Rob is the founder of Recovery at Home Physio and a specialist home visit physiotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. He qualified from the University of Sheffield and has since built a career around delivering high-quality, person-centred physiotherapy to people in their own homes and within Private Practice Clinics.
Rob began his career in the NHS, working across acute hospital wards, rehabilitation units and community teams. This gave him broad experience in orthopaedic rehabilitation, neurological recovery, falls prevention and the management of long-term conditions. He went on to specialise in home-based rehabilitation, having seen first-hand how much more effective treatment can be when it takes place in the environment where a person actually lives, moves and functions.
Rob's approach is thorough and unhurried. He takes time to understand not just the physical problem in front of him, but the whole person — their goals, their home setup, their daily routine and the people who support them. Every treatment plan He creates is tailored to the individual and designed to be realistic, sustainable and meaningful.
What Rob enjoys most about home visits is the connection He builds with patients and their families. He finds it hugely rewarding to watch someone regain confidence after a fall, walk again after surgery, or simply feel more comfortable and independent in their own home. He believes that rehabilitation is about far more than exercises — it is about helping people get back to doing the things that matter to them.
Outside of work, Rob enjoys staying active, walking in the Peak District with his family, and supporting local community health initiatives across Greater Manchester.
