MOBILE VISITS (AT HOMES, HOSPITAL ROOMS, GYMS & SWIMMING POOLS)

For people whose health and mobility challenges prevent them from easily leaving home, physiotherapy and occupational therapy home visits can be life changing. Strength, balance, stamina, resilience, and safety can improve at any age, and those who are struggling most often have the most to gain. Improving balance and reducing fall risks can prevent head injuries, broken bones, and long-term care admission. Improving strength and setting up assistive equipment often enables people to continue living independently at home when they would otherwise lose the ability to care for themselves. 

 

Our in-home physiotherapy & occupational therapy services include:

• Fall risk assessment and interventions

• Personalized exercise programs (at home, or a gym or swimming pool)

• Rehab from injury, surgery, fractures, heart disease, cancer, stroke, Parkinson's, arthritis, amputation, concussions, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, vertigo, incontinence and other challenges

• Preparation for surgery ("prehab")

• Prescribing adaptive & assistive equipment

• Pain management (e.g. manual therapy, acupuncture, TENS, breathing strategies, gentle exercise, etc.)

• Strategies for managing incontinence (leaking urine or stool) and constipation

• Strategies for doing hobbies or daily activities in new, easier ways

• Assistance with legacy projects

• Caregiver & family education

• Palliative support (breathing, mobility, pain and fatigue management, equipment, etc.)
