Everyday movements, like getting up from your sofa, can shape the plan.

matter

  • Movement that matters in your daily life
  • Advice for your own space and equipment
  • Exercises you can practise between visits
What a home visit involves

“The home visit was super helpful because one of my issues was due to the fact I had the saddle too high on my exercise bike. Had I visited a clinic, this would not have been picked up as easily.”

Arranging home physio
for a relative?

It can be hard to know where to start, especially from a distance. You can enquire on behalf of a parent, partner or friend.

Your relative is part of the conversation. They can say what they want to do more easily and decide who receives updates.

How family enquiries work

“I contacted Jacob regarding my elderly mother’s mobility issues due to frailty and aging. Jacob was extremely warm, kind, and considerate, fully understanding of her needs and keeping it to her level. This in turn helped her manage her pain and improve mobility.”
