Resistance bands, foam rollers, assessment tools, treatment table — everything brought to you.

Education & self-management

Who it's for

Mobile physiotherapy is ideally suited for

Some patients benefit more than others from in-home or workplace care. If any of the below sounds like you, mobile physio might be the right fit.

Older adults

Reduced mobility or transport challenges

Avoid the stress and physical toll of travel. Receive specialist care for falls prevention, balance, and chronic conditions in the safety of your own home.

Post-surgery

Recovering from a procedure

Whether it's a hip or knee replacement, shoulder reconstruction, or another procedure — start your rehab without needing to travel while still in early recovery.

Busy parents

Caring for kids or family at home

Skip the childcare juggle. Receive your physio appointment at home while the kids nap, after school, or whenever fits your schedule.

Aged care residents

Living in a residential facility

Emil visits aged care facilities across Canberra, providing physiotherapy for residents with chronic conditions, post-fall recovery, and functional rehab.

Chronic pain

Pain that flares with travel

If sitting in a car or waiting in a clinic worsens your symptoms, in-home care eliminates that barrier — and means we can assess movement in your real environment.

Workplace assessment

Office or workplace ergonomics

Have a recurring back, neck, or RSI issue from your work setup? Emil can visit your workplace to assess your environment and provide targeted care.

Not sure if mobile physio is right for you? Send Emil a quick message describing your situation — he'll honestly recommend whether mobile, in-clinic, or telehealth would suit you best.

Mobile physio FAQ

Common questions about mobile physio

Logistics, what to expect, and what's needed for a successful mobile visit.

Q. What space do I need to have ready at home?
A clear floor area roughly 2m × 2m is ideal — enough room for assessment, exercise, and a portable treatment table if needed. A living room, bedroom floor, or even a clear garage space all work well. Emil will let you know if anything specific is needed before the visit.
Q. What equipment does Emil bring?
Emil brings everything needed for assessment and treatment, including: portable treatment table (for hands-on work), resistance bands, foam rollers, balance equipment, and assessment tools. You don't need to provide anything.
Q. How long is a mobile appointment?
Initial consults are 60 minutes. Follow-up reviews are typically 45 minutes. Both include time for full assessment, treatment, and discussion of your plan — no rushed slots.
Q. Can I claim mobile physio through my health fund?
Yes — Emil issues a tax invoice after each session which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Most major funds offer instant online claiming. HICAPS is not available for mobile visits — only in-clinic appointments support on-the-spot claiming.
Q. What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated. Activewear is perfect. If we're working on a knee or hip, shorts or loose tracksuit pants work best. If it's a shoulder, a singlet or tank top.
Q. Can mobile physio be done at my workplace?
Yes — Emil regularly visits workplaces. This works particularly well for ergonomic assessments, post-injury return-to-work plans, or simply for the convenience of a lunchtime appointment. A meeting room or quiet office space is usually sufficient.
Q. Are there any travel fees?
Travel is included in the standard mobile physio fee for all suburbs within Canberra ACT. For visits outside the standard coverage area (e.g. interstate border regions), additional travel may apply — this will be discussed and agreed in advance.
Q. How quickly can I book a mobile visit?
Same-day or next-day visits are often available within Emil's primary coverage zone (Canberra North Side). For other suburbs, expect bookings within 2–5 days depending on availability. Urgent post-surgical or post-fall visits are prioritised.
