PHYSIOTHERAPY home visits around oatlands.

Yes, home physiotherapy is just as effective as clinic visits. Our team member will bring the necessary equipment and will provide the same level of care in creating a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Only difference, is it will be done in the comfort of your own home!

For most home Physiotherapy sessions, you typically don’t need any special equipment, as our team will bring the necessary tools and supplies. However, there are a few things that can help optimise your treatment:

Comfortable Space: Ensure there’s enough space for the physiotherapist to set up any portable equipment and for you to move comfortably during exercises.

Stable Surface: A firm, flat surface like a mat or carpeted floor is ideal for exercises. If a treatment table is needed, our team will bring a portable one.

Loose Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely and gives our team access to the areas that need treatment.

Towels or Pillows: These can be useful for positioning and support during certain treatments or exercises.

Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important, so having water nearby is always a good idea.

Your Physiotherapist will assess your needs and may suggest specific items for ongoing exercises, like resistance bands or small weights, but these are typically inexpensive and easy to acquire. For the most part, your Physiotherapist will have everything required to provide effective treatment during home visits.

Preparing your space for a home Physiotherapy session is important to ensure a smooth and effective experience. Here are some steps you can take:

Choose the right location: Select a quiet, comfortable area in your home with enough space for movement. Ideally, this should be a place where you won’t be disturbed during the session.

Clear the area: Remove any clutter, furniture, or obstacles that could get in the way of the exercises or treatment. A clear, open space will allow our team to set up any necessary equipment and move around freely.

Ensure proper lighting: Good lighting is important for both you and our team member. Make sure the area is well-lit so the Physiotherapist can observe your movements and perform treatments accurately.

Prepare any necessary Equipment: While your Physiotherapist will bring most of the equipment needed, you may want to have a mat, towel, or any previously recommended exercise tools (like resistance bands or weights) ready.

Consider temperature and ventilation: Make sure the room is at a comfortable temperature and well-ventilated. If you tend to get warm during exercise, having a fan nearby can be helpful.

Wear appropriate clothing: Dress in loose, comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement and provides access to the areas that need treatment. Avoid tight or restrictive clothing.

Keep water handy: Have a water bottle nearby to stay hydrated during and after your session.

Inform household members: Let others in your home know about the session to minimise interruptions and ensure a calm environment.

Consider privacy: Choose a space where you feel comfortable and can maintain privacy during the session, especially if certain treatments require disrobing or specific positioning.
