Physiotherapy at Home

Home physiotherapy sessions start from AED 399 per visit. The fee includes a 45 to 60 minute session with assessment, manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and a home exercise programme. Multi-session packages are available at reduced per-session rates for patients requiring ongoing rehabilitation. Insurance coverage is available through most major UAE providers including Daman, AXA, Bupa, Cigna, and MetLife — pre-authorisation is typically required. Self-pay patients receive itemised invoices for reimbursement claims.

Our home physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions including lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, tennis and golfer's elbow, knee ligament injuries, post-fracture rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery after joint replacement or spinal surgery, sports injuries, stroke and neurological rehabilitation, Parkinson's disease mobility management, elderly balance and fall prevention, arthritis, chronic pain conditions, and repetitive strain injuries. The physiotherapist assesses your condition during the first visit and designs a targeted programme.

The number of sessions depends on your condition and its severity. A straightforward muscle strain may resolve in 3 to 5 sessions over two weeks. Post-surgical rehabilitation such as knee replacement or ACL repair typically requires 12 to 20 sessions over 6 to 12 weeks. Stroke rehabilitation may involve ongoing sessions over several months. Chronic conditions like persistent back pain or arthritis often benefit from an initial intensive phase of 6 to 8 sessions followed by monthly maintenance. Your physiotherapist provides an honest estimate after the initial assessment.

Research shows that home-based physiotherapy produces outcomes comparable to clinic-based treatment for most conditions, and in some cases may be more effective because patients are more compliant with programmes designed around their actual living environment. Our physiotherapists use portable equipment and adapt exercises to your home space, ensuring your rehabilitation programme is practical and sustainable. The main advantage of clinic-based physiotherapy is access to specialised equipment such as ultrasound machines and gym apparatus — for patients who need these, we coordinate combined home and clinic programmes.

Yes, most of our home physiotherapy patients book recurring sessions as part of a structured rehabilitation programme. After your initial assessment, the physiotherapist recommends a frequency — typically once or twice per week during the active treatment phase, then reducing to weekly or fortnightly as you progress. We offer flexible scheduling including morning, afternoon, and weekend slots. Standing weekly appointments can be reserved to guarantee consistent timing throughout your programme.

In most cases, you can book home physiotherapy directly without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans require a referral for coverage approval. If you are recovering from surgery, your surgeon's post-operative rehabilitation protocol is helpful for your physiotherapist to review. If you do not have a referral but need one for insurance purposes, our doctor on call service can provide a home consultation and referral letter, often coordinated the same day. Our team checks your insurance requirements when you book to avoid any delays.
