Physiotherapy home visits in Liverpool

Liverpool's centre is dense and getting denser, with apartment blocks around the station and the hospital sitting at the middle of everything. A large share of the people we see here are in the weeks after a discharge, when a program written on a ward meets a home that does not quite match it.

The apartment stock brings its own issues. Building access needs sorting before the first visit, there is rarely a hallway long enough to practise a proper walk, and a wet tiled bathroom is a bigger hazard than any staircase.
