Physiotherapy received in the home after hospital discharge

"Physiotherapy received in the home after hospital discharge"

About: SMHS Rehabilitation In The Home (RITH)

(as the patient),

After my hospital stay, I was referred to rehabilitation in the home to receive physiotherapy to help me get my strength back into my legs.

I had a fall and had fracture the top of my femur on my right leg.

At first I did not want to do it as I felt unwell, but they explained to me it would help strengthen my legs so I could become mobile again.

I received home exercise program that physiotherapist Michelle directed me, and I was very happy with the assistance and help she gave me.

I have improved a lot and can now walk better with my 4 wheel walker.

Overall I had a good experience.
