Home visit physiotherapy is available in Livingston and surrounding West Lothian areas for individuals whose mobility, balance or medical condition makes clinic attendance impractical or unsafe.

Delivering physiotherapy within the home environment allows assessment of real-world functional tasks such as transfers, stair use and mobility within confined spaces.

This service is primarily designed for neurological rehabilitation, significant mobility restriction or fall-risk management.

 

Situations Where Home Visits May Be Appropriate

Home-based physiotherapy may be suitable for:

• Stroke recovery with reduced mobility
   

• Progressive neurological conditions
   

• Significant balance impairment
   

• Individuals at risk of falls
   

• Recent hospital discharge
   

• Post-operative patients temporarily unable to travel
   

• Older adults with limited transport support
   

It is not generally intended for routine musculoskeletal appointments where clinic attendance is possible.

 

 

What a Home Visit Involves

A home visit includes:

• Full clinical assessment
   

• Functional mobility assessment within the home
   

• Balance and transfer evaluation
   

• Individualised rehabilitation planning
   

• Environmental considerations where relevant
   

Treatment may involve task-based training using the individual’s own layout, improving safety and independence.

 

Scheduling and Pricing

Home visits require advance booking and dedicated clinic time to be blocked.

Because time allocation and travel vary, pricing is confirmed individually following discussion of location and clinical needs.

Availability is limited to ensure appropriate time allocation and safe scheduling.
