Why we like this
Most of the planning before surgery goes into the surgery itself. Almost none goes into the first week home, and that's usually where people feel least prepared.Four tools that cover the practical gaps that show up early, plus a bottle because recovery takes energy. The shoe horn is steel rather than plastic, because it's the one piece you'll still be using long after the rest has gone in a drawer.

Who is this for?
- You have hip replacement surgery booked and want to prepare before you come home
- You're in the first few weeks of hip replacement recovery and need practical support
- Your surgeon or physiotherapist has recommended positioning aids and gentle activation tools
- You want everything ready in one order rather than sourcing items separately before surgery
Always follow the specific rehabilitation protocol and movement restrictions given by your surgical team. Individual recovery plans vary significantly between procedures.

Exercise Ball: only use for exercises cleared by your treating team. Stop if you experience sharp pain.
Pillow: if you have specific positioning instructions after surgery, always confirm correct use with your surgeon or physiotherapist before use.

The physio behind the store
I built this store because I was already recommending this equipment in sessions every day. As a mobile physio working in people's homes, I know what actually fits a real living room, a real bedroom, a real kitchen and what older adults will actually use.
Everything here has been in my kit bag, used with real clients, and chosen because it works in the home environment, not just in a clinic.

Getting ready before surgery:
-
Pack it with your hospital bag — have it ready before you need it, not something you're sourcing after you're home
-
Leg lifter — loop around the heel, not the toes, for controlled and secure movement
-
Grabber — keep it beside the bed and in the kitchen; the two places bending is hardest to avoid early on
-
Shoe horn — hang it by the door you actually use, and angle the handle out to the side rather than straight down
-
Exercise ball — only for the exercises your surgeon or physio gives you, once they've cleared it
-
Pillow — if you add one, pick based on how you sleep and your surgeon's positioning instructions, not just preference
General use items, not prescribed aids. If your surgeon, physiotherapist or occupational therapist has recommended something specific, follow that first.
What makes us different
Everything on this store is something we actually use. It's in our kit bag. We bring it into real sessions with real clients, week after week. If it's here, it's because we've tried it, trusted it, and seen how people actually use it at home.
We're not trying to sell you everything. The range is curated for older adults building strength and independence at home, and simplicity is the whole point. You don't need a home gym. You don't need to be an expert.
As a mobile physio practice, we can only reach so many people in person. This store is how we share what works with everyone else.
Movement keeps you going
The evidence is clear: it is never too late to start. A few minutes of movement most days is a good place to start. You don't need a gym, a trainer, or a complicated programme. You need simple equipment that works at home and a reason to pick it up.
Three things regular movement may help maintain
-
Muscle StrengthWe naturally lose muscle mass as we age. Resistance exercise is one of the most effective tools for slowing that process — at any age.
-
Balance & StabilityBalance is a skill, and it responds to regular practice.
-
Independence at HomePeople over 65 benefit more from adequate fitness than any other age group — to maintain independence, recover from illness, and reduce disease risk.
