Physiotherapy
Stroke Rehabilitation at Home in Lagos
After a stroke, recovery happens in the months that follow, and it happens through repetition. A neuro-physiotherapist comes to the house for two hours at a time and works on what the person actually needs to do there: getting out of bed, standing, walking to the toilet, using the weak arm, managing the stairs. The family carer is taught how to keep the work going between sessions, which is where most of the progress is made.

Questions people ask
How much does stroke physiotherapy at home cost in Lagos?
₦85,000 for a session of up to two hours with a neuro-physiotherapist, paid online, with no call-out fee anywhere in Lagos.
How soon after a stroke should physiotherapy start?
As soon as the treating doctors say the person is medically stable, often within days of coming home. Recovery is usually fastest in the first months, so waiting costs progress.
How many sessions a week?
Two or three a week is common at the start, then fewer as the family takes on more of the daily practice. The physiotherapist will advise after the first visit.
My father had his stroke a year ago. Is it too late?
No. Progress is slower after the first months, but many people still gain strength, balance and independence with regular, targeted work.
