Residential and nursing homes work hard to keep residents safe and well cared for. Our physiotherapists work with your staff to help residents move better and to reduce avoidable hospital admissions. We also provide rehabilitation after discharge, and raise quality of life for every resident through exercise.
We provide thorough on-site assessments of movement and daily tasks, and individual rehabilitation programmes. We offer private sessions for residents who need focused attention, and group classes that build motivation and bring people together. The service is the same whether yours is a residential home, a nursing home or a specialist dementia setting. It is physiotherapy in care homes done properly: regular, recorded and built into your residents' care plans.
Available across Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Winchester, Salisbury and everywhere in between.

Routine assessments are usually booked within the week. A resident coming back from hospital can normally be seen within 48 hours, so rehabilitation starts before confidence is lost.
Yes. Every assessment and review comes with a clear written record covering mobility, falls risk, goals and recommendations. It is set out so it can go straight into a care plan or be shown to inspectors.
We often run short handover sessions for carers. These cover safe transfers, walking aids and how to prompt each resident's exercises between visits.
No. Homes can book a single assessment or trial class first, then choose the mix of individual sessions and group classes that suits their residents.

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.

Enormously helpful advice and encouragement. I couldn't recommend more highly.
