Physio Home Visits in Dublin
Can't make it to the clinic? The Body Lab brings physiotherapy to you. We offer physio at home across Dublin for older adults, people recovering from surgery, and anyone who finds travel painful or difficult. You get the same one-to-one assessment and treatment as in our Ranelagh clinic, in your own home.
Our mobile physiotherapy service is led by Ghazi Al Qasem, a registered physiotherapist with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy.Who home visits are for?
Private physio home visits suit you if:
You are recovering from a hip, knee or shoulder operation and cannot drive yet
You have just come home from hospital and feel weaker or less steady
Pain or poor mobility makes travelling to a clinic hard
You care for a parent or relative who needs physio but cannot get out easily
Nursing home or convalescent home residents
Physio at home for older adults?
For many older people, home is the best place to do physio. We can see the stairs you climb, the chair you get up from and the bathroom you use, and build your exercises around them.
A home visit for an older adult usually covers:
Strength and balance work to lower the risk of falls
Walking practice, indoors and outside if you wish
Advice on walking sticks and frames, and how to use them safely
A simple exercise plan that you, your family or your carer can follow
With your permission, we are happy to update family members after each visit.
What we treat at home?
Rehab after hip and knee replacement and other orthopaedic surgery
Recovery after a fracture or a fall
Back, neck and joint pain
Arthritis and stiffness
Loss of strength and fitness after a hospital stay or illness
Swelling after surgery or injury, treated with lymphatic drainage

Patient’s Reviews
I had a really positive experience at The Body Lab. I went in with quite severe back pain from a muscle spasm, and Ghazi was patient and attentive throughout. He carried out a thorough assessment and recommended helpful exercises. He was professional, respectful, and took the time to listen to my concerns. I’d definitely recommend this clinic!!!

I came here with knee pain after being recommended by a friend. Great location, and Ghazi was such a professional, being able to identify the problem straight away. I already booked more sessions before leaving the building.
- Oscar Byrne
I had sudden severe lower back pain from a tough lower body session in the gym and was struggling to walk for two days. I rang the clinic around 5pm and was seen in the next half an hour. The clinic is lovely and Ghazi is very kind and professional. The next day my back was back to normal, no pain when walking, I was so grateful and would definitely recommend!
