FAQ - Your local questions
My mother has been offered six weeks of reablement. Should we wait until that finishes?
No need to wait, and no need to choose between them — they work alongside each other perfectly well. Reablement is time-limited by design, which is its strength and its limit: six weeks is often exactly what somebody needs, and sometimes it ends while there is still ground to make up. Starting with us during those weeks means nothing stops when the six are over. We will fit around the reablement team’s visits, work on goals they are not covering, and take over the longer job of strength and confidence once they step away.
Nothing has happened to my mum, but she is doing a little less every month. Is that a reason to call?
It is the best reason there is, and it is the call almost nobody makes. Frailty is not an inevitable part of ageing — that is the British Geriatrics Society’s own position, and they are clear that strengthening work can prevent it and in some cases reverse it. A slow monthly drift is exactly what responds, because there is still plenty to build on. Left alone it usually ends with a fall, a chest infection and an admission to the Great Western or the Royal United, and every one of those costs months rather than weeks.
My father has dementia. Will he be able to follow the exercises?
Very often yes, though not in the way the word ‘exercise’ suggests. We do not hand somebody with dementia a sheet of instructions and expect it to work. The body remembers a great deal that the mind cannot recall on demand, and practising real movements in the real place — getting out of his own chair, walking his own hallway — works far better than anything abstract. We repeat, we demonstrate, we work at the time of day he is at his best, and we show whoever is with him how to carry it on without it becoming a battle.
We are not in Devizes itself. Is it worth ringing anyway?
Almost always, yes. Devizes is our hub for this part of Wiltshire and we go well beyond the town — Potterne, Rowde, Bromham, Urchfont, Market Lavington and the lanes around them. Rural addresses are where home physiotherapy earns its keep, because the alternative is a relative driving somebody twenty miles to an appointment they arrive at too tired to benefit from. We do not work to a hard line on a map, so ring and ask rather than assuming you are outside it. Our fees are set out in full on our main FAQ page.
My husband is of a generation that will not spend money on himself. Will he see the point?
Often not at first, and that is very common rather than unusual. Men of that generation will pay for the roof, the car and the grandchildren before they will pay for themselves, and being persuaded by a family member rarely works. What tends to shift it is a concrete goal that is obviously his — getting back out to the garden, managing the stairs without help, being able to be left for an afternoon. We would rather have one honest visit that he chooses not to continue than six he resents, and we will tell you straight which way it went.
He says he does not want any more physiotherapy. Can you talk to him?
We can try, and we will not push. People usually refuse for a reason worth hearing: a previous course that was painful, or being set goals somebody else chose, or a quiet fear of being shown how much has gone. We start by asking what he would like to be able to do rather than telling him what he should work on. Sometimes that changes things and sometimes it does not, and a first visit is a perfectly reasonable way to find out. If he does not want us back, we will say so to you honestly rather than keep turning up.
How will we know if it is working, and will you tell us if it is not?
We will, and it is one of the most important things we do. We measure at the start — how far she walks, how she gets out of a chair, what she manages alone — so progress is a fact rather than an impression. You hear after visits what has changed and what has not. And if the work stops making a difference, we say so and stop, rather than quietly carrying on because the visits are booked. Being told honestly that something has gone as far as it will is worth more than being strung along, and families remember which they got.

Care homes in Devizes
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.
