They allow physiotherapists to treat patients in their own homes, which can be more convenient and accessible for many people.

In the Greater Manchester city region alone it’s calculated that there are over 700,000 disabled people. That figure includes a wide range of disabilities, including physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health conditions and sensory impairments. The most common types of disability in Greater Manchester are physical disabilities (33.5%) and mental health conditions (33.3%) according to the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership

At Athos Physio home physiotherapy visits are an important part of our service. We have been equipped so that we can provide the same level of physiotherapy service excellence at home as in our clinic. The key reason why we think it’s important to provide home physiotherapy visits is highlighted below.

• Convenience: Home physiotherapy visits can be a lifesaver for people who have difficulty getting to and from our clinic. This may include older adults, people with disabilities, and people with chronic illnesses.

• Accessibility: Home physiotherapy visits can be especially beneficial for people who live further away from a city or who have limited transportation options. We do have a limitation of how far away we can get but we’ll do our best to attend for people in need that can’t move.

• Continuity of care: Home physiotherapy visits can help to ensure that patients receive continuous care, even if they are unable to attend clinic appointments.

• Personalized treatment: Athos Physio physiotherapists can tailor their treatment plans to the specific needs of each patient when they visit them in their homes. This can be especially helpful for patients with complex conditions.

• Improved outcomes: Studies have shown that home physiotherapy visits can lead to better patient outcomes. This is likely because patients are more likely to adhere to their treatment plans when they are treated in their own homes.

In addition to the benefits listed above, home physiotherapy visits can also help to:

• Reduce the risk of falls and other accidents: As a physiotherapist, we can help you identify and address hazards in your homes that could lead to falls or other accidents.

• Improve mobility and independence: As a physiotherapist, we can help you improve your strength, balance, and coordination. This can lead to improved mobility and independence, allowing patients to live more active and fulfilling lives.

• Reduce pain and improve function: Physiotherapists can use a variety of techniques to reduce pain and improve function in patients with a variety of conditions.

• Provide education and support: Physiotherapists can educate patients about their condition and how to manage it at home. They can also provide support and encouragement to help patients stay motivated to achieve their goals.

Overall, home physiotherapy visits are an important part of Athos Physio's physiotherapy service. We are able to offer a number of benefits for our patients, including convenience, accessibility, continuity of care, and personalized treatment at your space.
