Home Visit Initial Assessment
One of our wonderful Physiotherapists will visit the residence. The first session is typically a mobility assessment based on the nature of their challenges or complaints.
We specifically help with:
- Evidenced-based Physiotherapy
- Rehabilitation
- Helping people live with less pain
- Assessments & reviews
What is Included in Home Visit Physiotherapy?
We perform outcome measures which are our baseline measures allowing us to assess and reassess the progress of an individual’s therapy. This provides a baseline to set goals to achieve.
We then put a plan in place, which will entail
- Goals the individual wishes to achieve
- Frequency of sessions
- Expected duration
- When to reassess outcome measures
- Implement a rehabilitation program between therapist and patient
- Provide a individualise home exercise program to do with their carer, family or individually
You will then be supported by our Australian team for the duration of your Physiotherapy with us.
Types of Physiotherapy
We assess the patient’s physical attributes (namely upper/lower limb function, balance, transfers, functional capacity and safety). We take outcome measures that allow us to measure our performance over time. From there, we’ll formulate short-term and long-term goals and create a treatment plan. This may include:
- Strength exercises
- Respiratory conditioning
- Balance exercises
- Joint mobilisation
- Hands-on therapy, soft tissue massage, manual therapy
Once a plan is in place, together with trust, we will perform the treatments together. For example, for a patient recovering from a stroke, we may work on gait retraining, contracture management and safe transfer practices.

Physiotherapy FAQ
-
In what ways can Physiotherapy sessions be unique?
Occasionally we may add some music as part of our sessions to make it more fun, if you’re lucky, you might see some of our therapists singing and dancing! We may use boxing gloves, play with tennis racquets or use a ball or balloon to train reflexes. If you’re advanced you may need to negotiate one of our specialised obstacle courses!
We try to cater to each individual to ensure its a session they look forward to.
For private home visits under the NDIS, there is funding to access amazing assistive technology. We particularly like reaction-based tests that synchronise to mobile phones, so there is quantitative data to record.
-
Will the Physiotherapist use equipment or recommend me to obtain any?
Yes and yes.
We often recommend specific exercise equipment to help with your home exercise program. We also recommend equipment including gait aids, wheelchairs, etc.
In one of our Physiotherapist’s bags, you’ll probably find, balls, weights, therabands, witches hat cones for obstacles and balloons (why we carry balloons is a story for when Total Health Choice visits). We may also bring a foam mat for balance practice or a step for stair practice.
-
What are goals & how are they reviewed?
Examples of goals
Goals are patient-directed. For example, a patient who has had a lengthy stay in hospital has resulted in deconditioning. Consequently, they will struggle when they return home as their mobility and strength have declined.
In this scenario, the goals would revolve around restoring the norm, i.e.
- Getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom safely
- Reduce the fear of falling
- Feeling empowered
- Feeling safe in the home environment
- Getting back outside into the community
Occasionally our patient’s goal may be to keep them living at home as independent as possible by maximising their functional activities within their home environment – improving their activities of daily living.
We cater to each individual’s needs and provide care to suit the individual.
How goals are reviewed
Goals are reviewed by retesting outcome measures. Goals are often performing routine activities in a safe way, so being able to achieve the functional task we’ve set out to do, such as
- Get out of bed safely
- Go to the bathroom at nighttime safely
- Walk 8 minutes to the local cafe
- Using kitchen equipment safely
