Frequently asked questions

Home physiotherapy is for people who can’t, or prefer not to, go to a clinic. We will come to your home to assess and treat you. It is ideal for people who may be struggling with their mobility.

You can come to us for support with falls prevention, reduced mobility, weakness, post-operative recovery, dementia and frailty, recovery after hospital discharge or illness, neurological conditions such as stroke or Parkinson's, arthritis, cardiovascular conditions such as angina, and respiratory conditions such as COPD or breathlessness. If you're unsure whether we can help, just ask.

We love working with older adults and feel passionate about supporting people to maintain their independence. Having spent the last several years specialising in the care of older people in the NHS, we can see that services are limited, and people miss out on valuable rehabilitation which can improve their independence, reduce their risk of hospital admission/readmission and improve their quality of life – which is hopefully where we can come in!

Within a home setting, we make things as functional as possible using the things you have around your home. Struggling to get up the stairs? We’ll do therapy using your staircase. Have a goal to get outside to potter in the garden? We’ll work on that. Fearful about falling? We’ll do a complete personalised risk assessment based on your own environment and look at how we can modify your risk.

Our Physiotherapists all have Bachelor of Science degrees along with various additional trainings. We have a combined 70 years experience working within the NHS and private practice, working across all areas of physical and mental health services, both inpatient and community.

No. We take self-referrals.

Give us a call on 07578 212015 (it will be Helen that you speak to) and we’ll get you scheduled in.

It can vary depending on the individual's needs. We allow 60-90 minutes for a new assessment and 50 minutes for a follow up.

Your physiotherapist will arrive at your home at the agreed time. Before we start, you'll be asked to sign a consent form and agree to our terms and conditions. If you have any useful information, such as scan results, hospital discharge letters or a list of your medication, please have it ready. Then we'll complete a full assessment, talk through your goals and agree the next steps together.

Treatments are fully tailored to each individual and their goals. It may include gait re-education, mobility progression, balance training, strength training, break down of functional activities and working on key elements, exercise prescription, soft tissue massage, sensory rehab, pre & post operative rehab. (This is not an exhaustive list!)

Definitely. It is often really useful to involve family members or carers in sessions so they can continue to support/encourage the advice between sessions.

The number of sessions needed will vary depending on individual circumstance and progress. Some people only need one, others benefit from a block of sessions or more regular sessions.

Absolutely. We will advise what you can do between sessions to support our input.

No. We will bring some basics and we’ll use what you have in your home.

We follow simple infection-control steps on every visit. That includes hand hygiene before we arrive, working bare below the elbows, and cleaning equipment after each use. If gloves or face masks are needed, we bring them with us. We can also wear a mask on request.

That is absolutely fine. All cancellations require 24 hours notice please. Without this, full payment will be incurred.

Fees/prices can be found here. Additional fees may be required for extended travel, report writing, referrals, consented contact with other professionals involved in your care or researching aids/adaptations or equipment that may benefit you. These will always be discussed and agreed with you before completion.

Payment is expected at the end of each session. You can pay with cash, cheque or bank transfer.

We currently don’t work with private health insurance companies.

Our therapists are based across Nottinghamshire, and our standard fees cover visits within a 5-mile radius of each therapist. If you're a little further away, please call us on 07578 212015 and we'll check the best therapist for you and let you know whether any extra mileage charge applies at £3 per mile.

There’s not much you need to do. If you can, please have any relevant letters, scan results, discharge notes and your current medication list to hand. It also helps to wear comfortable clothes and make sure there’s a clear space for us to assess you safely.

Yes, we do. Gift vouchers are available and can be a thoughtful way to support a loved one who may benefit from physiotherapy, rehabilitation or falls prevention support.

That’s completely fine. Give us a call and we can talk through the situation with you. We’ll let you know whether physio is likely to help, and if not, we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.
