Home-Based Physiotherapy in Burlington
Recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or living with mobility challenges can make it difficult to attend in-clinic sessions. At Cogent Rehab Burlington, we bring professional physiotherapy care directly to your home, ensuring you get the treatment you need in a safe, convenient, and familiar environment.
​
Our home-based physiotherapy services are designed for seniors, post-surgical patients, individuals with mobility limitations, and anyone who prefers the comfort of receiving care at home.
What is Home-Based Physiotherapy?
Home physiotherapy is a personalized rehabilitation program delivered by licensed physiotherapists in the patient’s own home. It focuses on:
-
Restoring movement and independence
-
Managing pain safely at home
-
Preventing falls and improving balance
-
Supporting recovery after surgery or hospitalization
-
Providing family and caregiver education
This service ensures that patients who cannot travel easily still receive the same level of high-quality, evidence-based care as they would in our clinic.

Why Choose Cogent Rehab for Home Physiotherapy
Unlike many home care physiotherapy providers, Cogent Rehab Burlington offers both in-home physiotherapy and treatment at our fully equipped clinic. This unique model allows us to support patients throughout every stage of their recovery.
-
Home Visits: For those recovering after surgery, living with mobility challenges, or simply more comfortable at home, we bring physiotherapy care directly to you.
-
Clinic-Based Care: As patients progress, they can access our Burlington clinic, equipped with specialized rehab tools and equipment that aren’t available in the home setting.
-
Seamless Continuity: Transitioning from home to clinic (or combining both) ensures a smooth recovery journey, without needing to switch providers.
This combination of home convenience + clinic resources makes Cogent Rehab the right choice for patients who want flexibility, personalized care, and comprehensive rehabilitation options.
