Questions about this service
How often should a bedridden patient have physiotherapy?
Usually 1–2 visits a week to start, and the physiotherapist teaches carers to move the joints and reposition the patient every day in between.
How does physiotherapy help prevent pressure sores?
By teaching regular turning and positioning, joint movement, and transfers that avoid dragging the skin. If a pressure sore has already formed, a doctor or nurse should care for the wound as well.
Will a bedridden patient walk again?
It depends on the cause and their condition. Some people progress to sitting up or walking. We set goals together with the family after the first assessment.
Weakness, slurred speech, facial droop or chest pain: call 1669 or go to emergency care.
