The Challenge: Returning Home
After staying in the hospital for a considerable length of time, the thought of returning home can often trigger anxiety. It is completely normal to worry about how you will manage without the immediate support of hospital staff.
However, putting extra care and professional support in place for once you return home will significantly ease your anxieties and accelerate your recovery. Physiotherapy plays a huge part in helping you on a speedy and safe route back to full independence.
Our Method: Bridging the Gap from Hospital to Home
Physiotherapy can significantly help to reduce the problems associated with the often-hard transition from the structured environment of the hospital to the comfort of your home. Our goal is to aid with your mobility and help you to regain independence in your own environment.
Your dedicated physiotherapist will:
Assess and Plan: Thoroughly assess your current capabilities and plan a personalized physiotherapy programme tailored to help you reach your specific recovery goals.
Lifestyle Integration: Discuss your current lifestyle and advise on practical strategies for how to achieve normality and reintegrate daily routines.
Targeted Treatment: Actively look for and work on addressing any underlying muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or balance issues.
Home Environment Assessment: Assess your abilities to perform essential functions like sitting, standing, walking, and climbing the stairs within your own home.
Walking Aid Review: Review any existing walking aids and check that they are suitable and safe for you. They will also suggest weaning you off your walking aids if you are safe to do so.
Equipment Advice: Advise on any specialized equipment that might help you manage better and more safely in your home environment.
Confidence Building: Help you to feel confident about managing your condition with clear advice and ongoing support throughout your recovery journey.
