FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my father home from the Horton?
Yes, and it is worth ringing before he is discharged rather than after. The Horton’s medical wards — Juniper and Laburnum — and the emergency assessment unit will have got him safe enough to leave, on a flat floor with staff at hand. His own stairs, his own bathroom and his own chair are a different job, and the first fortnight at home is when most ground is lost. We take referrals straight from families, with no GP letter and no waiting list.
He was transferred to the John Radcliffe in Oxford and I cannot get over there easily. Does that change anything?
Not for us — we pick things up when he gets home, whichever hospital he comes from. It is a familiar Banbury story: the Horton handles a great deal, but more complex older people’s care often means a move to Oxford, twenty-five miles away, at exactly the point when a family most wants to be close by. We work where he lives. Tell us the discharge date when you have one and we will get the first visit into that week.
Do you come out to the villages?
We come to you. Banbury itself, and out to Bloxham, Adderbury, Deddington, Bodicote, Hook Norton, Cropredy, Wroxton, Middleton Cheney and the villages either side of the Cherwell. There is no clinic to get to and no car park to negotiate, which for a lot of our clients is the whole point — the journey to an appointment is often harder than the appointment.
She has stopped walking down to the shops and nothing has happened. Is it too early to ring?
It is the right time, and it is the call we most wish people made sooner. Nothing dramatic has to happen for somebody to lose a lot of strength — they simply stop making a journey they always made, and the legs follow the habit down within months. By the time there is a fall there is usually a year of quiet decline behind it, and that decline is the part that responds best to work. We would aim at the actual route she has stopped taking rather than at exercises with no bearing on it.
She has carers in three times a day. Would you be duplicating them?
No. The clearest way to put it is that their visits and our work can be the same moments handled differently. A transfer from bed to chair can be something done to her, or a repetition of the exact movement she needs to practise — same thirty seconds, entirely different outcome over a month. We work out which of the daily moments can carry that, show whoever is doing them, and check whether it is holding. Nothing extra is added to their round, which is the only way it survives contact with a real rota.
Do we need a GP referral?
No. We are chartered physiotherapists and you can ring us directly. With his permission we will write to the practice if we find something a doctor should see — pain that is not controlled, a medication affecting his balance, something we are not happy with — and we are glad to send progress reports if they want them. Nothing has to go through the surgery before we can start.
He lives alone in a cottage with a steep staircase. Is that a problem, or the point?
Rather the point. Old Oxfordshire cottages tend to have narrow, steep stairs with a turn at the top, low doorways and a step down into the kitchen — none of which appears in a hospital assessment. We would far rather see it than be told about it. Sometimes better strength and a different technique make those stairs manageable again; sometimes the honest answer is that the house needs rearranging. We will tell you which.

Care homes in Banbury
Most of this work is arranged and paid for privately by families — a block of visits after a fall or a hospital stay, or ongoing work to keep someone moving. It sits alongside whatever the home already provides, and we work with their staff so the exercises carry on between our visits. You can read more about additional physiotherapy for residents.
