Understanding the service

Home treatment can focus directly on the spaces and tasks used every day.

The physiotherapist brings suitable equipment and works with the space available. The first visit includes an assessment and a plan linked to the patient’s function and home environment.

Home visits are offered in selected areas and are confirmed according to location, clinical suitability and availability.

Who this may be for

Who may benefit from a home visit

Home treatment may be useful when travel is difficult, unsafe or unnecessarily tiring.

Recovery after orthopaedic or general surgery

Stroke and neurological rehabilitation

Older adults with reduced mobility

Balance problems and falls-risk management

Patients who are homebound or medically vulnerable

Functional practice in the home environment

What to expect

A clear process from first assessment to progress review.

Share the location

Provide the address, access details and a brief description of the patient’s needs.

Confirm suitability

The practice confirms the area, appointment availability and any travel fee.

Assess at home

The first visit considers movement, function, safety and the actual home environment.

Progress the plan

Treatment, home practice and carer guidance are reviewed as the patient’s needs change.

The approach

A practical plan built around the home

Treatment may address bed mobility, transfers, walking, stairs, strength, balance or post-operative exercises using the patient’s normal environment.

Family or carers can be included with consent so that assistance and practice between visits are safer and more consistent.

Assessment in the patient’s actual environment

Functional practice using the home setup

Carer education where appropriate

Clear home programme and progression plan

Areas and availability

Home visits may be available in Bryanston, Sandton, Randburg, Midrand, Woodmead and other selected Gauteng areas. The practice confirms whether the address can be accommodated.

Travel fees

A travel fee may apply depending on location. The expected cost is explained before the appointment is confirmed.

What to prepare

Share the address, access details, relevant diagnosis and main mobility concern when requesting the visit. Medical records or post-operative instructions may also be needed.

Home visits are not an emergency service

Seek urgent medical assistance for sudden breathing difficulty, chest pain, new neurological symptoms, severe trauma or rapid medical deterioration.

Practical answers

Questions patients commonly ask

These answers are general. Your assessment and medical-aid rules may change what applies in your situation.

How do I request a home visit?

Call, WhatsApp or use the appointment form with the patient’s location and a brief description of the need. The practice will confirm clinical suitability, availability and any travel fee.

Can serious conditions be treated at home?

Some post-operative, neurological and mobility conditions can be managed at home when the patient is medically stable. The practice will advise whether home physiotherapy is suitable or whether medical review is needed first.
