About Penarth
Penarth is an affluent seaside town just south of Cardiff, across the Ely estuary, known for its Victorian pier and a notably older, retirement-age population. Many residents are recovering from surgery or a fall, or managing arthritis, Parkinson's or reduced mobility — situations where home-based physiotherapy makes recovery easier and safer.
Claire is an HCPC registered physiotherapist with over 20 years' experience across community, older-adults and disability rehabilitation. She provides home visits throughout Penarth, adapting each plan to your home, your goals and your pace.

Initial assessments typically last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to understand your needs and create a tailored plan.

Which parts of Penarth do you cover?

Can you start rehab after I'm discharged from hospital?
