A Mobile Physiotherapist’s Morning Preparation: Ready to Hit the Road

They then guide the client through targeted exercises to strengthen hip muscles and improve mobility.

9:30 AM – Adapting Techniques: Next, the physiotherapist visits a young athlete with a sports injury. In the familiar surroundings of the client’s home, they adapt techniques to use available furniture and space, ensuring the athlete performs their rehabilitation exercises correctly and safely.

Mid-Morning: Continuous Care
