“Naomi has been providing regular physiotherapy for my Father following quite a severe stroke. Dad always looks forward to and enjoys Naomi's visits. She is very kind, calm, friendly and professional. I have always felt that his treatment was beneficial and the improvement in his movement since his stroke has been down to Naomi's expertise and encouragement.”

What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“Would highly recommend this company. My physio was Sheena — she was the light at the end of the tunnel after breaking my hip and badly bruising my knee after a fall. She gave me the confidence to do all the exercises with great results. Within 3 months of my op I was swimming, taking long walks and driving. Thank you Sheena for all your help!”
Continuing Your Recovery After Salisbury District Hospital
Most older adults in the area who have had a stroke, a fall or planned surgery are treated at Salisbury District Hospital on Odstock Road (Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust).
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
Stroke patients are cared for on its Farley Stroke Unit, while hip and knee patients are seen on the orthopaedic wards — and in each case the first therapy usually begins on the ward before discharge home.
Once you are home, short-term NHS follow-on care may come from BSW Community Health (delivered by HCRG Care Group), the community rehabilitation service for the region, and from Wiltshire Council's reablement team. 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.
When that NHS support comes to its natural end — or when a family would like more frequent, unhurried sessions from the start — where we are able to visit, we continue the rehabilitation at home for as long as it is useful, at a pace that suits the person. Our guide on returning from hospital after a stroke or fall sets out the practical first steps, and you can read more about our approach to stroke rehabilitation.
Our Salisbury Service Area
While we recruit a therapist for the area, we are not visiting Salisbury city and its surrounding communities regularly. That includes Harnham, Wilton, Laverstock, Amesbury, Bishopdown, The Winterbournes, and the Woodford Valley. Please ask: we may still be able to help.
We cover neighbouring areas including Fordingbridge, Verwood, Ringwood, and Romsey.
An Older, More Rural Population Than the National Picture
Salisbury sits in Wiltshire, one of the older counties in England. At the 2021 Census, 21.9% of Wiltshire residents were aged 65 or over — and 3.0% were aged 85 or over — with a median age of 44, four years above the England figure. The rural villages of south Wiltshire, from Downton to the Chalke Valley, skew older still.
For many of those residents, simply reaching an appointment is part of the difficulty. Salisbury's medieval centre brings narrow, uneven streets and limited parking, while the scattered valley villages are served by only sparse bus routes — the reason volunteer door-to-door car and minibus schemes exist for people who cannot otherwise get about. A hospital or GP trip can mean arranging a lift long before the appointment itself.
A home visit removes that hurdle entirely. Where we can visit, our physiotherapists and occupational therapists come to you — in Harnham, Wilton, Amesbury or a village in the Woodford Valley — so the journey is never the thing standing between an older adult and their rehabilitation.
