Stroke Rehabilitation Physiotherapy in Your Own Home

Experiencing a stroke can significantly impact your mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Recovery is a journey, and specialist physiotherapy is crucial for regaining lost function and confidence. At Medella Home Physio & OT, we specialise in providing expert stroke rehabilitation physiotherapy entirely within the comfort and convenience of your own home or care home setting across Hampshire and Dorset.

Our dedicated home-visit service means you don’t face the stress and difficulty of travelling to a clinic. Receiving therapy in your familiar surroundings allows our physiotherapists to tailor exercises and strategies directly to your everyday environment, helping you practise essential movements like navigating your own stairs, getting in and out of your favourite chair, or moving around your kitchen safely. This real-world approach often leads to faster, more meaningful improvements in daily function.

Our experienced physiotherapists use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs post-stroke. Treatment may include:

• Mobility Practice: Exercises focused on improving walking quality, safety, and endurance.
• Transfer Training: Practising safe and efficient ways to move, such as getting in and out of bed, chairs, or the car.
• Balance Retraining: Specific exercises to improve stability and reduce the risk of falls.
• Strengthening Exercises: Targeted exercises to rebuild muscle strength affected by the stroke.
• Upper Limb Rehabilitation: Activities to improve arm and hand function for daily tasks.
• Spasticity Management Advice: Strategies to help manage muscle stiffness or tightness.
• Functional Task Practice: Relearning or adapting daily activities like dressing or making a cup of tea.
• Advice and Education: Guidance on managing fatigue, preventing falls, and using mobility aids if necessary.
• Caregiver Training: Providing guidance to family members or carers on how best to support your rehabilitation.
