Home visits and physical tehrapy at home

Many physical therapies can be provided at home to speed recovery from illness, injury or surgery. Home based therapy allows patients to develop independence with daily physical activities in a convenient and comfortable setting.  Families are also able to be involved in the therapeutic process.

Home based therapy is indicated for everybody of every age.

Whether the patient’s problem is a result of disease or injury, the role of a practitioner is to help patients return to former function.

Physical therapists also help train coordination, balace, mobility, and muscle strength that prevents the loss of mobility and minimise danger of falls.

Costs are covered by basic health insurances with the referral from a doctor.

Physical therapy may be applied for someone experiencing:

• a stroke
• spinal cord injuries
• neurological diseases
• back pain (muscle or unspecific)
• rib bruise or fractions
• joint pain
• hip, knee or shoulder replacement surgery
• any other surgeries or injuries which decline the function
• a loss of balance
• a fall

To work efficently at patients home we need:

• informations about the patient’s health (medical history, examination results, physical therapy record from hospital or rehabilitation center)
• referral from a doctor
• free space for exercises (except for bed patients)
• patient`s concentration and attention during therapy
