Fatigue

Take the steps towards managing physical and mental exhaustion

How we can help

Fatigue is a common symptom of many illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and anaemia. A lack of energy or motivation (both mental and physical) can be very hard to cope with, but there are strategies to make your life easier.

You may feel completely fine on some days. But on others you could feel too drained and exhausted to do anything at all. There may be a pattern to your fatigue, so understanding this will help manage your energy levels and make daily activities easier over time.

There are two forms of fatigue: mental and physical.

  • Physical is when your body does not have any strength or energy to perform everyday tasks that other people take for granted
  • Mental is when you do not have the ability to concentrate or rationalise your thoughts effectively. This can affect you at home or in the workplace

Our method

To help battle fatigue and improve your energy levels your physiotherapist will:

  • Assess your problems, create achievable goals for you, and select a suitable treatment programme
  • Review your mobility and provide you with graded exercises
  • Look at your mental as well as physical state
  • Assess your joints to see if you need any pain relief
  • Review your lifestyle choices and advise you on managing daily activities
  • Discuss ways in which you can pace yourself
  • Consider giving you breathing exercises if you suffer from anxiety

Our top tips to help you manage your fatigue

  • Stay as active as you can within your limits
  • Pace yourself
  • Get fresh air
  • Do your physiotherapy exercises regularly
  • Eat well and drink plenty
  • Discuss your pain management with your physiotherapist or doctor if it is not well-controlled

Regarding my appointment with Sangram Shinde. He arrived on time, with a friendly attitude, and we proceeded to discuss my problems. He checked my mobility and function and made the important point that providing patients with too large a list of exercises to perform was counterproductive. We then went through the list of exercises he recommended for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sangram to other prospective patients as he has an excellent ‘chairside’ manner.P J E

Excellent service provided by Keren for my grandmother following a hip fracture who despite being very frail is able to go up and down the stairs which is excellent for her quality of life. Very professional. Easy to arrange even during the Christmas period.

What a brilliant service and one I was not previously aware of until I had my hip replacement and found myself needing the help and advice of a physiotherapist at my home. A local Physio Clinic gave me the telephone number for this home visit service. A friendly, helpful voice on the line found a physiotherapist in my area, booked an appointment and a wonderful, very knowledgeable physio arrived at my house that afternoon. For the first time in 4 days I was able to have a good night's sleep! I am very happy to recommend Home Physio Group.

Feroz,the physio was very good in the way he assessed my wife, Earlin.He gave us a list of exercises to follow and my wife has been showing improvement on a daily basis. We are very pleased with his approach and we will recommend him to others in future

I have looked at the exercise programme and found that I'm already doing similar exercises which I had to research myself despite asking for help with my sciatica and nutrition from the NHS. I needed help with nutrition because of unrelated effects of C. Difficile causing dramatic weight lose.Feeling has returned to almost all my leg except certain movements in my toes and lack of feeling there make it impossible to drive.I was told so far so good by your home visitor which has given me confidence but I fear the next Chemo may send back to square one

I cannot praise Chi Lok Ken Hong (known as Ken) enough in what he has achieved with my 90 year old mother, Catherine, who broke her hip in early September. The promised NHS community package of care post discharge has still not materialised (2 months later), but due to mum’s struggling, we contacted Home Physio who responded quickly to mum’s needs and arranged for Ken to see her within a week of contact. Initially she was struggling to even get out of a chair, but with Ken’s guidance, over 6 weeks she is now basically fully mobile again, is walking with just a stick, going up and down stairs, and going out and about with a walker. Ken has been amazing. He has been excellent at explaining all exercises and has been encouraging at every stage. He has been professional but warm and kind in his approach, instilling confidence. My mother has valued his praise. He has always been on time and kept us informed. He has always followed through almost immediately on sending links to exercises. It is obvious he is passionate about his work. We are so pleased we found him. He has given mum back her independence. Thank you so much.Heather

I’m writing this on behalf of my friend who has recently completed a block of physio sessions with Fawad Husseini.Fawad is a charming man who instantly made my friend feel at ease. He is used to dealing with older people and is extremely kind and patient.He tailored each session to my friend’s needs on any particular day. Over the course of 2+ months I saw my friend gaining confidence and improved physical ability; she has gone from being chair-bound and totally dependent on others to being able to walk with the support of an rollator. The experience has been a very positive one. I highly recommend Fawad.

Amazing ServiceFollowing a fall resulting in a distal femoral replacement my 92 year old mum was weak and had lost confidence to be able to walk without somebody near her.I contacted Home Physio Group; who quickly explained the cost and packages on offer. An initial assessment was arranged within days.Mum received excellent care from Fawad. He was very professional caring, and able to assess mums capabilities quickly. He showed compassion and positivity, which really helped her determination to get back walking properly. This along with exercises for her to do on a daily she progressed from hardly lifting her leg, bending her knee and getting out of a chair to being able to walk with 2 sticks.I would definitely recommend this home physio company.

Needed a physiotherapist for a family member who is a severe stroke victim. Following a phone conversation explaining the situation, Home Physio Group assigned Damien Tan to home visit.Damien worked wonders in just a handful of sessions, inspiring the patient to improve.Would definitely recommend.

Very helpful and efficient. Very quickly made an appointment for me with Adrian. Adrian was superb. He quickly established a positive working relationship. Challenging but realistic targets were set and Adrian provided encouragement and constructive feedback to enable me to reach these targets. His care plan was shared and agreed. Very professional.Adrian took a holistic approach giving advice on fluid intake and skin care. I highly recommend the company and especially Adrian and would not hesitate to use them again if needed.

I would like to say how I found Home Physio Group very helpful and informative. Naomi was so professional and truthful! She was wonderful and gave me a lot confidence which I needed. She made me do exercises that I thought I could never do. I am very pleased with the outcome and if I ever need physio again I would not hesitate to contact them again
