Why home physiotherapy works better in Sri Lanka
Recovery happens where your loved one lives.
For stroke survivors, post-surgical patients, and the elderly across Colombo and Kandy, getting to a physiotherapy clinic is exhausting — and sometimes impossible. The journey itself can undo the benefit of the session.
Physiotherapy at home removes that barrier entirely. The physiotherapist works with your loved one in their real environment — practising the actual stairs they climb, the bathroom they use, and the bed they transfer from. This is rehabilitation that translates directly to daily life.
- No travel fatigue — critical for stroke and post-surgical patients
- Exercises practised in the exact home setting where they are needed
- Physiotherapist assesses real stairs, bathroom, and kitchen mobility
- Higher exercise compliance than clinic-based programmes
- One-to-one attention for the full 60–90 minute session
- Family trained to support exercises between visits
Conditions we treat with home physiotherapy
Specialist rehabilitation for every condition.
Each condition needs a different rehabilitation approach. BetterHands matches a physiotherapist with the right specialist experience — not a generalist.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in Sri Lanka. Home physiotherapy restores walking, arm function, balance, and independence in the familiar setting where recovery is fastest.
- Gait & walking retraining
- Limb strengthening
- Spasticity management
- Balance & coordination work
Joint Replacement Recovery
After hip or knee replacement at Asiri, Nawaloka, or Lanka Hospitals, structured physiotherapy at home restores range of motion, strength, and safe mobility — without exhausting clinic visits.
- Range-of-motion restoration
- Progressive strengthening
- Stair & transfer training
- Pain & swelling management
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease requires ongoing physiotherapy to manage rigidity, freezing episodes, and falls risk. Home sessions maintain mobility and confidence as the condition progresses.
- Gait & freezing management
- Balance & fall prevention
- Posture correction
- Functional movement training
Chronic Back & Joint Pain
Chronic back pain, frozen shoulder, and arthritis respond well to structured home physiotherapy — core strengthening, posture correction, and manual therapy in your own home.
- Core strengthening
- Posture correction
- Manual therapy
- Pain relief techniques
Neurological Rehabilitation
Multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré, spinal injury, and nerve damage all benefit from specialist home neuro-physiotherapy — restoring movement patterns and preventing secondary complications.
- Movement pattern retraining
- Spasticity & tone management
- Functional rehabilitation
- Contracture prevention
Post-Surgical & Sports Recovery
After orthopaedic surgery, fracture repair, or sports injury, home physiotherapy guides safe, progressive recovery — returning patients to full function with expert supervision.
- Post-op mobilisation
- Scar & tissue management
- Progressive loading
- Return-to-activity planning

Frequently asked questions
Questions about physiotherapy at home in Sri Lanka.
No referral is required to book physiotherapy at home with BetterHands. However, if you have a referral, physiotherapy prescription, or hospital discharge summary, our physiotherapist will follow those clinical recommendations. For insurance coverage, a physician's referral is typically needed — our coordinator can advise.
BetterHands physiotherapists bring a standard treatment kit including therapeutic resistance bands, massage and mobilisation tools, exercise aids, and balance equipment. For complex rehabilitation requiring larger equipment, the physiotherapist recommends specific home adaptations or safe alternatives using household items.
Yes — stroke rehabilitation is among the most common reasons families request home physiotherapy. Recovery is often faster at home because the patient practises walking, transfers, and daily tasks in their real environment. Our physiotherapists coordinate with the treating neurologist and train the family to support exercises between sessions.
For most orthopaedic surgeries — hip replacement, knee replacement, fracture repair — physiotherapy begins within days of discharge from Asiri, Nawaloka, Lanka Hospitals, or Teaching Hospital Kandy, following the surgeon's protocol. Early, guided mobilisation significantly improves recovery outcomes and reduces complications.
Several Sri Lankan insurers — including AIA, Ceylinco Life, and Union Assurance — cover physiotherapy under outpatient or domiciliary treatment clauses, typically requiring a physician's referral. BetterHands physiotherapists provide session documentation and progress reports suitable for insurance reimbursement claims.
