Many of our clients come to us through a son, daughter or partner who wants the best care for a parent or relative. We make it simple. There is a phone call to understand the situation, a home assessment at a time that suits, and clear contact with the family throughout. If you live further away, we can keep you updated after each visit.
You might live down the road, or two hundred miles away. Either way, it usually starts because something has changed: a fall, a hospital stay, or a clear slowing down. You want someone good to actually go out and help.
You can arrange everything on their behalf. Make the call, set up the first assessment and stay involved from wherever you are. With your family member's consent, we report back after every visit in plain English. So you always know what was done and what comes next.
What families most often ask us to help with:
A call or message about the situation and what you are hoping for. No obligation, and honest advice about whether physiotherapy will help.
A full assessment at their home, at a time that suits them, with family welcome to join in person or by phone.
Clear updates after each visit, and coordination with carers, GPs and equipment services where that helps.
Yes, most of our enquiries come from family. We will need your family member's agreement to treat them. From there, you can be as involved as you both want.
This is very common, and worth a conversation rather than a hard sell. A gentle first visit often does it. Our physiotherapists are good at finding the goal that really matters to the person, such as the garden, the shop or the grandchildren, and building from there.
Usually within days. If you can, call us before discharge and we will aim to book the first visit for soon after they get home. That is when the risk of losing ground is highest.
Yes. With your family member's consent we send an update after each visit, and you are always welcome to call and talk anything through.
All the time. We build programmes carers can help with between visits, and show them how to help safely. This protects progress on the days we are not there.
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.
