1) Assessment

During your first assessment, you will be asked about your health history and also your condition and the problems you might be facing. Aspects of your movement will be analysed (muscle tone and strength, flexibility, balance, posture, coordination, sensation etc). After the assessment the Physio will tell you how she can help you and how many sessions you are likely to require in order to achieve your goals.

2) Goal Setting

Between you and your physiotherapist (& your family, where appropriate) you will discuss the issues which need to be addressed and devise a list of goals to aim for.  

3) Treatment

Your therapist will then design a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
Treatments may involve a hands-on approach to assist you to relearn a movement, strengthening and flexibility exercises (often utilising Pilates techniques), challenging your balance and also regular practice of functional activities and advice to assist you further.

Physio Focus at Home also offers ongoing 'maintenance' treatments for patients, with the aim of maintaining or improving exercise tolerance and function.  These can be organised on a regular, weekly basis at a time that suits.

5) Reassessment

At regular intervals you will be reassessed using special tests, specific to your needs, to establish improvement in your condition and highlight which areas may need further intervention.
