Benefits of a Physiotherapist for Home Care

• Manage your pains and aches to help you continue to enjoy the activities that you do.
• Advise and provide exercises to help you reduce any falls or near misses that you may have experienced.

That might mean you want to be able to walk down the street to the park. That means a physiotherapist might be right for you to work on strength, stamina and balance so you are able and confident to make that park trip.

Or maybe you want to be able to catch the bus to get to your favourite activity but the step onto the bus is too daunting? Our physiotherapist can work on strength and balance, while other members of our allied health team like an occupational therapist can help find the right aids and our podiatrist can recommend on which footwear would be best to provide you with support and stability whilst you are out.
