Read how we helped a patient in Winchester regain mobility after a stroke....
“Clare at Hampshire Neuro Physio has been treating my husband since 2020, when he had a catastrophic stroke; at that time he was being hoisted in and out of bed and could not move. Now, 5+ years on, his confidence and mood are remarkable and he walks about the house, although still uses a wheelchair when he is out. He has gained a lot of movement and strength in his arm too. Clare is so supportive of his goals and helps him achieve them; she is also very sensitive to me as his main carer.”
Why choose at-home stroke rehabilitation?
Recovering from a stroke can be an exhausting journey, both physically and emotionally. By choosing in-home stroke physiotherapy, the stress and time of travel, parking, and navigating to a clinic or hospital is removed.
Clinical research shows that people often recover independence and confidence more quickly in a familiar environment. At home, physiotherapy can be targeted to achieve what’s important and relevant to you and your life.

-
Ideally, physiotherapy should begin as soon as you are medically stable.
In the hospital, this often starts within 24 to 48 hours. Once you are discharged home, continuing rehabilitation immediately is crucial to maintain momentum. The brain's ability to heal and adapt (neuroplasticity) is most active in the early stages, making prompt treatment vital for maximizing recovery. However, meaningful improvements can still be made months or even years later, so it is never too late to seek support.
-
Yes, we specialise in home visits across Winchester and the wider Hampshire area. We understand that travel can be exhausting and stressful after a stroke. By coming to you, we can assess your mobility in your own environment and tailor rehabilitation to help you manage daily tasks—like climbing your own stairs or getting in and out of your own bed—safely and confidently.
-
Private physiotherapy often allows for more frequent sessions and longer-term support than is typically available through the NHS. We can see you immediately without waiting lists and provide ongoing rehabilitation for as long as you need it. We often work alongside NHS community teams to ensure your care is seamless and comprehensive.
-
No, you do not need a referral from your GP or consultant. You can contact us directly to discuss your needs or book an initial assessment. If you are currently under the care of a hospital or community team, we are happy to communicate with them to ensure a coordinated approach to your recovery.
-
Yes, absolutely. While recovery is often fastest in the first few months, the brain remains capable of change (neuroplasticity) indefinitely. For those in the later stages of recovery, physiotherapy can help maintain mobility, prevent stiffness, and improve confidence. Even small improvements in strength or balance can make a huge difference to your daily independence, so it is never too late to seek support.
