Why Choose Salveo Forma
Salveo Forma was founded by Debbie Richards, an experienced NHS physiotherapist and Clinical Director, on a simple belief: that rehabilitation works best when it happens at home. Every physiotherapist on our team brings extensive NHS experience and specialist knowledge to each visit.
Clinic physiotherapy can only guess at your home. We see it. We watch how you actually get out of your own bed, how you manage your own stairs, and where the rug catches your foot. Then we build your exercises around the space you really live in.
A Cochrane review of 81 trials found that exercise programmes with balance and functional exercises reduce the rate of falls among older people living at home by around a quarter.

Where NHS and Council Support Ends in Devon — We Begin
Devon is not one area for community care, and which part you live in changes who you deal with. It is worth explaining properly.
In Exeter and the east of the county, hospital and community services are run by Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital at Wonford and its Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre. Council support after a hospital stay comes through Devon County Council.
In Torbay and Newton Abbot, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust runs Torbay Hospital and the community services, including Newton Abbot Community Hospital. In Torbay itself, the same trust also runs adult social care on behalf of Torbay Council. In Newton Abbot, council support comes through Devon County Council.
Either way, the ending is much the same. Short-term reablement after a hospital stay is usually free for up to six weeks, and NHS outpatient physiotherapy means getting to a clinic. If you can get to a clinic, go — it is free. If you cannot get to a clinic, or your six weeks of reablement have run out, the exercises are still yours to do alone in your own house.
That is the gap we fill. We come to the house — after reablement ends, or from the start if getting to a clinic was never realistic. We keep going for as long as it is genuinely helping, and we work alongside NHS care rather than instead of it. No waiting list, no GP referral. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 for a free telephone consultation with a qualified physiotherapist.
