FAQ - Your local questions
My mother is in a rehabilitation bed at Lymington New Forest Hospital. What happens when it ends?
That is the moment to have something arranged. The rehabilitation wards at Lymington — Deerleap, Knightwood, Longbeech and Wilverley — do focused work, and people often come home still improving rather than finished. The risk is the fortnight afterwards when nothing is happening, which undoes a surprising amount. Ring us while she is still in, tell us roughly when the bed is due to end, and we will pick up the goals her therapy team were working towards rather than starting again from the beginning.
My father will not walk on the clifftop at Barton any more. Nothing has happened to him. Is that a reason to ring?
Yes, and a good one. Giving up a walk somebody has always taken is rarely about the legs alone — it is the wind, the distance back, and the worry about being caught out too far from the car. Once that walk goes, the strength that came with it goes quietly over the following months. It responds well while it is recent, and nothing needs to have gone wrong for it to be worth an hour. We would work on that actual route rather than exercises in the sitting room.
My husband has Parkinson's. Is there any point at this stage?
Yes, though we will be straight about what it can and cannot do. Physiotherapy does not change the course of Parkinson’s. What it does is hold onto function that otherwise slips away quietly — the turn in a narrow hallway, getting out of a chair without three attempts, walking through a doorway without freezing. Keeping something for another year is a real outcome rather than a consolation. Lymington New Forest Hospital runs a Parkinson’s service locally, and we are glad to work alongside whatever is already in place.
Do you come out to Milford on Sea, Hordle and Sway?
Yes — Milford on Sea, Hordle, Sway, Bransgore, Barton on Sea and the forest lanes between them. This corner of Hampshire is exactly where a home visit earns its keep, because the alternative is a drive to Lymington or Bournemouth for an appointment that takes most of the day’s energy before it starts. A village address changes nothing about how long we stay. If you are further out than the places named here, ring and ask rather than assuming you are outside the area.
She sleeps badly and is at her worst first thing. Can you come later in the day?
Yes, and we would rather. There is no sense having a difficult hour at the wrong time when a good one is available at the right time — if she comes round properly by mid-morning or is best after lunch, that is when we come. The same goes for anything else that shapes her day: carer calls, meals, a bad night, or the afternoon tiredness that many people get. Tell us how the day actually runs and we work round it rather than round a rota.
Can you show her carers what to do between your visits?
Yes, and it is one of the most useful things we do. An hour a week matters far less than what happens across the other hundred and sixty-seven, so we show the care team the rehabilitation 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. It is never a criticism of anyone. We leave it in writing so nothing depends on which carer happens to be on that day.
My mother cares for my father and she is exhausted. Does this help her at all?
More than people expect. If he needs less help to stand, to reach the bathroom or to get off the sofa, that is her lifting less and worrying less, several times a day. We also show her which things are safe to let him struggle with for a moment, which is often the hardest thing for a wife to hear and the change that makes the biggest difference. And we are another pair of eyes in the house each week — somebody who will say out loud if she is running on empty.

Care homes in New Milton
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.
