What we do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physio@Home offer a physiotherapy service to any resident in a care home, whether private or local authority owned.   Our physiotherapists and health care support workers, will work with patients, their families and carers to improve quality of life and achieve person centred goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can offer advice and provide equipment to minimise falls risk, especially for residents living with dementia \/ frailty.   We offer a specialised service to advise you on positioning to protect and restore body shape for those residents with postural care needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will collaborate with other health and social care professionals to meet theses outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
