Physiotherapy Home Visits In London

​Home visits are particularly helpful for individuals who have limited mobility or cannot travel easily. It's also beneficial for those who are recovering from surgery, such as a hip/knee replacement. If you or someone you know suffers from a long-term neurological condition like Parkinson's disease, or the after effects of a stroke, then a home visit physiotherapy appointment can remove much of the stress caused by arranging travel to another location. Others simply prefer receiving treatment from the comfort of their own home, typically due to busy schedules and convenience. We also offer a service specifically designed to treat patients in care homes, or assisted living facilities, for those unable to travel to a clinic. Finally, if you've just received hospital treatment and need immediate care following a discharge, we can help by bringing that treatment to you.

​

Why Choose Home Physiotherapy?

In-home treatment is more than just convenient - it can also lead to better outcomes. When therapy is delivered in your natural environment, it’s easier to address real-world movement challenges, incorporate therapy into your daily routine, involve family or caregivers in your progress and simply to feel more relaxed, safe, and focused on your goals.

 

At SmartPhysio, we adapt each session to your needs. Whether you need weekly support or a structured short-term program post-surgery, we’re committed to helping you move better, feel stronger and regain your independence.

How Our Physiotherapy Home Visits Work​

Initial Consultation

We start with a detailed phone consultation to understand your condition, goals and environment. We’ll assign the most suitable physiotherapist from our team based on your clinical needs and location.

An up-to-date list of any medications you take is useful, plus details of any past or ongoing health conditions, investigations or treatments, especially if they are related to your current symptoms.

You may also wish to note down any questions you have about the problem to ask your physiotherapist, as well as think about the main problems you experience and how much they affect your day-to-day life.

​

During Your Session

Your therapist will arrive with any necessary equipment and perform an initial assessment. Treatment begins immediately and may include hands-on work, guided exercises and/or home adaptation advice.

​​

Follow-Up & Progression

Subsequent visits build on the plan set in your first session. We review your progress regularly, adjust your goals as needed, and provide guidance between visits.
