Physiotherapy at Home

Qualified physiotherapists help patients recover mobility, reduce pain, and regain independence — at home, without repeated clinic trips.

Fatima Home Nursing Care provides trained nurses, caregivers and physiotherapists at home in Karachi, Hyderabad, Islamabad & Lahore. To book this service, message us on WhatsApp.

Home physiotherapy covers stroke rehabilitation, orthopedic therapy, sports injury recovery, back and neck pain, and post-fracture rehab.

The physiotherapist works to the plan set by the patient's doctor, and supports the family in following the doctor's advice at home.

Physiotherapy is slow, steady work: repeated exercises, guided movement, and gradual progress over days and weeks. Doing it at home removes the hardest part for many patients — the journey to a clinic. The physiotherapist comes to the patient, works in the patient's own room, uses the furniture and space the patient actually lives with, and shows the family how to help between sessions.

What physiotherapy at home includes

Sessions are usually booked as a course — for example, several sessions a week for a few weeks — because physiotherapy works through repetition over time. One session rarely changes anything on its own; steady practice does. When you message us, tell us the patient's condition, what the doctor has advised, and whether the patient can sit, stand or walk. We will agree the session frequency with you and review progress as the patient improves.

An initial assessment of movement, strength, balance and pain, against the plan set by the patient's doctor.
Guided exercise sessions at home — stretching, strengthening and mobility exercises suited to the patient's condition.
Stroke rehabilitation — helping patients regain movement, balance and independence after a stroke, at the pace the doctor advises.
Orthopedic therapy — support after joint, bone or muscle problems, including recovery after a fracture once the doctor allows movement.
Back and neck pain care — guided exercises and movement advice for back and neck pain, following the doctor's plan.
Sports injury recovery — a gradual return to movement and strength after injury, as the doctor advises.
Walking and balance training — practising safe walking, standing and moving around the home, with support where needed.
Family training — showing the family how to help the patient practise exercises safely between sessions, and what to avoid.

Who physiotherapy at home is for

Home physiotherapy is for patients who need guided exercise and rehabilitation but find clinic trips difficult, painful or tiring. It suits elderly patients, patients recovering after surgery or a fracture, stroke patients, and anyone whose doctor has advised physiotherapy as part of recovery.

Stroke patients who need rehabilitation at home to regain movement, balance and independence.
Patients recovering after a fracture or orthopedic surgery, once the doctor allows movement and exercise.
Patients with back or neck pain whose doctor has advised physiotherapy and guided exercise.
Elderly patients who have become weak or unsteady and need help rebuilding strength and balance.
Sports injury patients who need a gradual, guided return to movement and strength.
Patients with long-term mobility problems who need regular, gentle exercise to stay as mobile as possible.

How a physiotherapy visit works

Booking: message us on WhatsApp with the patient's city and area, condition, and the doctor's advice. We confirm the first session.
Assessment: the physiotherapist assesses movement, strength, balance and pain, reads the doctor's plan, and agrees the goals with the patient and family.
Session: the physiotherapist guides the patient through exercises, helps with movement, and corrects technique so exercises are done safely.
Home practice: the physiotherapist shows the patient — and the family — which exercises to repeat between sessions, and how often.
Progress notes: improvement in movement, strength and balance is noted session by session, so the doctor can follow progress at review.
Review: the plan is reviewed with the family and, where needed, with the doctor — for example if pain increases or progress stalls.

Stop exercising and contact the doctor if there is sudden severe pain, new weakness or numbness, dizziness, breathlessness or chest pain, or if a joint or limb looks swollen, deformed or cannot bear weight after a fall. Physiotherapy should challenge the patient gently, never cause sudden severe pain. The physiotherapist will always work within the limits the doctor has set.

Safety and qualifications

Our physiotherapists are qualified professionals who work to the treatment plan set by the patient's doctor. The physiotherapist carries out the exercises and care the doctor advises, at home, and supports the family in following the doctor's advice between sessions.

The physiotherapist does not decide the treatment plan and does not diagnose. If the doctor has not set a plan, or if the patient's condition changes, the physiotherapist will advise a doctor's review before continuing or changing the exercises.

Fatima Home Nursing Care provides nursing, caregiver and physiotherapy staff at home. We do not provide diagnostic services, and we do not provide lab-test services. If a doctor asks for a test, an X-ray or a hospital review, that must be arranged through the doctor or a hospital.

Families can help by keeping a clear space for exercises, having a firm chair and a non-slip surface ready, encouraging the patient to practise the home exercises as advised, and telling the physiotherapist about any new pain or difficulty before the next session.

Frequently asked questions

Does the physiotherapist decide the treatment plan?

No — the treatment plan comes from the patient's doctor. The physiotherapist carries out the exercises and care the doctor advises, at home.

How many sessions will be needed?

That depends on the patient's condition and the doctor's plan. Physiotherapy works through repetition over time, so sessions are usually booked as a course and reviewed as the patient improves.

Can physiotherapy be done at home after a stroke?

Yes. Home physiotherapy is often used for stroke rehabilitation — helping patients regain movement, balance and independence at home, at the pace the doctor advises.

What should we have ready for a session?

A clear space for exercises, a firm chair, and a non-slip surface. The physiotherapist will tell you anything else that is needed for the patient's particular exercises.

What if an exercise causes pain?

Tell the physiotherapist straight away. Gentle effort is normal, but sudden severe pain is not. The physiotherapist will adjust the exercise and, if needed, advise a doctor's review.
