What this care covers
Community physiotherapy brings rehabilitation to where people live, work, and gather. It is designed for people with disabilities, chronic conditions, or limited mobility who cannot easily reach a clinic. Sessions happen at home, in a community centre, or through group programmes. The focus is practical: better movement, less pain, and the ability to manage daily life.
- Home visit and community outreach programmes
- Group rehabilitation and exercise sessions
- Disability management and adaptive strategies
- Education for families and carers

Modalities & equipment
These modalities may be used only where clinically appropriate and available. Your physiotherapist decides whether a modality is suitable after assessment. Not every physiotherapist offers every modality, and exercise, education, and self-management remain central to most physiotherapy plans.
