Our home visits
Our physiotherapy practice offers you the opportunity to receive treatments in the comfort of your own home. With our home visits, we bring physiotherapy care directly to you - individual, flexible and tailored precisely to your needs. Regardless of whether you are unable to come to the practice after an operation or due to chronic complaints, we will ensure that you receive the best possible care wherever you feel most comfortable.
Why are home visits important?
Home visits are a valuable alternative if you are not mobile for health reasons or cannot make the trip to the practice. Mobility can be particularly limited after operations, in the case of serious illnesses or in old age. In such cases, it is crucial not to neglect physiotherapy care. Home visits ensure that you receive the necessary support in your familiar environment to speed up your recovery or alleviate symptoms.
What is done during a home visit?
During a physiotherapy home visit, the same extensive range of treatments is offered as in the practice. These include:
Mobilization and exercise therapy: To promote mobility and strengthen muscles.
Pain relief: Through manual techniques and special exercises to reduce pain.
Lymphatic drainage: To reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Training of everyday functions: Exercises specifically aimed at improving everyday movements such as walking, standing up or climbing stairs.
What should be taken into account during a home visit?
To ensure that the home visit goes smoothly, you should clarify a few things in advance. Make sure that there is a suitable place available where the treatment can be carried out. A free room, a comfortable surface to lie on or a stable chair can be helpful, depending on the type of therapy. Access to any aids that may be needed, such as walking aids or bandages, should also be guaranteed. Ensure that the atmosphere is quiet so that the treatment can take place without interruption.
Who are home visits suitable for?
Home visits are ideal for:
Elderly people who are limited in their mobility.
Patients after operations who are in the rehabilitation phase and need support in regaining their mobility.
People with chronic illnesses such as stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, for whom regular physiotherapy care is essential.
Patients with acute injuries who are temporarily immobile but still require physiotherapy.
What are the advantages of home visits?
The biggest advantage of home visits is that the treatment takes place in your familiar surroundings. This creates a pleasant atmosphere and promotes motivation. In addition, exercises can be adapted directly to the conditions of the home environment, which is particularly helpful in rehabilitation after injuries or operations. Relatives can also be included in the appointments and receive important tips on how to support the patient in everyday life.
Do I need to prepare for the home visit?
Special preparation is usually not necessary. However, it is helpful to wear comfortable clothing that allows sufficient freedom of movement, as mobilization exercises or movement therapy are often carried out during treatment. You should also have important information such as doctor's reports, X-rays or previous medical reports ready so that the therapist has an optimal overview of your health condition. Make yourself comfortable and make sure that you can relax during the treatment.
