Specialist neurological physiotherapy in your own home across Portsmouth and Southsea, Cosham and Drayton, and out to Havant and Waterlooville.
Portsmouth is a dense, busy city, and for someone recovering from a stroke or living with Parkinson's or MS, parking, buses and waiting rooms all take energy you would rather spend on getting better. We come to you instead: a full hour of one-to-one neurological physiotherapy in your own home, on your own stairs, chairs and doorstep.
Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham is where most of our Portsmouth neuro clients were treated, and a lot of our work is the next step: building strength, walking and confidence once you are home. We visit terraces, flats and retirement developments across Portsea Island and the mainland, along with care homes, and you see the same physiotherapist at every visit.
Every clinician is HCPC registered and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. See our Portsmouth page for everything else we offer locally, or our neurological physiotherapy page for how we work.
Every programme starts with a full assessment at home and goals you choose. These are the conditions we see most often in Portsmouth; if yours is not listed, ask us.

A full hour, one to one, with the same physiotherapist every time. We practise on your own stairs, chairs and kitchen, so progress carries straight into daily life, and the people who support you learn how to help between visits.
Physiotherapy works best alongside the right support. These are some of the groups and charities we often point Portsmouth families towards:
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 Home Physiotherapy 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.
Professional, reliable and caring. The support from Charlie, our physio, has been invaluable.
Cannot praise them enough! Comprehensive and professional treatment plans that inspire you.
Enormously helpful advice and encouragement. I couldn't recommend more highly.
