Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Home in Lagos
A licensed physiotherapist comes to your address with a portable couch and the equipment, assesses you, treats you and leaves you with exercises you can actually do in the space you live in. No traffic, no waiting room, and no getting a painful back or a new knee into a car. Rehabilitation works as a course, so most people book a block of six with the same physiotherapist.

Questions people ask
How much is a physiotherapist at home in Lagos?
₦45,000 for a session of up to an hour, or ₦240,000 for a block of six with the same physiotherapist. No call-out fee in Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki Phase 1 and the rest of the Island core. Elsewhere in Lagos a call-out of ₦5,000 or ₦8,000 is added to a single session, and waived on any booking of ₦50,000 or more, which includes the six-session block and the neuro session.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly. If the physiotherapist finds something that needs a doctor or a scan first, they will tell you and we arrange it.
Do I need any equipment at home?
No. The physiotherapist brings the couch and the kit. A clear space about the size of a bed is enough.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem, but most back, neck and joint problems need a course rather than one visit, which is why the block of six exists. Your physiotherapist gives you an honest estimate on the first visit.
Can I book for my mother or father?
Yes, including from abroad. You book and pay online, and with their permission the progress notes can be shared with you.
