title: Home physiotherapy for the average patient.
abstract: The physiotherapist's work is most rewarding when the patient attends regularly for all the required treatments and exercises. This allows the physiotherapist to see the progress and to adjust the treatment accordingly to suit each individual patient. There is nothing more depressing than the patient who would benefit most from such physiotherapy, but who will not or cannot attend regularly for treatment. It is with this type of patient in mind that the physiotherapist must consider the alternatives which are available, to ensure the maximum return of function and the prevention of complications in the patient.
