What Our Reading Patients Say
“I contacted Caring Physio after a full knee replacement at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. They sent me Dominic, who was very knowledgeable and attentive โ he had apparatus to benchmark my good knee against the bad one. Over two weeks I made very good progress. I’d definitely recommend Caring Physio.”
โ Brian T., Reading ยท knee replacement rehabilitation at home following surgery at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
“I cannot thank The Caring Physio enough for all the help that is being provided for my husband who has Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism. Will and Julie helped us achieve what we were initially told was almost impossible. My husband has been bed-bound since April following a 2 week stay in hospitalโฆ Will from The Caring Physio was able to assess the situation and has liaised with the other NHS medical professionals involved, and arranged joint visits, and together, they have come up with a solution which now enables my husband to be hoisted out of bed for a short time each dayโฆ My husband is treated with respect and Will has built a good rapport with Ben despite the difficulties of working with someone with dementia.”
โ Christine B., Reading ยท her husband, living with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinsonism โ bed-bound after a hospital stay.
“My wife suffered serious trauma when she broke both legs after being struck by a car. I found The Caring Physio online. Grace helped her with walking and climbing stairs and, more importantly, restored her confidence. Would certainly recommend.”
โ Simone M., Reading ยท rehabilitation after major trauma.
“Nicole was very professional, thorough and exceptionally helpful. I was barely able to walk when I was discharged from hospital, and now, with great physio help, I can go for walks along the river for up to an hour. Thank you!”
โ David D., Reading ยท regaining walking distance and independence after a hospital discharge.
Helping you recover using physiotherapy in the comfort of your home
FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help after surgery at the Royal Berkshire Hospital or Circle Reading Hospital?
Yes โ post-operative rehabilitation at home is one of our core services. We regularly support people recovering from procedures like knee replacement (TKR) and hip replacement (THR), whether discharged from the NHS Royal Berkshire Hospital or the private Circle Reading Hospital, and can usually begin within a few days of discharge.
My relative is on Emmer Green Ward at the Royal Berkshire Hospital after a fractured hip โ can you help them get home?
Yes. Emmer Green Ward is the Royal Berkshire Hospital’s specialist hip fracture unit, and rebuilding strength and confidence after a hip fracture at home is one of our core services. We can usually begin within a few days of discharge, continuing the rehabilitation started on the ward โ gait re-education, mobility, and reducing the risk of a further fall.
Is there private home physiotherapy in Reading without a GP or hospital referral?
Yes โ we’re a private service, so no referral is needed from a GP or a hospital. Our physiotherapists visit patients in their own homes across Caversham, Lower Earley, Tilehurst and Woodley, with no NHS waiting list and no clinic to travel to. Contact us directly and we can usually begin within days.
Do you provide physiotherapy for people living with dementia in Reading?
Yes โ dementia care is a particular specialism. We help people stay mobile, reduce falls and maintain independence at home across Reading, from Caversham to Woodley, working closely with families every step of the way.
Do you do home visit physio to the suburbs and villages around Reading?
Yes โ alongside the city centre, we regularly visit the Reading suburbs of Caversham, Tilehurst, Emmer Green and Lower Earley, as well as nearby villages like Sonning. If you’re just outside these areas, get in touch and we’ll confirm we can help.
Can you visit my mother in her care home in Reading?
Yes. Families often come to us after a relative has moved into a care home following a stay at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, when the physiotherapy that had them walking on the ward stops once they’ve settled in. Our Reading physiotherapists visit the home, agree times with the care team, and work one to one on standing, walking and confidence after a fall.
She has carers coming in twice a day. Would you be duplicating them?
No. We are not another pair of hands at the same tasks — we are there to change what those tasks require. A good deal of our work is with the carers themselves: showing them how a transfer can be done so that she contributes to it, which parts of dressing she should be given time to attempt, when to prompt and when to step in. They are in the house far more than we are, so anything that is going to stick has to work inside their visit rather than alongside it.
