What we offer

Physiotherapy for elderly care, at home

Falls preventionBuilding strength, balance and confidence to reduce the risk of a fall, and rebuilding confidence after one.
Strength & mobilityGentle, progressive exercise to keep older patients independent at home for longer.
Ongoing managementRegular visits for long-term conditions such as arthritis or Parkinson’s, with the same physiotherapist, or small team of clinicians, each time.
Family & carer supportWith consent, we keep family and carers informed and involved in the plan.
Frailty and deconditioning

When strength slips away, it can be rebuilt

Frailty is not simply getting older. It is a loss of strength, balance and stamina that makes everyday tasks harder and falls more likely, and it often follows an illness, a hospital stay or months of doing less. It responds to the right exercise at any age. A home physiotherapist can see exactly what has become harder in your own home, and build the programme around it.

Signs to look out forWalking more slowly, holding on to furniture, struggling to get up from a chair, tiring quickly, or going out less than before.
Strength and balance trainingProgressive exercise to rebuild leg strength and balance, the most effective way we know to reduce the risk of falls.
A home that helpsPractical advice on chairs, stairs, lighting and walking aids, so your home supports your recovery rather than working against it.

We agree goals with you and your family, leave exercises to do between visits, and check progress at every session. If the decline followed a hospital stay, read about physiotherapy at home after hospital discharge.

Why choose SMARTPHYSIO

A full-time clinical team, not an agency

Many home physiotherapy services are agencies. You enquire, and the visit is passed to whichever freelance physiotherapist on their list is free that day. SMARTPHYSIO does not work like that. Every physiotherapist who comes to your home is a full-time member of our own clinical team, trained and supervised by us.

Our own full-time teamThe physiotherapist at your door works for SMARTPHYSIO full time, alongside colleagues they know well. We never pass your enquiry to a freelancer on a list.
Trained in-houseEvery physiotherapist completes our own in-house training before visiting patients at home, so the standard of care is ours and never pot luck.
Supervised, never working aloneOur physiotherapists work under clinical supervision and discuss cases as a team, so there is always experienced support behind your care.
Four questions worth asking any home physiotherapy service
  • Does the physiotherapist work for you full time, or are they booked from a list?
  • Who trained them, and who supervises their work?
  • Will it be the same physiotherapist at every visit?
  • If they are away, who covers, and will they know my case?

With SMARTPHYSIO the answers are simple: our own full-time team, trained and supervised in-house, the same physiotherapist, or small team of clinicians, at every visit, and cover from a colleague in the same team.

“I have seen several different therapists at Sammy Margo’s over many years. Every one has been excellent. When I was recovering from a hip replacement the physio I received helped me recover really quickly. Highly recommended.”

“I had a full hip replacement following a cycle accident, and have daily physio visits on weekdays for three weeks. I am already able to walk short distances without a stick or crutch, and this is entirely due to the work they have done with me.”

Frequently asked questions

Is home-visit physiotherapy suitable for someone in their 90s?
Yes. We treat patients across every decade of later life, from middle age into their nineties, and build the pace of treatment around what is realistic for the individual.
Can you help with falls prevention specifically?
Yes, this is one of our most common home-visit referrals. We assess strength, balance and the home environment, and build a programme to reduce fall risk.
Do you work with family members or carers?
With the patient’s consent, yes. We keep family and carers in the loop and can schedule visits so someone is present.
Is it too late to improve strength and balance in later life?
No. Strength and balance improve with the right exercise at any age, including for people in their eighties and nineties. Progress is usually gradual, which is why we set realistic goals and review them at every visit.
How often should an older person have physiotherapy at home?
It depends on the goal. Recovering after a fall or illness usually means more frequent visits for a few weeks, while keeping someone strong and steady over the long term may need less frequent visits. We recommend a pattern at the first assessment and adjust it as things improve.
