Specialist, whole-person rehabilitation physiotherapy in Lichfield & Staffordshire
Reach Rehab helps adults and children with complex or long-term rehabilitation needs work towards the goals that matter to them. Alongside specialist physiotherapy, we look at the wider barriers to progress, from equipment and everyday environments to family support, facilities and input from other professionals.
Reach Rehab provides home and community visits across Staffordshire, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, north Birmingham, Leicestershire and neighbouring areas.

rehabilitation support
Improving movement. Improving lives.
Reach Rehab Physiotherapy is based in Lichfield and helps people of all ages who find movement and everyday activities more challenging.
We support clients following illness, injury or surgery, as well as people living with complex, lifelong or neurological conditions.
For us, effective rehabilitation is rarely just about completing exercises or treating one part of the body.
We take time to understand the whole person: what they want to achieve, what may be limiting their progress, and what practical or professional support could help them move forward.
Treatment can take place wherever it makes most sense, at home, in a care setting, at school, at a gym, in a pool or elsewhere in the community.
Rehabilitation built around the whole person
We begin with what the person wants to achieve and work backwards to understand what could help or stand in the way. This means looking beyond the immediate physical problem and considering the person’s everyday environment, equipment, support network and wider rehabilitation needs.
Where appropriate, we may assess a client in different environments, explore suitable facilities, research equipment or orthotics, liaise with family members and other professionals, or help identify additional specialist support.
Our role is to make our specialist physiotherapy part of a practical, joined-up route towards meaningful goals.
Rehabilitation shaped around what matters in everyday life.
Seeing how someone moves and functions in the environments they actually use.
Exploring equipment, facilities and practical options instead of simply identifying a barrier.
Working with families, carers and other professionals where appropriate.
Specialist support for complex needs
We frequently work with people whose needs cannot be addressed through a standard exercise programme alone.
They may have a complex condition, several barriers affecting their progress, or require support across different environments and stages of rehabilitation.
- Rehabilitation following surgery or hospital discharge
- Reduced mobility, weakness and falls
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Stroke and acquired brain injury
- Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy and developmental conditions
- Spinal cord injury
- Postural management and equipment advice
- Rehabilitation following complex injury
- Support for families, carers and professional teams

Reach Rehab Specialist Physiotherapy: FAQs
Do you provide specialist physiotherapy at home?
Yes. Reach Rehab provides specialist home-visit physiotherapy for adults and children in Lichfield and the surrounding areas. Depending on the person’s needs, appointments may also take place in care homes, schools, nurseries, colleges, gyms, pools or other suitable community settings. Seeing someone in their usual environment helps us understand the practical barriers affecting their movement, independence and rehabilitation goals.
Which areas do you cover?
Reach Rehab is based in Lichfield, Staffordshire and provides mobile physiotherapy across Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, north Birmingham, Leicestershire, and neighbouring areas. We may be able to travel further depending on the client’s needs, location and clinician availability. Travel charges normally apply when the journey is more than four miles from the clinician’s base. Contact us with the client’s postcode and condition so we can confirm availability and any likely travel costs.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Private clients can self-refer to Reach Rehab without first obtaining a referral from a GP. Simply contact us with details of the condition, location and support required. If treatment will be funded through private medical insurance, you should check the insurer’s requirements before making an appointment. Some insurers may require prior authorisation, a claim number or a medical referral before agreeing to cover home-visit specialist physiotherapy.
Do you treat adults and children?
Yes. Reach Rehab provides specialist physiotherapy for adults, babies, children and young people. Our adult services include neurological, post-operative, mobility and elderly rehabilitation. Our paediatric physiotherapists support children with physical conditions, developmental delays and complex rehabilitation needs, working closely with parents, carers, schools and other professionals. Learn more about our adult rehabilitation and children’s physiotherapy services.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first appointment will be an assessment with a qualified physiotherapist. We will discuss the person’s medical history, current difficulties, everyday environment and rehabilitation goals before completing an appropriate physical assessment. The physiotherapist will then explain their findings and discuss suitable next steps. Some initial treatment or practical advice may also be provided. Appointments usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, although complex assessments may require longer or be completed over two visits.
How much does home-visit physiotherapy cost?
The cost of home-visit specialist physiotherapy varies according to the type and complexity of support required, appointment length, clinician, location, travel time and any additional reporting or administrative work. Fees may also differ for self-funded, insured and medico-legal clients. Travel charges normally apply beyond four miles from the clinician’s base. Contact us for an individual quotation or visit our prices and payment page for more information.
Can you visit care homes and schools?
Yes. Reach Rehab can provide physiotherapy in care homes, schools, nurseries, colleges and other appropriate settings, as well as in the client’s own home. Working in these environments can help us understand the person’s everyday needs and collaborate with relatives, carers, teachers or support staff. Visits must be agreed with the setting in advance and require appropriate consent from the client or, where relevant, their parent, guardian or authorised representative.
