“I contacted Medella Home Physiotherapy to help my friend. Seema arrived and did her assessment of what was needed to get him mobile again. The standard of her care and professional, warm and friendly techniques is high. He gained confidence that had long left him. She is very inspirational and firm with her very calm manner. Can only recommend this Company to anyone. Very professional service.”

What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“Our father aged 98 had a fall and fractured his leg. When he came out of hospital he was advised to have regular physiotherapy to get him walking again. Seena worked with him on a regular basis for about 3 months and our father can now get around on his own again. … We are very grateful for all Seena has done and would unhesitatingly recommend her.”
After Southampton General: Continuing at Home in Lyndhurst
Specialising in elderly rehabilitation, we help patients recover safely at home after discharge from Southampton General or Lymington New Forest Hospital.
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
After a planned operation or an emergency admission, most Lyndhurst residents are treated at Southampton General Hospital (University Hospital Southampton), with some rehabilitation and outpatient care available closer to home at Lymington New Forest Hospital.
Once you are back home, NHS community rehabilitation from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Hampshire County Council reablement help you find your feet. 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 on our New Forest pathway page.
We often begin where that support ends, or work alongside it — continuing your rehabilitation and mobility work at home for as long as it helps, and fitting around any NHS or council care already in place. Our hospital discharge guide for families explains what to expect in the first few weeks.

Lyndhurst’s older age profile — and why we come to you
We know that navigating the Lyndhurst one-way system or finding parking can be stressful when mobility is limited — so we bring expert care directly to your door.
Lyndhurst is the traditional “capital of the New Forest”, and the ONS groups it among “Coastal and Countryside: Senior Communities” — areas defined by a markedly older population. Across the wider New Forest district the median age had risen to around 51 at the 2021 Census, well above the England figure of 40, and almost three in ten residents were aged 65 or over.
Getting to an outpatient appointment from an SO43 address is rarely simple. Unlit forest lanes, roaming ponies and cattle, the village one-way system and the drive to Southampton all add up when someone is in pain, unsteady on their feet or tired easily after illness. For many older adults, the journey is the hardest part of getting help.
Seeing you at home changes that. Your physiotherapist works on your own stairs, your own bathroom and the paths you actually use — and family or carers can be there too, so everyone understands the plan.
For many older adults in Lyndhurst and the New Forest, travelling to outpatient clinics in Southampton or Lymington can be physically exhausting and logistically difficult. By bringing treatment to your home, we remove the anxiety of travel. This allows you (or your family member) to reserve energy for the therapy session itself.
