“The team at Medella helped my elderly father get back on his feet after a stay in hospital. Everything was done with efficiency, great communication, compassion and care. They made a huge difference to his mobility. We will definitely use again if the need arises.”

What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“The physiotherapy we received is outstanding. I can't recommend the benefits of having a home physio highly enough. After being told by a hospital physio that he would never walk again, after 4 weeks of treatment my dad is now able to walk with assistance and is making huge progress.”
Coming home after a stay at Southampton General
We specialise in helping older adults recover safely at home, particularly following discharge from Southampton General Hospital or Lymington New Forest Hospital.
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
Totton sits just across the Redbridge causeway from Southampton General Hospital (University Hospital Southampton), so it is often where local residents are treated after a fall, a stroke or planned surgery — and where they are discharged from, sometimes by way of Lymington New Forest Hospital for a spell of rehabilitation first.
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. We set out how that community-rehab pathway works across the district on our New Forest pathway page.
When that support comes to an end, our physiotherapists and occupational therapists step in — continuing rehabilitation at home for as long as it helps, or working alongside any NHS or council care still in place. Whether the aim is regaining mobility and confidence after a hospital stay or simply getting the first 48 hours at home right, we can provide additional support alongside or after an NHS rehabilitation episode.
Our Totton Service Area
We provide home visits across all of Totton and the waterside areas, including Eling, Hounsdown, Calmore, West Totton, Ashurst, and Marchwood.
We also cover nearby towns including Southampton, Romsey, Lyndhurst, and the wider New Forest area.
A large town on the edge of the Forest
Totton is one of Hampshire’s biggest towns (28,657 residents in Totton & Eling at the 2021 Census) and, honestly, a younger one than the New Forest district around it. But with roughly one in five residents aged 65 and over, its older population still runs to several thousand people — and many working-age Totton families are also the adult children coordinating care for parents both here and deeper in the Forest.
Getting to an outpatient appointment is not always simple either. Totton station has no lifts: reaching the far platform step-free means a detour of around 600 metres along the main road, which is a real obstacle for an older adult using a walking frame or relying on family transport.
A home visit removes that journey altogether. We assess and treat you on your own stairs, in your own chair and bathroom, so the rehabilitation is relevant from the first session — and family or carers can be part of it.

Supporting Totton Care Homes
We visit patients in their own homes, but we also support residents in local care homes across Totton, such as Tendring Care Home, The Farmhouse, The Laurel Care Home, and Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home. We provide both one-on-one therapy and staff training.

Can you see me if I am on the NHS waiting list?
Yes. NHS community physiotherapy waiting times vary by service and area and can be long, so we may be able to help sooner while you wait. Our first home visits are usually available within 2–7 days, depending on your location and therapist availability. We can also supplement your NHS care and, with your permission, coordinate with your NHS team.

Do I need a GP referral for home physiotherapy?
No, you can book directly without a GP referral. We’re happy to liaise with your GP or consultant if needed. We are a self-pay service and don’t bill insurers directly; if you plan to claim on a policy, check whether it needs a GP referral.

Which hospital will I be discharged from in Totton?
Most Totton residents are treated and discharged from Southampton General Hospital (University Hospital Southampton), which is just across the Redbridge causeway. Some patients spend a period of rehabilitation at Lymington New Forest Hospital first before returning home. Wherever you are discharged from, we can discuss home physiotherapy or occupational therapy for your return to Totton. First home visits are usually available within 2–7 days, depending on your location and therapist availability. We can support you after an NHS rehabilitation episode ends or, with your permission, work alongside your NHS team.
