"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."

Why Choose Home Visits in Totton?

PhysiotherapyA large town on the edge of the Forest
Totton is one of Hampshire’s biggest towns 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.

Coming home after a stay at Southampton General
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.
After that, NHS community rehabilitation and reablement are typically time-limited, usually to around six weeks (NICE NG74). 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 pick up where the six weeks leave off.

FAQs About Our Totton Service
Do you cover the smaller villages like Ashurst and Marchwood?
Yes, absolutely. Our team covers the entire Totton area, extending out to Ashurst, Marchwood, and the edge of the New Forest. We are a mobile service, so we come to you.
Can you see me if I am on the NHS waiting list?
Yes. Waiting times for community physio can be long. You can instruct us privately to start your rehabilitation immediately while you wait for NHS treatment, or to supplement the care they provide.
Do you treat neurological conditions in Totton?
Yes, we have specialist neuro-physiotherapists who visit Totton. They are experienced in treating Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis, helping to improve function and maintain independence.
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. If you have private health insurance, we recommend checking with your provider first, as they may require a referral to authorise your claim.
How much does a home visit in Totton cost?
Initial assessments are £120 (60–90 min) and include a thorough evaluation plus a written treatment plan. Follow-up sessions start from £60. View our full price list.
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 begin home physiotherapy or occupational therapy once you are back in Totton — either continuing your rehabilitation after NHS community support ends, or working alongside it.
