The Procedure.

 

An initial conversation with a therapist will determine whether LA Physio - therapy at home, is suitable for your needs.  If so, an appointment for an initial assessment can be made.

 

​Initial Assessment (45 mins - 1 hour max)

 

During this visit the therapist will take a detailed history of the condition and carry out a physical examination.They will also ask about your past medical history, current medications and details of relevant social history.  All information given is strictly private and confidential.

 

The results of the initial assessment will be discussed fully with you together with treatment plans and options.

 

Treatment goals will then be set in agreement with the client.

 

Subsequent Treatments (20-35 mins max)

 

Treatments will then be carried out as per the agreed plan, and could consist of

 

• exercise programmes to increase muscle strength, maintain and improve joint range of movement and improve balance.

• work to improve mobility and stamina

• environmental assessment

• advice on equipment and services that may help you

 

During each session results of the previous session will be assessed, goals, plans and outcomes reviewed and treatment plans modified as required.
