Stroke rehabilitation at home in London
Recovery after stroke continues far longer than most people are told. Specialist neuro physiotherapy in your own home keeps it moving, from a full-time clinical team, never an agency booking.
- Full-time in-house team, not an agency
- Same clinician every visit
- No GP referral needed
- Appointments in 24 to 48 hours

Understanding stroke recovery
- Weakness down one side of the body
- Difficulty walking, balancing or using stairs
- A hand and arm that do less than they used to
- Stiffness and changed muscle tone
- Fatigue that limits everything else
- Loss of confidence in moving, indoors and out
- The brain rewires around the injury: this is neuroplasticity, and it is driven by practice
- Recovery is fastest early, but meaningful gains continue for years with the right input
- Intensity matters: more quality repetitions produce more change
- NHS rehabilitation often ends before recovery does; private input can continue the work
- As soon as you are home and want rehabilitation to continue
- If NHS therapy has ended but you have goals left
- If walking, balance or arm use has plateaued
- If confidence, rather than ability, has become the barrier
Our approach to stroke rehabilitation
Goal-driven, repetition-rich rehabilitation, with the same neuro physiotherapist every visit.
Rehabilitation starts with your goals: the stairs at home, walking to the shop, using the affected hand at dinner. Your programme is built backwards from them, with the repetitions and progression that neuroplasticity demands.
Most of our stroke patients are seen at home, where the stairs, chairs and doorways are the real thing. With your consent we coordinate with your GP, consultant and family, and we measure progress so you can see it too.
What your programme can include
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.
- 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.

What our patients say
“Shokola was great with my 12 year old daughter. She got straight to the issue and made good and practical suggestions for treatment.”
Google review →“Harsha has been kind, attentive and has helped me hugely with my hip and Achilles injuries. She’s a brilliant and very knowledgeable physiotherapist and I recommend her highly.”
Google review →“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.”
Google review →“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.”
Google review →“Thanks to Olga I have made great strides in my recovery from the after-effects of sepsis. My strength, balance and mobility have improved enormously under her excellent physiotherapy. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
