FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my father come home from St Mary's or Chelsea and Westminster?
Yes, and it is worth ringing before the discharge date rather than after. We take referrals directly from families, so there is nothing to arrange through the ward and no list to join. Whichever hospital he has been in, they will have got him to a standard that works on a flat ward floor with handrails and staff nearby. Home asks harder questions — the stairs, the step at the entrance, getting out of his own chair. Tell us the likely date and we will book into that first week.
My mother has not walked across to Kensington Gardens since before Christmas. Is that something you help with?
Yes, and it is one of the best reasons to ring. Stopping without an obvious cause is usually a series of small decisions rather than one event — the crossing felt busy, the walk seemed further than it used to, the bench was occupied. After a few weeks, not going becomes the habit, and the legs follow it within months. It responds well while it is still recent. We would work on that actual walk rather than a set of exercises indoors, because it is the thing she wants back.
It is a period conversion with a turn in the stairs and no lift. Is that too difficult?
Not at all, and it is precisely the sort of problem that needs someone in the building rather than in a clinic. A turn in a flight is harder than a straight run, and generic stair practice does not prepare anybody for it. We work on her actual staircase — which foot leads, where the hand goes, where to rest — and build the strength that particular flight demands. If we reach the view that the stairs are no longer safe, we will say so plainly rather than keep working at it.
The porter carries everything for her and she never lifts a thing. Does that matter?
Over time, yes, though nobody is at fault. Being looked after well is pleasant and it is also a slow reduction in what she does for herself — and strength that is not used goes. This is the commonest pattern we see in buildings with staff. We are not going to ask anyone to stop being helpful; we would work out which small things are safe for her to keep doing, and let whoever helps her know, so she gets the benefit of both.
She is in her late eighties. Is there really any point?
Yes, and her age tells us far less than what has changed recently. Strength responds at any age — the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy built a public campaign on exactly that, and the evidence behind it is sound. What matters more is the trajectory: somebody who was walking to Kensington High Street in the spring and is not now has plenty to aim at. We would assess her properly and say honestly what we think is achievable, including where we think a particular goal has gone.
Can you work with the private carers we already employ?
Yes, and it usually makes their hours count for more. We show the care team where the rehabilitation is hiding inside what they already do — how a transfer can be practice rather than a lift, which part of the walk to the bathroom she should manage herself, when to wait ten seconds rather than step in. It is never a criticism of anyone. We leave the guidance in writing so it does not depend on which member of staff happens to be there.
Is parking a problem for you in Kensington?
It is our problem rather than yours, and it does not shorten the visit. We work across central London every week and we plan for it — permits, bays, congestion and ULEZ charges are all built into how we operate rather than something we pass on or rush because of. You do not need to arrange anything, hold a space or worry about the time running out. If there is something particular about your street or building that helps, tell us and we will use it.

Care homes in Kensington
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.
