Domiciliary treatment, also known as home visit therapy or mobile therapy, is a form of physical therapy care in which qualified physical therapists or health care professionals come directly to the patient’s home or other desired location to provide therapeutic services. This form of treatment is particularly useful for patients who are unable to attend a physical therapy practice due to illness, injury, mobility limitations, or other reasons.
