HCPC-Registered Team
NHS-experienced clinicians — not a contractor network.
Recovering from an operation, a fall or a spell in hospital shouldn’t mean a journey you’re in no state to make — so we come to you.
Whether it’s rebuilding strength after a hip replacement, getting your confidence back after a fall, managing Parkinson’s or a stroke, or getting over an injury, our physiotherapists treat you at home in Alresford. We aim to visit within 2–7 days of your call — sometimes the next day — and no GP referral is needed.
Arranging physiotherapy for yourself or for someone you love? Just call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we’ll take it from there.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists cover New Alresford and Old Alresford, and the villages around them: Bishop's Sutton and Bighton to the east, Cheriton, Tichborne, Bramdean, Kilmeston and Beauworth to the south, and Itchen Stoke, Ovington and Northington to the west and north. We visit people in their own home, in a care home, or in a nursing home — building a treatment plan around your life rather than a clinic timetable.
Alresford is much older than England as a whole. Almost one in three people in the Alresford & Itchen Valley ward are aged 65 or over — 30.1 per cent, against 18.4 per cent for England — and almost one household in five is a single person aged 66 or over, living alone. So a great deal of our work in Alresford is physiotherapy for elderly people at home: falls and balance, rebuilding strength after a hospital stay, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery and arthritis.
We also do a lot of post-operative work here. Planned hip and knee replacements for Alresford usually take place at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester, and the rebuilding after that surgery happens at home — on your own stairs, in and out of your own chair.
Some people need occupational therapy alongside physiotherapy, and most aren't sure which one they need. Physiotherapy rebuilds strength, balance and movement; occupational therapy looks at the practical business of daily life — getting in and out of a chair, managing stairs, washing and dressing safely. Our Alresford team is made up of physiotherapists at the moment, and we are actively recruiting occupational therapists for this area. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll tell you honestly what would help, and what we can arrange right now. No GP referral is needed.
We provide specialist home physiotherapy visits for:
- Older People Physiotherapy
- Falls prevention and balance rehabilitation
- Neurological rehabilitation — including Parkinson's disease and stroke recovery
- Recovering mobility, strength and confidence after a hospital stay
- Pre and post-operative rehabilitation — including hip and knee replacements
- Back pain, joint pain, muscle pain and sports injuries
- Rheumatological Conditions
We Help You Live Independently With Confidence, Meaning & Purpose
Whether you're rebuilding strength after a hip replacement, getting steady on your feet again after a fall, or regaining confidence after a stay in hospital — getting to a clinic isn't always possible. We remove that barrier entirely.
Our physiotherapists come to you, delivering expert one-to-one treatment in your home or care home. No hospital car park. No waiting rooms. Just focused, specialist care at a time and pace that works for you and your family.
We treat you as a whole person — not just your symptoms.
If your shoulder hurts because your walking stick is the wrong height, we'll treat the shoulder and sort the stick. A knee problem that started with an old ankle injury gets both looked at. We find the cause, not just the complaint. As a small, close-knit team, we also work alongside your family and carers, making sure everyone involved feels supported, informed and part of the process.
Our clinicians each hold specialist areas of expertise, and we carefully match every patient with the therapist best suited to their condition and goals. From the very first visit, you're in the right hands.
Request a Call BackNothing means more to us than the 5-star reviews our clients share on Google. These heartfelt testimonials showcase what drives our team every day — delivering expert, empathetic physiotherapy care that helps people rebuild their strength, mobility, and independence without leaving home.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists provide home visits throughout Alresford and the villages around it, including Old Alresford, Bishop's Sutton, Bighton, Cheriton, Tichborne, Bramdean, Itchen Stoke, Ovington and Northington.
We aim to visit within 2–7 days of your call — sometimes the next day — with no GP referral needed.
Whatever your condition, we match you with the clinician whose specialism fits your needs — and we treat you in the place where you actually have to manage day to day.
Where NHS rehabilitation ends, and how we pick up from there.
Alresford has no hospital of its own. The nearest emergency department is at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, run by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and open 24 hours a day, and planned hip and knee replacements usually take place at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre there, which opened in 2025. The nearest community hospital with rehabilitation beds is Alton Community Hospital, run by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
So the honest question is: why would you need someone to come to you?
Because the hospital is where the operation happens, and home is where the recovery happens. A hip replacement, a knee, a fractured wrist or hip — the surgery takes a morning. The rebuilding takes weeks, and almost all of it happens in your own house. A hospital in Winchester does nothing for you at week three, when you still cannot manage your own stairs and the exercise sheet is on the kitchen table.
Outpatient physiotherapy is the other half of it. It exists, and it is good, but it means getting there — into Winchester or out to Alton — and parking, on a leg or a hip that is not ready for any of that. The 64 bus to Winchester is frequent, but it runs to the city centre, not the hospital, and the Watercress Line now runs only as a heritage railway. For a lot of older people the journey is harder than the treatment, and appointments get missed for exactly that reason.
Community therapy at home comes through Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and needs a referral from a health professional. Worth knowing: that trust was formed on 1 October 2024 from Southern Health and Solent NHS Trust, so you may still see either of the old names on letters, leaflets and older websites. It is the same service.
Where there is council support, it comes through Hampshire County Council's Reablement service. It is free, it includes occupational therapists, and it is capped at six weeks. We continue the work after that, or from the start if reablement was never part of the picture, for as long as it's genuinely helping and alongside anything the NHS already has in place.
Clear pricing, agreed before your first visit. No packages and no block bookings.
Your first visit lasts 60 minutes or more, and treatment starts on the day: we talk through your health and what you’re finding hard, agree your goals, look at how you move, and leave you with exercises and a plan.
There’s no set course. About 1 in 4 of our clients need just one visit, and about half need three or fewer.
What to expect, how many visits you might need, and our full price list
Most people pay privately, but it isn't the only route.
- Paying privately — no referral, pay after each visit
- Private health insurance, including BUPA and WPA
- Personal budgets and Direct Payments from Hampshire County Council
- Attendance Allowance, if you are over State Pension age
- NHS Continuing Healthcare funding you already hold
Cover varies by policy and by council, so it's worth checking what yours includes before you book. We've written a plain-English guide explaining how each route works and what to ask.

Follow-ups from £55 • Your home, your pace
Do you provide home physiotherapy in Alresford?
Yes. Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists visit people at home across Alresford and the villages around it, from New and Old Alresford to Bishop's Sutton, Cheriton, Tichborne and Itchen Stoke. We also visit residents in care homes and nursing homes throughout the area. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 to arrange a visit.
Why choose home physiotherapy in Alresford?
Because Alresford has no hospital of its own, and getting to one is hard work after an operation or a fall. The nearest emergency department is in Winchester, the nearest community hospital is in Alton, and the 64 bus runs to Winchester city centre, not to the hospital. A hip replacement takes a morning to do and weeks to rebuild — almost all of it in your own house. We come to you instead, and build your programme around your actual stairs, your actual chair and your actual bathroom.
How much does a home physiotherapy visit cost in Alresford?
An initial assessment is £110 for 60 or more minutes, including treatment, and follow-up visits start at £55 for 30 minutes. A 45-minute follow-up is £82.50 and 60 minutes is £110. There are no packages and no block bookings, and the first phone conversation is free.
Can you help after an operation at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. After a hip or knee replacement, a fracture or other surgery — at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester, in Southampton or elsewhere — we visit you at home in Alresford and work through a programme built around your surgeon's protocol, alongside any NHS follow-up rather than instead of it. If Hampshire County Council's Reablement service has been involved, that support is capped at six weeks — we often start where it finishes.
Can physiotherapy help after a fall in Alresford?
Yes. Falls and balance are a large part of our work in Alresford. We assess strength, balance and walking in the place where the fall happened — the stairs, the rugs, the bathroom, the chair you get up from — and build a programme to rebuild strength and confidence and reduce the risk of another fall. Families are welcome to be involved. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we aim to visit within 2–7 days, sometimes the next day.
Do you provide occupational therapy at home in Alresford?
Our Alresford team is made up of physiotherapists at the moment, and we are actively recruiting occupational therapists for this area. It is worth calling us anyway, because a lot of what people ring an occupational therapist about — getting safely out of a chair, managing the stairs, reducing the risk of another fall — is work a physiotherapist does too. Physiotherapy rebuilds strength, balance and movement; occupational therapy looks at the practical business of daily life, and the two overlap constantly. Hampshire County Council's Reablement service also includes occupational therapists and is free for up to six weeks. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll tell you honestly what would help and what we can arrange right now.
Which parts of Alresford do you cover?
New Alresford and Old Alresford, Bishop's Sutton and Bighton to the east, Cheriton, Tichborne, Bramdean, Kilmeston and Beauworth to the south, and Itchen Stoke, Ovington and Northington to the west and north. If you are just outside, call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll tell you which of our pages covers you.
Can I self-refer in Alresford?
Yes. You don't need a GP referral — call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll arrange a visit. There is no need to go through anyone else. We also accept referrals from GPs, hospital consultants and insurers, and many of our clients are arranging care for a parent or partner, which is completely fine too.

Alresford is a small Georgian market town with no hospital of its own. Its emergency department is in Winchester and its nearest community hospital is in Alton.
It is also much older than England as a whole. 30.1 per cent of people in the Alresford & Itchen Valley ward are aged 65 or over, against 18.4 per cent for England, and 19.1 per cent of households are one person aged 66 or over, living alone — against 12.8 per cent for England.
That is who a home visit is for. A fall at home, a new hip, a spell in hospital that leaves someone weaker than when they went in — and a family, often living some distance away, trying to arrange help quickly.
And running through all of it is the same point. An emergency department in Winchester does nothing for you at week three of a hip replacement, when the exercises are on the kitchen table and nobody has watched you try your own stairs. That is the bit we do.
Our chartered physiotherapists visit throughout the town and the villages around it.
