FAQ - Your local questions
My father went into Wexham Park walking and came home needing a hoist. Can that be turned round?
Often at least in part, and it is one of the most frequent reasons families ring. Bed rest costs an older person muscle astonishingly quickly — the research shows adults in their late sixties losing more lean muscle in ten days than a forty-year-old loses in a month. What went that fast can come back, though more slowly than it left. We would assess what is actually in the way, work at it properly and be honest with you about what we think is achievable, rather than promising the hoist will go.
My mother has stopped doing her own shopping and now has it delivered. Is that a reason to ring?
It can be, and it is worth an honest look. Delivery is sensible and convenient, so families rarely read it as a warning — but if the reason underneath is that she can no longer carry a bag from the car or manage the walk to the shop, then a useful piece of daily exercise has quietly gone. Nothing needs to have happened for this to be worth assessing. The work is far easier now than after a fall, and it is aimed at something she actually wants back rather than an abstract exercise.
My grandmother has not stood up for over a year. Is it too late even to try?
It’s worth finding out, and an honest assessment is where to start. After a year, standing can feel impossible, but that feeling is normal and doesn’t mean nothing can change. Usually what’s been missing is time, not ability: several weeks of steady work on the strength and confidence that standing takes. We’d look at what is really stopping her and give you a straight answer. We can’t promise a result, but we rarely find someone with nothing to build on.
Is there private home physiotherapy in Slough without a GP or hospital referral?
Yes. Just contact us directly; there’s no GP letter or consultant referral, no waiting list of our own, and nothing to organise through Wexham Park. We aim to see you as soon as we can, usually within one to five days of your first call. We cover Slough and the surrounding area, from Langley and Cippenham out to Burnham and Datchet. If you would like your GP kept informed we are very happy to write to them, but it is your decision rather than a requirement.
My mother is very anxious and has lost all her confidence. How would you approach that?
Gently, and by treating lost confidence as something to work on, not a part of who she is. Most people are capable of more than they think, and much of what we do is showing them, one small and unthreatening step at a time. We do not arrive with a programme and put her through it. The first visit is mostly finding out what she has stopped doing and why, then choosing one thing she would like back. Friendly company for an hour helps confidence more than you might expect, and we see it as part of the treatment.
She has carers morning and night and she is still going downhill. Why?
Because the visits are not where most of her day happens. Two calls a day account for perhaps an hour; the other twenty-three are hers, and if nothing in them asks her to move, that is where the ground is lost. It is not a failing of the calls — they are doing what they were commissioned to do. What we add is something for the hours in between: two or three specific things she does on her own, at times that fit her day, and somebody checking whether they are actually happening rather than assuming.
What should we be doing between your visits without making things worse?
Less than you probably are, and we will show you exactly what. Usually it means letting her stand without a hand under the elbow, letting her walk to the kitchen rather than carrying the tea through, and giving her the ten extra seconds it takes to do something herself. Holding back is the hard bit: seeing someone struggle for a moment when you could help is tough, especially for a daughter. We’ll tell you which struggles are safe and worthwhile and which aren’t, so the judgement isn’t yours alone.

Care homes in Slough
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.
