Sometimes it is not physically possible make the trip to the physiotherapy clinic, there are a number of reasons why. At Go Rehab we are aware of these situations and recognise that the treatment needs to come to you.
Some of the things you might need us to come to your home for could include:
A recent fall: you might be looking bruised and find moving around difficult let alone driving. We can come to your home and assess your injuries. We could provide some "hands on" physiotherapy treatment and later develop series of exercise to target the weakness or reason for the fall. We could walk in and around your home and help identify falls risks. We could look at toilet seat heaths, showering safety, furniture type and placement to name just a few ideas.
Orthopaedics: You might have had a recent trauma or a planned joint replacement. You are home from hospital and finding things harder than you thought! We can assess your needs, plan some short, medium and long term goals. We can provide treatment and prescribe exercises to be done right in your bed or living room. This is a sure way to optimise your recovery.
Chest Infection: We would be happy to reduce the spread of infection in your community! When you have a chest infection breathing is hard work. We might need to come to your home to deliver the chest physiotherapy treatment you need to manage breathing better. Contact us to come to your home.
Back and neck pain: When certain parts of your spine get injured the pain can be debilitating. You feel you cannot move at all and getting into a car to drive to clinic feels like a physical impossibility. Contact us to come to you to provide your "hands on" physiotherapy treatment. We can talk you through some treatment options that will help to manage your pain. We can assess your spine to see if physiotherapy treatment is appropriate and guide you through some important exercises that will aide your recovery.
Neurological Conditions: You or one of your loved ones may have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. You might have been discharged from hospital following a stroke (CVA). If you are feeling daunted by theses types of diagnoses and need some help navigating a management plan, contact us. We will assess your physical abilities and plan some treatment goals you want to achieve. We could provide treatment in your home if you require it.
