Do I need a doctor's referral for home physiotherapy?

A referral is not always required, but if your loved one is under a doctor's care we like to see discharge notes or a referral so the therapy plan matches their medical history.

How many sessions will be needed?

It depends on the condition and the goals. After the first assessment the therapist recommends a number of sessions per week and reviews progress regularly, adjusting the plan as recovery moves along.

Is home physiotherapy as effective as going to a clinic?

For many people, yes. Most recovery exercises need little equipment, and practising in the real home environment often makes everyday skills easier to regain. If specialised equipment is needed, the therapist will advise.

Do you offer speech therapy for children?

Yes. Our speech therapists work with children who have speech or language delays, as well as adults recovering from a stroke or brain injury.

What equipment do we need at home?

Usually very little. The therapist brings what is needed for sessions and advises on simple aids, such as grab rails or a walking frame, that would help.

Can a caregiver continue the exercises between sessions?

Yes, and we encourage it. The therapist shows family members or caregivers how to support the exercises safely between visits.

Specialized Therapies at Home in Nairobi – Physiotherapy, Occupational and Speech Therapy

Recovery happens where you live. A patient who relearns to climb their own stairs, reach their own kitchen shelves and walk to their own gate recovers more practically than one who only exercises in a clinic. Makao Home Care brings licensed therapists to your home in Nairobi for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallowing therapy, and nutrition support, so patients avoid painful trips across town and train in the environment they actually need to manage.

Our therapists work with adults recovering from stroke, surgery or injury; older people losing strength and balance; and children with developmental and neurological conditions.
