OTTER Therapy

OTTER Therapy Rob Padwick is the owner and founder of OTTER Therapy, which he originally set up in 2006.

Our mission is to empower older adults to live safely and independently at home through a single, comprehensive occupational therapy visit, effectively addressing fall risks and providing immediate equipment solutions. He has 24 years experience as an Occupational Therapist and is proud to specialise in the treatment of older adults. He graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupa

tional Therapy from Southampton University. Since then he has worked in multiple clinical disciplines both in NHS hospitals, adult social care and in private care. After initially establishing a thriving practice in Salisbury, specialising in pre and post joint replacement therapy, Rob began to specialise in home assessments exploring ways to help older adults feel safer at home. Rob is passionate about preventing unnecessary admissions into hospital for reasons that, with advice and professional guidance, could be avoided. Rob brings his extensive experience and love of working one-to-one with older adults, to help those struggling to remain independent at home, live more fulfilled and safer lives, giving them and their families or loved ones peace of mind. Rob is registered with the Health Care Professions Council and holds an enhanced DBS certificate.

🌿 Worried About an Older Relative? You’re Not Alone - and We’re Here to Help. 🌿

At Otter Therapy, we know how stressful it can feel when you’re worried that an older family member might be struggling at home. You may notice small changes - mobility becoming harder, daily routines slipping, or just a sense that something isn’t quite right.
Reaching out for help can feel daunting, but a supportive assessment can make all the difference.

Recently, we visited the father of two brothers, Steve and James from Warminster, who were becoming increasingly concerned about his safety, mobility, and day-to-day independence. After spending time with their father, understanding not just the home layout but also his medical needs and daily challenges, we created a detailed report outlining exactly what would help him stay safe and supported.

Their words meant the world to us:

“We cannot thank Rob Padwick at Otter Therapy enough for the incredible support he provided to our father. Rob conducted a remarkably thorough and professional home assessment that went far beyond just looking at the physical layout of the property. He took the time to completely understand our father’s medical history, and, most importantly, the daily challenges he faces with mobility and personal care.

The resulting report was exceptionally detailed and was the key factor in us finally getting the attention and support needed from Wiltshire Council and Selwood Housing. Rob is professional, highly observant, and deeply compassionate... If you are looking for an Occupational Therapist who truly ‘gets it’ and will advocate for your loved one, we highly recommend Otter Therapy.”
- Steve & James Jennings, Warminster

💛 Their experience is exactly why we do what we do.

If you’re worried about an older parent or loved one, here’s how we can help:

✔️ Holistic home assessments — not just the environment, but the person
✔️ Clear, practical recommendations to support safety, dignity, and independence
✔️ Advocacy and evidence to help secure the right support from councils and housing providers
✔️ Compassionate, person‑centred occupational therapy that looks beyond checklists

You don’t have to navigate this alone. If something doesn’t feel right at home for your loved one, a conversation is a great place to start.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has liked or recommended OTTER Therapy since we started in December 2025. I have met amazing people in networking groups and have had wonderful feedback from those gorgeous older adults that have wanted support.
Thank you to them. Looking forward to more OT work as the year goes by Therapy for older adults

I gave a 2 hour presentation on falls prevention at Henford House, Warminster- a nursing and residential care home yesterday. https://www.barchester.com/home/henford-house-care-home?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=local

Thank you to the manager, Trish, for inviting me.

I am so grateful to those who turned up to hear me talk about how Occupational Therapy home assessments and interventions can prevent unnecessary falls.

Falls are not an inevitable part of getting older.
They can be prevented.

The oldest person attending was 98.
'I keep telling all those who sit in chairs and say they can't do anything, to stay positive and active and get up!', she said.

She can come and work for me and help promote OTTER Therapy! There's a job waiting for her.

We are holding an Open Day on Saturday 24th January. Please come along to meet the team and find out more about life in our home.
