Home visit assessment
We complete a 90 minute home / care home visit for the initial assessment.
We find out what the main problems are and very importantly what goals the person has. We ask about medical history, medications, falls, previous and current level of mobility, continence, cognition, support currently in place and more.
We assess physical ability including muscle strength, tone, balance, joint range of movement, bed mobility, transfers, stands, gait and functional movement. We check equipment in the home and make sure movement is optimised for everyone involved.
At the end of the session there will be a clear plan tailored to the person's goals of exercise, pain management, functional movement and support.
We send a clear summary with suggested actions to the GP with consent.

Rehab sessions
For people who would like more sessions, we offer personalised rehabilitation with our team. This is tailored to the goals which have been agreed. Some people require intensive therapy multiple times a day for a short time, for some it's weekly reviews, others might require less intensive support.
These sessions are 40 minutes long with the assessing therapist. Our team often form very close relationships with the person and their support network. We offer advice and education to all involved to ensure the goals can be achieved. We work as part of the multi-disciplinary team both within and outside of the NHS. We make referrals and give options to support people to make decisions for their healthcare.
Areas we cover
Our therapists travel across the South West to bring expert care to your door.

“My father, 91, was suffering very frequent falls and his health was deteriorating. Skye from Severn Physio has been amazing — with the support of carers he rarely falls now, he is doing more and has gained quality time. It has led to greater socialisation and his hearing even seems better. Thank you, amazing value for money.”
Living well at every age
We support people to keep doing what matters to them — at home, in their community, and in the activities they love.
