Who benefits from home visit physiotherapy?
Many people benefit from physiotherapy but face barriers getting to a clinic. Our home visit service is designed to support:
People after surgery: such as hip and knee replacements, fractures, spinal surgery or other orthopaedic procedures.
Older adults and falls risk: if you feel unsteady on your feet, have had a recent fall, or are worried about your balance, home-based rehab allows us to assess and treat you safely in your own environment.
Neurological conditions: including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and peripheral neuropathy, where practising movements in your own home can make rehab more relevant and effective.
Chronic and complex conditions: such as arthritis, chronic pain, respiratory and cardiac conditions, where fatigue or breathlessness can make travel difficult.
People with reduced mobility or disability: if you use mobility aids, require assistance to leave home, or experience significant pain with travel, in-home care can make a big difference.
Busy carers and families: avoid the stress of organising transport, parking and waiting rooms. We come to you, at a time that suits your routine.
If getting to a clinic is challenging for any reason, our in-home physiotherapy can help you continue your rehab without interruption.

How mobile physiotherapy works with Fortius
Book your visit
Book online or call us. Let us know your suburb, your situation and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll match you with the right mobile physiotherapist for your goals.
Initial home assessment
Your physiotherapist visits your home for a thorough assessment – your history, current condition, mobility, strength, balance and home environment. We’ll explain what’s going on and agree on goals together.
Treatment in your home
Your treatment plan is delivered in your home using the equipment available, supplemented with simple tools we bring. You receive the same techniques used in our clinics – manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, taping, dry needling where appropriate.
Home exercise program & follow-up
Between visits, you continue with a structured home exercise program designed specifically for your environment and goals. Your physiotherapist tracks progress and adjusts the plan as you recover.
Our Specialties
Pre & Post-surgical
Rehabilitation & Screening
Pre-surgical rehabilitation ("prehab") helps optimize strength, mobility, and conditioning before surgery, improving recovery outcomes. Post-surgical rehab focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing complications through mobility exercises, pain management, and progressive strengthening. Both phases aim to enhance recovery, improve overall function, and support a safe return to daily activities.
Chronic Pain Management
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in chronic pain management by focusing on pain education, helping individuals understand pain mechanisms and reduce fear-avoidance behaviours. Through targeted exercise therapy, manual techniques, and movement retraining, it improves strength, flexibility, and overall function. By addressing both physical and psychological aspects of pain, physiotherapy empowers individuals to move confidently and manage pain effectively in daily life.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries range from acute sprains and strains to overuse conditions like tendonitis. Physiotherapy plays a key role in recovery by reducing pain, restoring mobility, and preventing re-injury through tailored exercises, hands-on therapy, and movement retraining. It also focuses on injury prevention and performance enhancement, helping athletes return to sport safely and efficiently.
Home Visit Physiotherapy
Regaining your strength, mobility and confidence is always easier when you feel safe and comfortable. That’s why Fortius Allied Health now offers a dedicated home visit physiotherapy and rehabilitation service – bringing our expert care directly to you.Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply finding it harder to get out and about, our mobile physiotherapists provide the same high-quality, evidence-based care you receive in our clinics, delivered in the convenience of your own home.
Return to Work Assessments
As a registered WorkCover QLD provider, our return-to-work assessments are designed to help you safely transition back to your job after an injury or surgery. Our physiotherapists evaluate your physical capabilities, work demands, and any potential challenges you may face in your specific role.
