Overview

What this care covers

Community physiotherapy brings rehabilitation services to where people live, work and gather. It focuses on making care accessible for people with disabilities, chronic conditions, or limited mobility who cannot easily reach a clinic. Whether delivered at home, in a community centre, or through group programmes, the aim is to improve function, promote independence, and support social participation.
