If your loved one is living in a care or nursing home, having access to specialist physiotherapy and occupational therapy can make a profound difference to their quality of life, independence and wellbeing.

Our chartered physiotherapists and occupational therapists provide expert therapy and rehabilitation services directly to residents — working closely with both care home staff and families to deliver the best possible outcomes.

We help residents reduce their risk of falls, regain or maintain mobility, and stay as independent and engaged as possible. For families, that means greater peace of mind. For care homes, it means better resident outcomes and a more confident, informed care team.

Our support goes beyond one-to-one treatment. We also offer:

  • On-site physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions
  • Workshops and training for care home staff
  • Regular group exercise classes for residents

Whether you're a family member looking to arrange therapy for a relative, or a care home seeking ongoing clinical support, we'd love to help. Get in touch for a friendly, no-obligation conversation about how we can support your loved one's care.

What Our Clients Say

The best measure of what we do isn't what we say about ourselves — it's what our clients and their families say about us. Every review represents someone who got back on their feet, regained their confidence, or found their independence again. Here's what some of them have shared.

What We Do

What we do in care homes

Living in a care home doesn't mean giving up on strength, independence or quality of life. Our specialist physiotherapists and occupational therapists work with residents, families and care teams to help make every day as active, safe and fulfilling as possible.

We provide regular, ongoing support to care homes across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Bath — visiting consistently so residents benefit from continuity of care rather than one-off appointments. Working closely with carers and care home staff, we build personalised treatment plans that reflect each resident's individual needs, health conditions and goals — treating the whole person, not just their condition.

Whether the aim is to reduce the risk of falls, manage chronic pain, rebuild strength after illness, or simply maintain the confidence to carry out everyday activities independently — we're here to help, with the care and commitment to make it happen.

When physiotherapy and occupational therapy are woven into daily care, the difference is real: residents stay more mobile and engaged, families have greater peace of mind, and care teams feel better supported.

Conditions We See

How we help care home residents

Every resident is different — with their own history, challenges and goals. Our physiotherapists and occupational therapists work with a wide range of conditions in care and nursing homes, including:

Falls are one of the most significant risks for older adults in care settings. We carry out comprehensive, multi-factorial falls assessments to identify and address individual risk factors — from balance and gait to medication, environment and footwear.

We work closely with carers and families to put practical strategies in place and ensure a personalised exercise programme supports ongoing stability and confidence. We also support care home staff in recognising and proactively reducing falls risk across the home.

A period of illness can have a profound effect on strength, confidence and function — particularly in older adults. We support residents recovering from a range of acute illnesses, including urinary tract infections, delirium, respiratory illness and the effects of prolonged bed rest or immobility.

Our goal is to help residents rebuild their strength and confidence as quickly as possible and return to their previous level of function.

For residents staying temporarily in a care home, we can help restore strength, mobility and function to support a safe return home. Our occupational therapists can also assess the home environment ahead of discharge — advising on any adaptations or equipment needed to ensure the transition back is as smooth and safe as possible.

We provide specialist rehabilitation for residents recovering from hip or knee replacements and other surgical procedures. Your physiotherapist will guide your recovery at every stage — progressing your walking and balance with the appropriate aids and adapting your exercise programme as your strength improves, to help you regain full function as safely and quickly as possible.

We provide specialist physiotherapy for a range of neurological conditions, including stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Our therapists understand the complex and often progressive nature of these conditions and work closely with residents, families and care staff to maximise function, slow deterioration and maintain quality of life for as long as possible.

Throughout your care, we work with you, your family and your care team to keep you motivated, active and as independent as possible. We provide manual handling training for carers, prescribe personalised exercise programmes, and collaborate closely with families and staff to support ongoing recovery and rehabilitation.

Staying for Respite Care?

Respite care — getting you home safely

For most people staying in a care home temporarily, the goal is the same: to get back home. Our physiotherapists and occupational therapists are here to make that happen as safely and confidently as possible.

Through tailored treatment and exercise programmes, we focus on rebuilding your strength, mobility and confidence during your respite stay — so that when the time comes to return home, you're genuinely ready.

Our occupational therapists can assess your home environment before you leave, identifying any potential challenges and recommending adaptations or equipment to make your return as smooth and safe as possible. We'll also look at your ability to manage everyday tasks independently and provide practical strategies and techniques to help you feel secure and confident at home from day one.

Why Should I Consider Care Home Physiotherapy?

The benefits of regular physiotherapy in a care home

Regular physiotherapy in a care home does far more than keep residents physically active. It can meaningfully improve quality of life, support mental wellbeing, maintain independence and reduce the risk of hospital admission — making it one of the most valuable contributions to a resident's ongoing health and happiness.

The NHS recommends regular exercise for older adults for good reason. Evidence shows it can significantly reduce the risk of major illnesses — including heart disease, stroke, bowel and breast cancer, osteoarthritis, depression and dementia — as well as reducing the risk of falls and lowering the risk of early death by up to 30%.

Our physiotherapists work to keep residents as mobile, strong and confident as possible, adapting every session to the individual's ability and making exercise as enjoyable and engaging as we can. Where residents are able, we also support outdoor mobility — taking sessions outside to encourage movement, fresh air and a connection with the wider world that life inside a care home can sometimes limit.

For care homes, we offer flexible packages of weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits — providing consistent, professional support that helps reduce falls, maintain resident function and gives families genuine peace of mind.
