FAQ - Your local questions
My mother is on Windrush Ward at Cirencester Hospital. What happens when the rehabilitation beds run out of time?
That is exactly the moment to have something in place. Community rehabilitation beds at Cirencester Hospital do a great deal of good and they are, by design, for a defined period — people frequently come home still improving rather than finished. The therapy teams based there will have been working towards specific goals, and we would rather carry those on than start again. Ring us while she is still in, tell us roughly when the bed is likely to end, and we will plan the first visit at home into that first week rather than a fortnight later.
She is fine inside the bungalow but will not go out into the garden any more. Is that worth a call?
Yes, and it is a more useful signal than most people realise. The garden is usually the first thing given up, because it has a step, an uneven path and nobody within calling distance. Once it goes, the daily walking that kept her steady goes with it, and the house alone rarely provides enough. Nothing needs to have happened for this to be worth an hour. We would work on the actual route — the back door, the step, the path — rather than exercises in the sitting room, because that is the thing she wants back.
My husband has MS with good days and bad days. Is physiotherapy worth it when it is so unpredictable?
Yes, and the unpredictability is something we plan around rather than fight. We will not tell you physiotherapy changes the course of MS, because it does not. What it does is protect the function that fatigue and inactivity take on top of the condition itself — which is often a larger share than people assume, and the part that is genuinely recoverable. We work at what he can manage on the day rather than to a fixed programme, and we would rather do twenty useful minutes on a bad day than push through an hour that costs him the next two days.
We are right on the Wiltshire border. Does that make any difference to whether you will come?
None at all, and it is worth saying plainly because people talk themselves out of ringing. We cover Cirencester and the surrounding country — Chesterton, Stratton, Siddington, South Cerney, Fairford, Lechlade and out towards Tetbury and Northleach — and county boundaries are an administrative line rather than a limit on where we drive. It matters more here than in most places, because this corner of the Cotswolds gets split between services in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Swindon. If you are not sure, ring and ask rather than assuming you fall between the cracks.
My mother has lost a lot of weight and seems much weaker. Is that something physiotherapy can touch?
Partly, and it is worth understanding why the two go together. Muscle is lost with age anyway — a substantial proportion between forty and eighty — and weight loss, illness or poor appetite accelerate it sharply. Strengthening work is what reverses that side of it, and it works at any age, but it will not do much on its own if she is not eating enough to rebuild with. So we assess the strength, we work on it properly, and if nutrition looks like the bigger half of the problem we will say so and point you at the right help.
How do you decide when to stop?
We stay while the work is making a difference and we say so plainly when it is not. That means measuring at the start — how far she walks, how she gets out of a chair, what she manages without help — so progress is a fact rather than a feeling, and telling you what has changed after visits rather than at the end. If we reach the point where we are maintaining rather than improving, we will discuss honestly whether that is still worth doing. Being told straight that something has gone as far as it will is worth more than being quietly kept on the books.
Can you visit someone in a care home near Cirencester?
Yes, and we work alongside the home rather than around it. We ask the manager first, keep the staff informed and fit around mealtimes and personal care. Families most often ring when somebody has been steadily doing less since they moved in — not because the home has let them down, but because a place where everything is done for you is a place where strength quietly goes. We leave written guidance so the work carries on between visits, and managers across the Cotswolds are very welcome to contact us directly.

Care homes in Cirencester
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.
