Post-Hospital & Reablement Physiotherapy

DT Physio provides home-based physiotherapy for people returning home after a hospital stay, illness, injury, or surgery. This service supports individuals who may feel weaker, less confident, or unsure how to safely resume everyday activities following discharge.

​

Many people are discharged from hospital with a package of care in place due to reduced mobility, fatigue, balance issues, or loss of confidence. Home-based physiotherapy plays a key role in reablement, supporting individuals to regain physical function and independence within their own home environment.

​

Physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, balance, walking ability, transfers, and functional movement, addressing the physical factors that commonly contribute to ongoing care needs. With structured and progressive rehabilitation, some individuals may be able to reduce their reliance on formal care support over time, where clinically appropriate.

​

Treatment is practical and goal-focused, concentrating on tasks that matter in daily life such as moving around the home, using stairs, managing transfers, and improving endurance. Rehabilitation is delivered at a pace appropriate to the individual’s health status and recovery stage.

​

Where appropriate, family members and carers are involved to support progress between sessions and ensure rehabilitation continues safely outside of appointments.
