In short
- A physio can hold the session at your home when getting to a clinic is hard.
- The WHO lists a person’s home among the places where rehabilitation can happen.
- Each physio sets their own home price. Ask before the first session.
- Have a clear space, a steady chair and your medical papers ready.
After surgery, with age or with limited mobility, getting to a clinic can take real effort. A physiotherapist can come to you instead. This page explains who a home visit suits, how the session goes and what to prepare. It also covers how the price is set and how to find a home-visit physio in your city.
A home session suits people who find it hard to get out
According to the WHO, rehabilitation can take place in hospital, in a clinic or in a person’s home. Anyone may need it after an injury, surgery or illness, or as they get older.
The UK’s NHS says a physio may visit you at home if your condition stops you travelling. It adds that people of all ages can have physio, children and older people included.
- After surgery, while walking or using stairs is still hard.
- An older person who rarely leaves the house.
- Limited mobility after a stroke or with a neurological condition.
- Parents of a newborn, when going out with the baby is difficult.
- A busy person who would rather skip the commute and the waiting room.
Your physio tells you if your rehabilitation can happen at home
Home is not always the right place. Some exercises need equipment that stays at the clinic. Your physio will say so at first contact.
Your doctor makes the diagnosis and prescribes the sessions. If your condition changes, see your doctor again.
A home session follows the same steps as one at the clinic
Morocco’s Law 45-13 describes the physio’s work as manual acts or acts using devices. They aim to rehabilitate, ease pain and restore lost abilities. At home, the physio does the same work with the kit they bring.
The first session starts with an assessment. The physio reads the prescription and your reports, asks questions and watches how you move. You then agree on goals together.
Later sessions mix exercises, joint work and advice for daily life. The physio often leaves you exercises to do between visits. A relative can stay in the room, especially at first.
A clear corner and your papers are enough to start
Getting the room ready before the physio arrives saves time in the session. Tell them about the floor, the lift and parking too.
- A clear space in the room, with no rug that slips.
- A firm bed or sofa, and a steady chair with a back.
- Loose clothes that let the area being treated move.
- The prescription, surgery reports and X-rays.
- A list of the treatments you take now, to show the physio.
- A relative at hand if the patient struggles to stand up alone.
At home, each physio sets the price of a session
No reliable public source gives an average price for a home physio session in Morocco. Each physio sets their own price, which covers travel. Ask before the first session, and ask whether distance changes it.
For refunds, CNOPS works from a national reference tariff per session. Its page says nothing about refunding travel. Rates and figures are in our guide to physiotherapy prices.
