FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my wife come home from the Great Western?
Yes, and the earlier you ring the better. We take referrals straight from families — nothing goes through the ward and there is no waiting list. If she has been on Teal Ward, the general medical ward that specialises in caring for older patients, or is moving to a rehabilitation bed at Savernake Hospital before coming home, tell us the likely date and we will book the first visit around the first few days back. That week is when most ground is lost and most confidence goes, and it is worth far more than a perfect plan that starts a fortnight later.
My father has stopped walking down to the shops. Nothing has happened. Is that worth a call?
Yes, and it is the call we most wish people made sooner. When somebody stops making a journey they used to make, it is rarely the legs alone — it is usually the hill, the kerb, the worry about getting back, and the quiet decision not to risk it. That decision is where decline starts, and it is very treatable while it is still recent. We would work on the actual route rather than a set of exercises in the living room. Nobody needs to have fallen, and nothing needs to have gone wrong, for this to be worth an hour.
My mother's Parkinson's is only going to get worse. What is the point of physiotherapy?
The point is how well she lives on the way there, and for how long. We will not tell you physiotherapy reverses Parkinson’s, because it does not. What it does is hold onto things that otherwise slip away quietly — the turn in the hallway, getting out of the chair without three attempts, walking through a doorway without freezing. Keeping something for another year is a genuine outcome rather than a consolation. It also tends to mean less help needed rather than more, which matters at home in Marlborough as much as it does on paper.
Do you visit the villages — Ramsbury, Aldbourne, Great Bedwyn?
Yes, and Ogbourne St George, Mildenhall, Burbage and Pewsey as well. The downland villages are precisely where a home visit is worth most: the alternative is somebody being driven into Swindon, spending half the energy of the day on the journey and arriving with nothing left for the session. A village address does not change how long we stay or what we do. If you are further out than the places listed here, ring and ask rather than assuming — we would rather say yes than have somebody decide for themselves that they are too far away.
My father will not do the exercises when we are not there. Does that mean it will not work?
Not necessarily, and it is worth working out why before treating it as refusal. Most people who do not do exercises between visits are not being difficult — they are unsure they are doing them right, or worried about being alone if something goes wrong, or the exercises simply do not fit the day. We would rather give him two things he will genuinely do than eight he will not. We also build the work into things that already happen — standing from the chair, the walk to the kettle — so progress does not depend on anybody remembering a programme.
Can you visit my grandmother in her care home in Marlborough?
Yes, we visit care homes across Marlborough and the surrounding villages, and we work with the home rather than around it. We ask the manager first, keep the staff informed, and fit around mealtimes and personal care. Families often ring when somebody has been doing steadily less since moving in — not because the home has failed her, but because somewhere everything is done for you is somewhere strength quietly goes. We leave written guidance so the work continues between visits, and managers are very welcome to contact us directly.
What can I do between visits without making things worse?
Quite a lot, and we will show you exactly what rather than leaving you guessing. Usually it is smaller than families expect: standing up from the chair without a hand under the elbow, walking to the kitchen rather than having the tea brought through, giving him the extra ten seconds it takes to do it himself. The hardest part is not doing things — watching somebody struggle briefly when you could help in a moment is genuinely difficult. We are clear about which struggles are safe and useful and which are not, so you are not left judging it alone.

Care homes in Marlborough
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.
