In-Home Physiotherapy Can Help People post Stroke (CVA)
A stroke happens most commonly when a blood clot or piece of plaque in an artery blocks blood and oxygen flow to a part of the brain causing damage. People who have had a stroke may have very different symptoms and deficits depending on which part of the brain was damaged. No two stroke experiences look exactly the same. We will complete an individualized assessment and provide 1:1 treatment to support you on your journey as you leave the hospital or rehabilitation centre and return home. We can help you and your family members on your stroke recovery journey.

What to expect
- The physiotherapist will come to your home, office or any other location that is convenient to you!
- The therapist will need to ask you questions about your health history and current problem or injury. You can expect this to take 10 to 20 minutes.
- As physiotherapists are licensed-health care professionals and are legally required to take real-time notes for medical-legal purposes, the therapist will be typing on a computer or tablet using our secure electronic medical records system during your session. The servers for our electronic records system are in Canada.
- Please have ready any doctor’s referral note, diagnostic imaging reports or your list of medications handy.
- The therapist may need about 4 x 8 feet of space to set up the portable bed to provide a thorough assessment.
- The therapist will need to put their hands on you. It is a good idea to wear shorts or a sleeveless top to provide the best assessment and treatment possible.
- The therapist will likely prescribe home exercises and make recommendations for making you feel better. It will be important for you to follow this advice for achieving optimal outcome.
- The assessment session will last 1 to 1.25 hours. Treatment sessions are 50 minutes to 1 hour long.
- Please note that the time required to conduct requested or necessary communication to doctors, family members or third parties will be included in your 1-hour session.
