A home physiotherapy franchise built on ten years of care

Home Links Physiotherapy brings expert physiotherapy to people in their own homes, care homes and communities. Founder Joanna Ward started the business in 2016 and has grown it into an award-winning service across South East London and Kent, trusted by GPs, consultants, charities and families.

A Home Links franchise lets you build that same service in your own area, under a brand that already has a reputation behind it. Every week your team helps people walk again, stay independent and stay at home.
