Specialist neurological rehabilitation after a brain injury, delivered in your own home across Hampshire and Wiltshire.
A brain injury, whether from an accident, a bleed, an infection or surgery, can affect movement, balance, coordination and energy in ways that are different for every person. Our neurological physiotherapists deliver structured rehabilitation at home, built around the life you are working to get back to.
The brain recovers through neuroplasticity: its ability to re-learn and re-route with frequent, meaningful practice. That practice works best when it is task-specific and repeated often, which is exactly what home-based rehabilitation makes possible. We also help manage the fatigue, tone changes and balance problems that commonly follow a brain injury, and keep rehabilitation going when NHS input reduces or ends.
Recovery after a brain injury runs on neuroplasticity: undamaged areas of the brain gradually take on work through repetition of the right tasks at the right difficulty. That asks more of rehabilitation than a weekly appointment: it needs frequent, meaningful practice.
We build that practice into your actual days: sessions at home, a between-visit programme the whole household understands, and goals tied to real tasks rather than exercises for their own sake.
Cognitive fatigue after a brain injury is real and easy to underestimate: a session that would be light work physically can be exhausting neurologically. Push past it routinely and the whole week's practice suffers.
We plan around your best hours, keep sessions dense but short where needed, and teach pacing so progress is steady instead of boom-and-bust.
Brain injury recovery is measured in years, but formal rehabilitation rarely is. When inpatient or community neuro-rehab ends, we provide the continuity: reassessing from scratch, setting the next tier of goals and keeping progress honest with measurement.
We regularly work within case-managed rehabilitation packages, providing assessment reports, attending MDT reviews and coordinating with occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and support workers.
Usually, yes. The brain responds to well-structured practice long after the injury, and many people were discharged from rehab before their potential was reached. A fresh assessment will tell you honestly what is realistic.
Hospital rehabilitation gets you safe for discharge. Ours is about your life: your stairs, your street, your work, your hobbies, all practised where they actually happen, for as long as they keep improving.
Yes, routinely. We provide initial assessments, goal-based treatment plans, progress reports and MDT input for case-managed and litigation-funded rehabilitation packages.
We treat it as a clinical factor in its own right: sessions are scheduled for your better hours, dosed to leave something in the tank, and paired with pacing strategies for the rest of the week.
Please. The people around you determine how much practice happens between visits. We show them what to support, what to prompt and what to stand back from.
A relaxed but thorough conversation about how things started and what you want to get back to, followed by a physical assessment. You will leave with a clear explanation, a plan and your first exercises, and we will agree how often we should visit.

Charlie has been fantastic after my hip replacement, just can't recommend him enough. He was very patient with me while encouraging me with new exercises, and has really helped my confidence to move forward. I've made progress much quicker than I thought I would and that's all thanks to Charlie.
Emily is a lovely, engaging, patient and knowledgeable physiotherapist. Her time with my husband during his acute stroke recovery phase has been invaluable. Emily researched and adapted her sessions and exercises to my husband's specific requests and needs. Thank you Emily :-)
I had my first appointment with Charlie last month after coming out of hospital with 5 vertebral fractures. Barely able to walk or do anything for myself. Now 7 weeks later I'm able to walk unaided and do everything to look after myself.
This year my long term orthopaedic conditions and my vestibular migraine have been particularly troublesome. But thanks to Charlie's professional guidance my mobility is greatly improved and I am feeling much more confident when out and about.
After being let down by the NHS I was delighted to find South Coast Physio and it was a real bonus that they come to the home. Emily is skilled, helpful, friendly and solutions focused, providing the 1-1 support my daughter needs.
