What domiciliary physiotherapy means

Domiciliary physiotherapy means physiotherapy in the comfort of your own home. It allows assessment and rehabilitation to be adapted to your usual environment rather than a clinic setting. This can be useful when home tasks, mobility or confidence are central to your goals.

Who it may help

It may help people with mobility limitations, pain, neurological needs, balance concerns, post-illness recovery or reduced confidence with daily activities. It may also suit people who find transport difficult or who need advice that fits their home routine. Suitability depends on your condition, goals and safety needs.

What happens during an appointment

Your physiotherapist may assess movement, strength, balance, walking, transfers and functional tasks. The assessment is guided by your goals and what is clinically appropriate. You may receive advice, exercises and practical strategies to continue between appointments.

Mobility, confidence and rehabilitation at home

Care can support mobility, confidence and rehabilitation by linking exercises to real daily activities. This might include walking practice, getting up from a chair, stairs or safe movement around the home. Progress is reviewed and adapted according to your response.

Support where appropriate

Domiciliary physiotherapy may be relevant for older adults, neurological needs, post-illness rehabilitation or post-surgery support. Where appropriate, it can also support balance, strength and confidence with daily routines. If another healthcare route is more suitable, this will be discussed.

What to prepare before a home visit

Please have comfortable clothing, relevant letters, medication information and any walking aids or equipment nearby. Try to keep the area clear enough for safe movement if possible. Call before booking if you are unsure whether domiciliary physiotherapy is the right option.

Frequently asked questions

Is domiciliary physiotherapy the same as a home visit?

Yes. It means physiotherapy provided in your own home rather than in a clinic, with assessment adapted to your environment.

Who may benefit from domiciliary physiotherapy?

It may suit people who find travel difficult, need mobility support at home, or want rehabilitation linked to daily activities.

Can family members be present?

Will I receive exercises?

Where appropriate, you may receive a personalised exercise or activity plan that fits your ability, goals and home environment.

Should I call before booking?

Please call if you are unsure about suitability, have complex medical needs, or need help choosing between a home visit and online consultation.
