What to Expect From a First Home Physiotherapy Visit
A first physiotherapy visit is usually focused on understanding the patient’s current function, goals and limitations before building an appropriate rehabilitation plan.
Share the clinical context
Keep relevant discharge or referral information available where applicable, especially after surgery, fracture or neurological illness.
Expect a functional assessment
The physiotherapist may review mobility, balance, movement, strength and the practical challenges of the home environment.
Agree on realistic goals
Goals may focus on safer walking, strength, range of motion, daily activities or gradual return to function.
Follow the professional plan
Exercise selection and progression should be individualised rather than copied from a generic online routine.
