Physio after Hospital Discharge

Why physiotherapy after hospital discharge matters?

Leaving hospital doesn’t mean your recovery is over. In fact, the first few weeks at home are most crucial and the most under-supported too. Without structured physiotherapy after hospital discharge, the muscles weakness and mobility decrease rapidly and increases the risk of falls and re-admissions significantly. At Ukhomephysio, we continue the rehabilitation by coming directly to you, thoroughly assessing your condition at home, and building a bespoke plan to achieve your goals.

Who needs post-discharge physiotherapy at home?

Our service is designed for anyone returning home following a hospital admission, including:

Elderly and frail individuals

Specialist elderly rehabilitation at home giving the time and attention that older adults deserve. We focus on improving balance, mobility, building strength, confidence and empowering you to reduce reliance on the ongoing care.

Stroke & neurological rehab

Our specialist neuro physiotherapists provide support to individuals with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and acute brain injury. We deliver targeted rehabilitation programmes to improve balance, walking, coordination and confidence at home.

Rehabilitation after illness or prolonged hospital stay

Our physiotherapists help gradually rebuild physical function and exercise tolerance in individuals having hospital admissions following chest infections, urinary track infections, recurrent or long periods of bed rest.

Cardiac & medical admissions

After acute or prolonged illness, we rebuild muscle strength and stamina gradually following respiratory track infections, intensive care and general medical admissions.

Orthopaedic surgery recovery

Hip, knee, spinal surgery or fracture repair. Our Physiotherapists provide structured rehabilitation to restore mobility, strength and independence in a timely manner.

Falls & fractures

Hospital admissions often lead to weakness, reduced mobility and increased risk of falls in older individuals. We address both the physical recovery and the fear of falling again by balance retraining, walking aid prescription, advice and training, mobility practice indoors and outdoors as well as building confidence and endurance to prevent recurrence of falls.

General deconditioning

Rehabilitation for individuals experiencing weakness, fatigue and reduced mobility after prolonged illness or hospital admission.

 

Dementia & cognitive decline

Individuals with cognitive decline rehabilitate best within familiar surroundings. We work sensitively with individuals and their families to maintain mobility, reduce falls risk and preserve independence safely at home following hospital discharge.
