Home Physiotherapy in Limmattal & Zurich

When health reasons make a clinic visit impossible, PhysioWelt in Schlieren comes to you. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or undergoing rehabilitation, our experienced therapists provide professional, one-on-one care exactly where you feel most comfortable. Home visits (domiciliary treatments) are noted on your prescription in consultation with your doctor, provided they are deemed medically necessary.

What is Home Treatment?

Home treatment (medically known as Domizilbehandlung) refers to physiotherapy performed directly at the patient's home or another suitable location outside the practice. This service is of great value to people who have difficulty visiting our practice due to:

• Limited mobility: For patients unable to leave home or requiring significant assistance to travel.
• Post-operative recovery: When immediate restrictions after surgery make travel to a clinic difficult.
• Chronic conditions: For those with long-term health issues that impact their ability to commute.

Our home visit service is designed to keep your recovery on track, even when you are unable to attend the clinic. It is part of our dedication to providing accessible care throughout the Zurich and Limmattal regions. For locations more than 15 minutes away, we will have a brief discussion with you to ensure that a home visit is the most practical option for your care.

Who Benefits from Home Visits?

Our home physiotherapy service is ideal for patients who:

• Are recovering from orthopedic surgery, such as a hip or knee replacement.
• Have neurological conditions, such as Stroke rehabilitation or Parkinson’s disease.
• Live with chronic diseases that severely limit mobility.
• Are elderly and require assistance with fall prevention or balance training.
• Require palliative or long-term care in a nursing home or senior residence.

Whether for yourself or a loved one, in Zurich and the Limmattal region, our team is there to support you with trustworthy, local care.

Benefits of Home Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy at home with PhysioWelt offers distinct advantages to make your recovery smoother:

• Unmatched Comfort: Receive professional therapy without leaving your house, saving time and physical effort.
• Personalized Attention: In private sessions, your therapist focuses entirely on your specific needs.
• Real-World Training: We practice exercises in your actual living environment (e.g., navigating your own stairs), which helps integrate recovery into your daily routine and boosts independence.
• Faster Recovery: Regular, easily accessible treatment often leads to better healing outcomes, especially after surgery.
• Privacy & Familiarity: Many patients feel safer and more relaxed in their own surroundings, facilitating better focus on therapy.
