Stroke rehabilitation at home

Why home is the right setting for stroke rehab

Recovery after a stroke depends on practising the movements you actually need at home — getting out of your own bed, reaching the kitchen counter you actually use, crossing your own doorstep. A home programme trains you in the real environment, which transfers better than clinic-only practice. It also removes the exhaustion and risk of getting to a hospital appointment.

How our stroke programmes work

Your first session is a thorough assessment — strength, tone, balance, speech of movement, sensation, and what matters most to you. From there we build a weekly plan with hands-on therapy, task-specific practice (sit-to-stand, walking, reaching), and a home exercise list your family can support between visits. We reassess every 4 weeks and adjust.

Working with your medical team

We're a physiotherapy service, not a substitute for your neurologist. With your permission we share session notes with your consultant or GP so the medical plan and the rehab plan stay aligned. If we spot a red flag — new weakness, sudden confusion, severe headache — we'll tell you to seek urgent care immediately.

Frequently asked

How soon after a stroke should physiotherapy start?

As early as is safe — often within days of hospital discharge. Early, consistent rehab gives the best chance of recovering movement.

How often should home stroke rehab sessions happen?

Most programmes start at 3–5 sessions per week and taper as the patient recovers, with daily home exercises in between.

Can family members be part of the session?

Yes — and they should be. Carers learn safe transfers, exercise cues, and how to spot setbacks early.

Do you accept patients with severe mobility loss?

Yes. Home visits are often the only practical option for patients who can't comfortably travel to a clinic.
