How We Help

Our private physiotherapy and occupational therapy home visits support people who find it difficult or stressful to travel to a clinic — and families arranging care for loved ones.

A therapist kneels beside an older man in an armchair as he straightens one leg with an ankle weight on it.

We help with mobility, confidence and everyday independence after a fall, a stroke, surgery or a hospital stay.

Example: After a hip replacement, your physiotherapist rebuilds your strength and walking ability, while your occupational therapist ensures you can safely use your bathroom and get in and out of bed.

How Home Visits Can Help

  • Real-World Assessment We can assess your actual stairs, bathroom, and kitchen, and tailor practical advice to your home.
  • Flexible Timing Early mornings, afternoons, or around carer visits. Appointments that fit your routine.
  • Continuity of Care We aim for continuity with your therapist, helping us build trust and follow your progress. Your needs and therapist availability may mean another team member visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral for private home physiotherapy or OT?

No, you do not need a GP referral to book a home visit with Medella. You can contact us directly to arrange a free, no-obligation phone call to talk through your needs. If your GP or consultant has recommended physiotherapy or occupational therapy, tell us so we can coordinate your care.
