Both my grandmothers lived this reality. One lost her life to delayed care; the other still fights to speak after months of under-dosed therapy. Their stories are why HoliHab insists on three therapeutic hours every day.
Specialist stroke and neurological rehabilitation delivered in your own home — at the intensity recovery actually requires. A clear plan, a responsive team, and a pathway you can follow.
60–90 minutes, in your own home
After leaving hospital, most stroke survivors receive far less rehabilitation than national guidelines recommend. In the UK national stroke audit, the average patient received about 14 minutes of physiotherapy a day on the ward (Gittins et al. 2020, n=94,905) — and no national audit measures the dose delivered once people go home. Recovery doesn't stall because people can't improve. It stalls because they're under-dosed.
HoliHab was built to close that gap: intensive, structured, task-specific rehabilitation delivered where life actually happens — at home.
Sources: UK national stroke audit (Gittins et al., Clin Rehabil 2020; SSNAP) and NICE guideline NG236 (2023). The evidence is not one-sided: one trial (Lang et al., Ann Neurol 2016, n=85) found no dose-response effect from repetitions alone, and a 2021 Cochrane review found gains in daily activities were not statistically significant.

The rehabilitation intensity NICE now recommends — at least 5 days a week, and what HoliHab is built to deliver (NG236).

Seven pillars that turn isolated exercises into a recovery environment — woven into how someone actually lives, not just what happens in a session.
Every session led or supervised by an HCPC-registered neuro-physiotherapist with stroke experience. Caseloads are capped for quality.
Recovery sticks when it's social. Graduates become Holi Heroes — mentoring newcomers and keeping the spark alive.
Dopamine fuels plasticity. VR therapy, games and meaningful challenge rack up the repetitions the brain needs to rewire.
Protecting the gains. Secondary-stroke prevention through BP monitoring, lifestyle coaching and working alongside your GP.
Observed therapy sessions average around 32 upper-limb repetitions (Lang et al. 2009); around 300 an hour is achievable in focused practice. We schedule the dose and count every repetition.
Wearables, motion tracking and a clear dashboard turn tiny gains into visible proof — and let us adjust the dose in real time.
Fear, grief and carer fatigue derail recovery faster than spasticity. We start every visit with a one-minute mood check, use simple psychological tools, and schedule regular wellbeing check-ins — because the mind leads the body.
Every patient is recommended the programme that gives the best realistic chance of reaching their goals — clinically led, never simply the one that's easiest to sell.
Structured weekly expert support with guided self-management.
Higher-frequency rehab with habit formation and family training.
High-intensity, integrated daily rehabilitation and support.
Booster packs available where clinically appropriate. We discuss financial sustainability openly — and never recommend a programme likely to cause strain.
From your first call to your first session, the path is clear and unhurried.
Call or message us. We respond quickly — usually within the hour during working times.
A warm conversation to understand the situation, the goals, and whether we're the right fit.
A full clinical assessment in your home, with a written plan and an honest recommendation.
Onboarding, your team, your schedule, and a pathway you and your family can follow.
We have limited founders' places open. Talk to us — no obligation, just honest guidance about the right next step.
60-min home assessment · 2 weeks of intensive sessions · an 8-week recovery plan to keep even if you don't continue.
