At Jessica Woods Physiotherapy we know that not everyone is easily able to leave their home to attend a physiotherapy appointment, or sometimes with such a hectic work-life routine it’s just easier for your physio to come to you. We also understand that to give a truly holistic service, its sometimes better for a patient to be seen in their own home.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Physio At Home
That’s why at Jessica Woods Physiotherapy, we have the equipment and know how to deliver a full holistic assessment and treatment plan from within your own home. We understand that being seen at home is more personal, and so we ensure we do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and to build trust with your physiotherapist. Starting with a free telephone consultation so that we can get to know each other.
Telephone consultation
We provide a free telephone consultation to discuss why you may need physiotherapy, what you would like to achieve and to arrange a face-to-face consultation at your home.
Initial assessment appointment
This appointment is face to face and we will come to meet you at your home. We will initially discuss your problem and may ask you some questions about your past medical history that may be relevant and what medications you are taking. We will then do a physical examination to see how well you are moving and may reproduce your pain (if you have any). We may ask you to wear loose clothes or shorts to be able to see your movement or function better.
After the assessment the physio will discuss their findings and recommend a course of treatment where appropriate. We will set patient centred goals around what you would like to achieve. Setting a timeframe can be tricky as every person is different so we review your progress and goals each time we see you.
This appointment is usually up to an hour.
Ongoing treatment sessions
Following the initial assessment, we will arrange a follow up session for treatment. We use a mixture of hands-on therapy as well as patient focused exercises for you to work on between sessions.
In these sessions we will review your progress and at various stages complete outcome measures. Depending on your needs your appointment time can range from 30 mins to 45 mins. We will agree this in your treatment plan at the initial assessment.
