What is stroke rehabilitation at home?
Stroke rehabilitation at home is a programme of therapy delivered at the patient's home to help them regain movement, balance and independence after a stroke. A physiotherapist works on strength, walking, balance and arm and hand function through repeated, goal-directed practice, and teaches the family how to help safely between sessions.
A stroke can affect movement on one side of the body (hemiplegia), balance, sensation, speech, swallowing and memory. Recovery is different for every person. Many people make the most noticeable progress in the first months after a stroke, but improvement can continue for much longer with continued practice.
Home rehabilitation lets the patient practise exactly what they need: getting out of their own bed, walking to their own bathroom, climbing the stairs at home. Our physiotherapists also apply the same approach to other neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, Guillain-Barré syndrome and recovery after brain surgery.
Neuro rehabilitation we provide at home
Arm and hand function
- Exercises to improve shoulder, arm and hand movement.
- Task practice such as reaching, grasping and using utensils.
- Positioning of the weak arm to protect the shoulder.
Muscle tone and joint care

Does Ashok Healthcare provide speech or occupational therapy?
Speech, language and swallowing difficulties should be assessed by a qualified speech-language pathologist, and occupational therapy can help with daily living skills. Our physiotherapists will advise when these specialists are needed.

Frequently asked questions
When should rehabilitation start after a stroke?
Rehabilitation usually starts in hospital once the patient is medically stable, and should continue after discharge. Follow your doctor's advice on when home therapy can begin.
Can stroke rehabilitation be done effectively at home?
Yes, for many patients. Home rehabilitation allows practice of real daily tasks in the patient's own environment. Patients with complex needs may also need input from other specialists.
How long does stroke recovery take?
Recovery varies widely. Many people improve most in the first months, but progress can continue for a long time with regular practice. We cannot predict or promise a specific outcome.
How often should sessions happen?
Early on, more frequent sessions are often helpful. The physiotherapist will suggest a frequency after assessment and adjust it as you progress.
Can you help with speech or swallowing problems?
These need assessment by a qualified speech-language pathologist.
Do you treat Parkinson's disease?
Yes. Physiotherapy can help with balance, walking and everyday movements for people with Parkinson's disease.
Can family members learn the exercises?
Yes. We encourage family members and attendants to learn safe ways to help, so practice continues between sessions.
How much does neuro rehabilitation at home cost?
Costs depend on the frequency and number of sessions. Contact us for an assessment.
Can you also provide a nurse or attendant?
Yes. Many stroke patients need nursing or attendant care alongside therapy, and we can arrange both.
