Chest and respiratory physiotherapy at home
Assess your respiratory physiotherapy needs alongside existing medical advice, then discuss suitable breathing or airway-clearance approaches and an individual plan.
Appointments depend on your address, travel and our diary.
Coverage details
Area pages help you plan a visit; they do not guarantee coverage for every address. We check your exact visit address, travel and clinician availability before showing appointment times.
Assess the respiratory need before choosing an approach.
Respiratory physiotherapy is not one exercise programme for everyone. We discuss your symptoms, diagnosis and medical guidance to understand whether airway-clearance advice, breathing work or rehabilitation is appropriate. The visit focuses on an individual plan that you understand and can use alongside the rest of your care.
Who is planned chest physiotherapy for?
- People whose medically assessed respiratory condition may benefit from physiotherapy.
- People seeking appropriate airway-clearance advice or respiratory rehabilitation.
- People with relevant rehabilitation needs after respiratory illness or surgery.
What happens at your visit?
We discuss your respiratory history, current symptoms, medication and any recent treatment or surgery. Assessment and the proposed approach depend on your condition and current health. Your physiotherapist explains any suitable techniques and checks your understanding. If medical review or another service is needed, we explain that rather than treating a home visit as a substitute.
How physiotherapy can help
- Assess relevant breathing difficulties and respiratory rehabilitation needs.
- Discuss suitable airway-clearance or breathing approaches where indicated.
- Explain an individual plan and how it relates to your existing medical advice.
Before we arrive
- Share your diagnosis and existing medical advice; have your medication list and any prescribed respiratory equipment available.
- Tell us about recent symptom changes so suitability can be reviewed before a visit. This is planned care, not an urgent breathing service.

Self-pay, insurance or a health cash plan?
Self-pay & health cash plans
Standard home visits are £120 for 60 minutes. Pay online when booking and receive a paid itemised invoice.
Using a health cash plan
You can use it to claim according to your cash-plan cover. Check home-visit eligibility, limits and requirements with your provider first.
Private medical insurance
You can book eligible home visits online. Your insurer must cover home treatment with the treating physiotherapist.
What to have ready
Have your membership or policy number and authorisation, care or claim reference ready. Clinic recognition alone does not establish home-visit cover; an excess or shortfall may apply.
Questions before arranging care
Is this an urgent breathing service?
No. Severe breathing difficulty, such as gasping or being unable to speak, needs 999. If you are more breathless than usual, contact NHS 111. Do not wait for a physiotherapy appointment.
What if my breathing problem has not been assessed medically?
Seek medical advice for new or unexplained breathlessness rather than trying to diagnose it yourself. Tell us what medical assessment you have had so we can discuss whether planned respiratory physiotherapy is suitable.
Will I need a particular device?
Not everyone needs an airway-clearance device. We assess your needs before discussing any options. If you already have prescribed equipment, have it available and share the instructions from your care team.

Clinic, solicitor or employer referrals
Clinic appointments are at our Newham clinic in Plaistow. A home-area guide is not another clinic location.
For professional home referrals, agree suitability, location, funding and reporting with the team first. A normal online booking does not establish an agency or employer agreement.
