Home Physiotherapy Services In Southampton
At EJ Home Physiotherapy, we help you stay strong, independent, and confident in your own home. When injury, illness, or surgery affects your mobility, we provide personalised, whole-person physiotherapy designed to help you move better and live well.
Our services include initial in-home assessments, ongoing follow-up visits, and Ask Libby online physiotherapy appointments, giving you flexible, expert support wherever you are.
Initial Assessment £120
What’s included in your initial physiotherapy assessment?
Your first physiotherapy appointment is a comprehensive, one-to-one assessment held in your own home, designed to fully understand you, your symptoms, and what matters most to you.
We take the time to listen carefully and assess thoroughly, so your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs.
During your initial assessment, we will:
• Take a detailed history
We’ll discuss your current problem, how it started, how it affects your day-to-day life, and any relevant medical history, medications, or previous injuries.
• Understand your goals
Whether your aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, return to activity, or maintain independence, we’ll agree clear and realistic goals together.
• Carry out a physical assessment
This may include assessment of posture and movement, joint range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility, balance and coordination, gait (walking pattern), and functional activities relevant to your daily life. All assessments are explained clearly and carried out at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
• Provide a clear explanation
You’ll receive an honest, easy-to-understand explanation of what’s going on, why you’re experiencing your symptoms, and what can be done to help.
• Begin treatment where appropriate
Treatment often starts in the first session and may include guided exercises, movement advice, and strategies to manage your balance and mobility.
• Create a personalised treatment plan
After a full assessment you will have a clear idea of recommended treatment, home exercises (if appropriate), and advice to support your recovery or long-term wellbeing.
How long does it last?
Initial assessments typically last 60 minutes, allowing time for a full assessment, discussion, and treatment without feeling rushed.
Supportive, respectful care
Physiotherapy sessions are calm, patient, and respectful. Family members or carers are very welcome to be present if helpful. Our focus is on helping you feel safer, stronger, and more confident in your own home.
Follow-Up Visits £90
What’s included in your follow-up physiotherapy visits?
Follow-up physiotherapy appointments build on your initial assessment and are designed to support ongoing progress, review how you are getting on, and adapt treatment as needed.
These sessions are shorter, while still allowing time for care, reassurance, and discussion.
During a follow-up visit, we will:
• Review your progress
We’ll talk through how you’ve been feeling since your last appointment, what has improved, and any new or ongoing concerns.
• Reassess movement and function
We may re-check strength, balance, walking, or specific movements to ensure treatment remains appropriate and effective.
• Continue treatment
Treatment may include, supported exercises, balance work, or movement practice tailored to your current ability and energy levels.
• Progress or adapt exercises
Exercises are adjusted gradually and safely, taking into account fatigue, confidence, and how you manage day to day.
• Provide ongoing advice and reassurance
We’ll offer practical advice to help with daily activities, pacing, confidence with movement, and managing symptoms between visits.
How long do follow-up visits last?
Follow-up appointments typically last 45 minutes, depending on your needs and treatment plan.
A supportive, familiar approach
Care is calm, respectful, and unhurried. The aim is to help you maintain progress, feel more confident with movement, and stay as independent as possible in your own home.
Family members or carers are always welcome to be present if helpful.
'Ask Libby’ – Online Physiotherapy Advice
What’s included in your 'Ask Libby' session?
Ask Libby’ is an online physiotherapy advice service for when you need expert guidance, reassurance, or direction, but may not require a physical appointment.
It is ideal if you have a question about pain, movement, exercise, or recovery and would like clear, honest advice from an experienced physiotherapist.
What ‘Ask Libby’ can help with:
• New aches or pains where you’re unsure what to do next
• Flare-ups of existing problems
• Advice on exercises you’ve been given previously
• Guidance on staying active safely
• Questions about mobility, balance, or confidence with movement
• Understanding whether physiotherapy would be helpful
• Deciding if you need a face-to-face assessment or can manage independently
How it works:
‘Ask Libby’ consultations take place online, by video call or phone, at a time that suits you.
During your session, Libby will listen carefully to your concerns, ask relevant questions, offer clear practical advice, suggest exercises or self-management strategies where appropriate, and advise honestly if a face-to-face assessment is recommended.
‘Ask Libby’ is for advice and guidance, not hands-on treatment or formal diagnosis. If at any point it becomes clear that an in-person assessment would be more appropriate, this will be discussed openly with you.
‘Ask Libby’ – Frequently Asked Questions
Is ‘Ask Libby’ the same as a physiotherapy appointment?
No. Ask Libby is an online advice service. It focuses on listening, guidance, and practical advice rather than in person physical examination.
What kinds of problems can I ask about?
You can ask about pain, stiffness, mobility, balance, exercises, flare-ups of existing conditions, or whether physiotherapy might help. It’s also useful if you’re unsure whether you need a face-to-face appointment.
Can I use ‘Ask Libby’ instead of an in-person visit?
Sometimes, yes. Many issues can be managed with advice and exercises alone. If a home visit or in-person assessment would be more appropriate, this will be discussed openly with you.
Will I be given a diagnosis?
‘Ask Libby’ provides advice and guidance, not a formal diagnosis. If further assessment is needed, this will be explained clearly.
How does the appointment take place?
Appointments are held online, either by video call or phone, depending on what you prefer.
How long is an ‘Ask Libby’ session?
Sessions typically last 30 minutes, allowing time to talk through your concerns without feeling rushed.
Is this suitable for older adults?
Yes. Ask Libby is well suited to older adults. Family members or carers are welcome to join the call if helpful.
Is ‘Ask Libby’ confidential?
Yes. All discussions are private and treated confidentially, in line with professional standards.
