"Would highly recommend this company. My physio was Sheena — she was the light at the end of the tunnel after breaking my hip and badly bruising my knee after a fall. She gave me the confidence to do all the exercises with great results. Within 3 months of my op I was swimming, taking long walks and driving. Thank you Sheena for all your help!"

We Match You

Home Visit
Your therapist visits you at home — usually within a few days. No travel stress, no waiting rooms, just expert care in your own space.
Why Choose Home Visits in Ferndown?
Ferndown is a thriving town in East Dorset with a large population of older residents. While the area has excellent local amenities, getting to clinic appointments isn't always easy — especially after surgery, a hospital stay, or when mobility is limited. Our home visit service removes the stress of travel so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
Treatment in Your Real Environment
We assess and treat you in your own home — practising on your stairs, getting in and out of your chair, and using your bathroom. This makes therapy immediately relevant.
No Waiting Lists
As a private practice, we don't have NHS-style waiting times. Most Ferndown patients are seen within days of their first call — essential when you've just left hospital.
Family Can Be Involved
Home visits mean family members or carers can easily join sessions, learn exercises, and understand how to support recovery between appointments.

Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 27 reviews.
"We had Seena help my 91 year old mum recover from a hip replacement operation last year. Seena was excellent at encouraging my mum to do all the appropriate exercises and getting her confidence back after her fall. We have been very pleased with the results. We have been using Seena on a weekly basis for 10 months as we see the benefit she is giving to my mum. She would not be as strong on her feet if we did not have Seena helping us. Thank you Seena."
— Carole Richmond
"Our father aged 98 had a fall and fractured his leg. When he came out of hospital he was advised to have regular physiotherapy to get him walking again. Seena worked with him on a regular basis for about 3 months and our father can now get around on his own again. Without Seena's skill, encouragement and patience I don't think we would be where we are today. She also kindly gave us regular updates on his progress. We are very grateful for all Seena has done and would unhesitatingly recommend her."
