In the modern world, where an increasing number of people lead fast-paced and stressful lives, access to quality healthcare must be simple, flexible and tailored to the patient's needs. That is why more and more patients in Belgrade are using the service of a physiotherapist coming to their home address. This type of therapy represents a combination of top expertise and comfort - the patient remains in a familiar and safe space, while therapeutic assistance comes directly to him.

Physical therapy at home is not reserved only for patients with limited mobility or the elderly - on the contrary, it is ideal for anyone who wants personalized and dedicated treatment without crowds, waiting and transportation. Find out below when home therapy is recommended, what are the most common symptoms, causes of the problem, as well as what types of treatments our therapists apply.

Physiotherapy at home is intended for a wide range of patients - from those with acute back pain, to people in postoperative recovery, to patients with neurological disorders who need continuous monitoring and guided exercises.

The most common indications for home therapy include:

• Acute or chronic neck, back or joint pain
• Recovery after knee, hip, spine or fracture surgery
• Post-stroke conditions (paresis, hemiparesis)
• Parkinson's disease and similar neurological syndromes
• Loss of functionality due to prolonged bed rest
• Need for regular exercise, but unable to come to the office

For many patients, especially the elderly and those with reduced mobility, this type of therapy is the key to maintaining independence and quality of life.

Pain, stiffness, and limited mobility are the most common alarms that the body sends when there is a problem with the musculoskeletal system. In patients treated at home, the most common symptoms include:

• Severe back and neck pain, which increases with movement
• Numbness in the arms or legs, a feeling of weakness in the muscles
• Problems with walking, instability, and loss of balance
• Difficulty sitting, standing, dressing, and other basic
  activities
• Pain that radiates from the spine to the extremities (radiculopathy, sciatica)
• Joint stiffness, reduced flexibility

If these symptoms are ignored, they can lead to permanent functional impairment. The first visit to a physiotherapist at home usually includes a functional assessment and the development of an individual therapy plan.

• Herniated Disc
• Neurological Disorders
• Trauma and Injuries
• Reduced Physical Activity

Modern lifestyle, physical inactivity and prolonged sitting are the main risk factors for the development of musculoskeletal problems. However, in patients who require home therapy, the causes are often additionally complicated:

• Degenerative changes (herniated disc, spondylosis, osteoarthritis)
• Postoperative recovery (joint replacement, spinal surgery)
• Neurological disorders (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's)
• Trauma and injuries (falls, fractures, contusions)
• Reduced physical activity and prolonged periods of lying down
• Obesity and joint strain
• Improper posture and mechanical loads during work

A proper understanding of the causes allows for more precise setting of therapeutic goals and long-term prevention of recurrence of symptoms.

A physiotherapist at your home address comes equipped with the basic equipment and knowledge to provide a full therapeutic service in your home. The first visit usually includes a condition assessment, mobility testing and agreement on a therapeutic goal.

The types of therapy we provide at home include:

• Manual therapy and massage – for muscle relaxation and pain relief
• Kinesitherapy – guided stretching, strengthening and balance exercises
• Exercises for neurological rehabilitation – especially for patients after a stroke
• Exercises for the elderly – maintaining mobility, preventing falls
• Education of the family – how to help the patient between therapist visits
• Electrotherapy (by appointment and as needed, if the patient has the conditions)

All treatments are adapted to the patient’s real capabilities and planned to enable gradual but safe improvement of the condition.
