Elderly rehabilitation and exercise

What we do

We provide specialist rehabilitation and exercise programmes for older adults in the comfort of their own homes. Our focus is on improving strength, balance, and mobility so you can stay independent and confident in your daily activities.

Whether you're recovering from an illness, managing a long-term condition, or simply want to maintain your fitness and prevent falls, we tailor our approach to your individual needs and goals.

Who it helps

  • Older adults who want to maintain or improve their mobility and independence
  • People recovering from illness or hospital stays who need support getting back on their feet
  • Those with reduced strength or balance who want to feel safer at home
  • Anyone concerned about falls and looking for practical prevention strategies

What to expect

We start with a thorough assessment of your current mobility, strength, and balance. We'll ask about your goals — whether that's getting up the stairs more easily, walking to the shops, or simply feeling steadier on your feet.

Your exercise programme will be tailored to what you can do now, with gradual progression as you improve. We'll show you exercises you can practice between visits, and we'll adapt them to fit your home environment.

Typical exercises include:

  • Sit-to-stand practice (getting up from a chair)
  • Balance exercises (standing on one leg, weight shifting)
  • Leg strengthening (step-ups, heel raises)
  • Walking practice (indoors and outdoors)
  • Functional tasks (reaching, bending, turning)

Frequently asked questions

How often will I need appointments?

This depends on your needs. Typically, we start with weekly visits and then space them out as you progress. Some people need ongoing support; others achieve their goals in a few sessions.

What if I'm very unsteady on my feet?

That's exactly who we help. We'll start with exercises you can do safely (often sitting or holding onto furniture) and build up gradually.

Can you help with equipment like walking frames?

Yes. We can assess whether you need a walking aid, recommend the right type, and show you how to use it safely.
