What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“I was very happy with the physiotherapy treatments received by Katy for my ankle fracture. I noticed improvements in my walking, balance and flexibility almost immediately. Katy was punctual, friendly and encouraging, and I found the home based service to be extremely convenient. I would definitely recommend this company.”

Coming home to Brockenhurst after hospital
Our therapists specialise in helping older adults recover safely after hospital discharge from Lymington New Forest Hospital or Southampton General, improve balance and mobility, and maintain independence at home.
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
Most Brockenhurst residents are admitted for surgery or serious illness to Southampton General (University Hospital Southampton), with Lymington New Forest Hospital, about five miles away, the nearest community hospital for step-down rehabilitation and outpatient care before returning home.
Intermediate care and reablement are short-term services, often lasting up to six weeks. Other NHS rehabilitation depends on assessed needs and the local pathway; ask your team what your discharge plan includes. You can read how that pathway works across the district — the trust, the council and the local hospital — on our New Forest pathway page.
When that support comes to an end, or you would simply like more time than the timetable allows, we continue at home for as long as it helps — rebuilding steadiness on your own stairs and lanes and working alongside any NHS or Hampshire County Council care already in place. Families often call us after a fall; our guide on what happens next is a good place to start.
Areas We Cover
We provide home visits throughout Brockenhurst and the surrounding New Forest villages, including Sway, Beaulieu, Boldre, Pilley, East Boldre, and Setley.
We also cover neighbouring towns including Lymington, Lyndhurst, New Milton, and the wider New Forest.
Roaming ponies, quiet lanes and an older village
Brockenhurst is one of the larger villages inside the National Park, but it is village life all the same — ponies, donkeys and cattle wander freely across the high street and the watersplash, and the lanes out towards Sway, Boldre and Beaulieu are narrow and unlit once the light goes. For an older resident who is unsteady after a fall or recovering from surgery, a short trip to an appointment in Lymington or Southampton is rarely the easiest first step.
The wider New Forest has one of the oldest populations in England: around three in ten residents are aged 65 or over, and the district’s median age was 51 (2021 Census) — well above the England average of roughly 40. That is a community where confidence with walking, balance and everyday tasks at home matters more than most.
So we bring the physiotherapist or occupational therapist to your door — assessing the real stairs, thresholds and garden path you use every day, at a pace that suits you, with no lift to arrange or Forest road to drive.

Supporting Local Care Homes
We work closely with care homes across the New Forest, including Woodpeckers Care Home in Brockenhurst, Forest Oaks, and Court Lodge, delivering personalised one-to-one therapy to help residents maintain mobility, strength, and independence.
