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 Bursledon — usually within the same week, and with no GP referral 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 Bursledon, from Old Bursledon to Lowford, and nearby Hamble-le-Rice, Netley and Butlocks Heath. 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.
Bursledon is younger than England as a whole: in the Bursledon and Hound North ward, 14.7 per cent of people are aged 65 or over, against 18.4 per cent nationally. So a lot of our work here is rehabilitation after an operation or an injury — hip and knee replacements, back and joint pain, sports injuries, and getting back to work. We also see many older people across Bursledon and the villages along the Hamble, and physiotherapy for elderly people at home is a large part of what we do: falls and balance, rebuilding strength after a hospital stay, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery and arthritis.
Planned hip and knee replacements for the area are carried out at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester and at Southampton General, 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 Bursledon 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:
- Pre and post-operative rehabilitation — including hip and knee replacements
- Back pain, joint pain, muscle pain and sports injuries
- Recovering mobility, strength and confidence after a hospital stay
- Neurological rehabilitation — including Parkinson's disease and stroke recovery
- Falls prevention and balance rehabilitation
- Older People Physiotherapy
- 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 Bursledon, including Old Bursledon and Lowford, and in nearby Hamble-le-Rice and Netley.
We aim to offer same-week appointments across the area, 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.
Bursledon has good care within reach, and it would be dishonest to open any other way. The nearest emergency department is at Southampton General Hospital, run by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, and open 24 hours a day. Planned hip and knee replacements are carried out at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester, a joint centre run by University Hospital Southampton and Hampshire Hospitals, and at Southampton General. The Royal South Hants Hospital in Southampton has a rehabilitation ward for older people.
So the honest question is: with all of that nearby, why would you need us?
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 Southampton or 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 — and from Bursledon that usually means Hamble Lane or the M27 at Windhover, both busy at peak times, and then parking, on a leg or a hip that is not ready for any of that. For a lot of 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.
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.
How to pay for your careAs a small, close-knit team, we pride ourselves on providing high quality treatment with a personalised and friendly approach. We treat you as a whole person and not just your symptoms, working with your family and carers to make sure everyone involved feels supported and informed.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists bring 150+ years’ combined experience, much of it in the NHS. Each holds specialist areas of expertise, and our Clinical Director personally matches every patient with the therapist best suited to their condition and goals.

Follow-ups from £55 • Your home, your pace
Do you provide home physiotherapy in Bursledon?
Yes. Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists visit people at home across Bursledon, from Old Bursledon to Lowford, and in nearby Hamble-le-Rice, Netley and Butlocks Heath. We also visit residents in care homes and nursing homes throughout the area. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 to arrange a visit.
Why would I need a home physiotherapist when Southampton is so close?
Because the hospital is where the treatment starts, and home is where the recovery happens. Southampton General has a 24-hour emergency department, and it is a good service. But a hip or knee replacement takes a morning to do and weeks to rebuild — almost all of it in your own house. From Bursledon, getting to an outpatient appointment usually means Hamble Lane or the M27 at busy times, and then parking — often harder than the treatment itself. 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 Bursledon?
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 Southampton General or Winchester?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. After a hip or knee replacement at the Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester or Southampton General, a fracture or other surgery, we visit you at home in Bursledon 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 you fit home physiotherapy around work in Bursledon?
Yes. Plenty of our clients in Bursledon are working, or recovering from an injury or an operation that has kept them off work. We aim to offer same-week appointments, and evening and weekend visits are usually possible too, so treatment can fit around your day rather than the other way round. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll find a time that works.
Do you provide occupational therapy at home in Bursledon?
Our Bursledon team is made up of physiotherapists at the moment, and we are actively recruiting occupational therapists for this area. It is worth calling Salveo Forma 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 Bursledon do you cover?
The whole of Bursledon, including Old Bursledon and Lowford, and nearby Hamble-le-Rice, Netley and Butlocks Heath. Neighbouring Hedge End, Botley and Park Gate have their own pages. 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 Bursledon?
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.
Bursledon is younger than England — so much of our work here is getting people back on their feet after surgery or injury.

Bursledon has a major hospital with a 24-hour emergency department a short drive away in Southampton, and a new orthopaedic centre in Winchester. That is fortunate, and it is worth saying first.
Bursledon is also younger than England as a whole: 14.7 per cent of people in the Bursledon and Hound North ward are aged 65 or over, against 18.4 per cent nationally. So we see a real mix here — people recovering from a new hip or knee, people with back and joint pain who want to get back to work, and older people along the Hamble who want to stay strong and steady at home.
Getting about isn't always as simple as it looks. Hamble Lane is the main road between the villages and the M27, and Hampshire County Council has described its junctions as at capacity at peak times.
And running through all of it is the same point. A hospital 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.
