Louise Payne, started Rehab at Home Mid Sussex

Lifelong Hurst resident and chartered physiotherapist Louise Payne has recently set up her own business called Rehab at Home (Mid Sussex), which she will run alongside her current NHS and hospice work.

Born and brought up in Hurstpierpoint, Louise lives with her husband and two grown-up sons, with both her boys following in her footsteps by attending St Lawrence and Downlands schools and are now both in further or higher education.

“I enjoy running and you may see me pounding the pavements of Hurst, and four years ago I ran the Brighton Marathon in aid of St Peter & St James Hospice. As a family we all enjoy village life, especially the St Lawrence Fair which I’ve tried to attend every year since my childhood.”

Louise is a chartered physiotherapist with over 25 years experience working in the NHS and is the Senior Community Physiotherapist / Team Leader at The Princess Royal Hospital. She also works part time as a Senior Palliative Care Physiotherapist at St Peter & St James Hospice.

She hopes the new venture will provide a community physiotherapy service to allow individuals to restore and maintain independence and function within and around their own home as well as offering community physiotherapy after completion of NHS rehabilitation.

“Having worked for the NHS for the past 27 years, it has been evident to me that there is a gap in the services provided for the elderly or patients with long term conditions and through Rehab at Home, I hope to fill this gap.”
