How we can help

After staying in hospital for a considerable length of time, the thought of returning home can trigger anxiety. It is normal to worry about how you will manage without the support of hospital staff.

But putting extra care and support in place for once you return home will ease your anxieties. Physiotherapy plays a huge part in helping you on a speedy route to recovery.

Our method

Physiotherapy can significantly help to reduce the problems associated with the hard transition from hospital to home.

To aid with mobility and help you to regain independence your physiotherapist will:

Assess your capabilities and plan you a personalised physiotherapy programme to help you reach your goals
Discuss your lifestyle and advise on how to achieve normality
Look for any muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or balance issues and work on addressing them
Assess your abilities to sit, stand, walk, and climb the stairs in your own home
Review walking aids and check that they are suitable for you
Suggest weaning you off your walking aids if you are safe to do so
Advise on any equipment that might help you manage better in your home
Help you to feel confident about managing your condition with advice and ongoing support

Our top tips to help you progress at home

Stay as active as you can
Get fresh air as often as you can, even if it’s in a wheelchair
Do your physiotherapy exercises daily
Eat a well-balanced diet
Keep hydrated
Ensure your pain is controlled with suitable medication
Wear non-slip shoes
Consider adaptations in your home to make mobility easier

My experiences have been totally positive. The booking arrangements are effectively and promptly managed and their arrangements and prices etc. are clear and explained. The Physio I had, Samiya, was excellent. She was always on time, very personable, but at the same time quite tough in making sure the exercises required were being done properly
