When your body is in pain after an accident, during recovery from a surgical procedure, or has exacerbation from disease, physical therapy can be one of the greatest benefits to get yourself back to peak physical condition
Physical therapy is a prescribed exercise treatment program that assigns patients to a physical therapist who assists them with:
Stretches and exercises
Improved mobile ability in a targeted area
Assistance with adaptive mobility devices
The goal of physical therapy is to help a patient recover from their immobile state as quickly and as safely as possible. While most physical therapy programs are scheduled at a medical facility, many patients are able to receive individualized physical therapy in their home when homebound and unable to travel to a facility.
Who Qualifies for In-Home Physical Therapy?
Any patient with an injury or illness that limits their natural mobility is a candidate for at-home physical therapy. If your injury or recovery doesn’t allow you to leave your home, then in-home physical therapy may be an ideal alternative treatment option in the comfort of your recovery.
