What Is Mobile Physiotherapy — And Is It Right for You?

Mobile physiotherapy is exactly what it sounds like — a qualified physiotherapist comes to you, rather than you travelling to a clinic. The treatment you receive is identical to what you'd get in a clinic setting: a full assessment, hands-on manual therapy, and a personalised exercise program. The difference is that it happens at your home, workplace, or wherever is most convenient for you.

How does a home visit work?

You book an appointment online or by phone. Seth arrives at your door with all the equipment needed — treatment table, theraband, assessment tools. A first appointment runs for 60 minutes and covers a full history of your condition, a physical assessment, and the beginning of hands-on treatment. Follow-up appointments are 45 minutes and focus on treatment and exercise progression.

Who is mobile physio best suited for?

• People with busy schedules who can't easily get to a clinic during working hours
• Older adults or those with limited mobility who find travel difficult or painful
• Post-surgical patients in early recovery who have been advised to limit movement
• Parents with young children who can't easily leave the house
• Anyone recovering from an injury that makes driving uncomfortable
• People who simply prefer the convenience and privacy of home-based care

Is the quality of treatment the same?

Yes. Mobile physiotherapy is not a compromised version of clinic care — it is the same service delivered in a different setting. The assessment, clinical reasoning, manual therapy, and exercise prescription are all identical. In some ways a home visit is more thorough, because Seth can see your actual environment: your desk setup, your mattress, the stairs you climb every day, the floor surfaces you walk on.

What does it cost and is it covered by health insurance?

An initial assessment is $180 (60 mins). Follow-up consultations are $140 (45 mins). All fees include travel to your home across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Most Australian health funds with physiotherapy extras cover home visits — you can claim on the spot via HICAPS and only pay the gap. No referral is required.
