Benefits of In-Home Physical Therapy

In-home physical therapy is making it easier for patients to receive their treatments even without going to the clinic. While there are shortcomings for in-home services, such as the higher costs due to travel time and other reimbursements, many patients find that the benefits of in-home physical therapy outweigh any additional costs to spend.

Convenience
Ease and accessibility is always the first thing in-home therapy patients point to when asking them why they choose therapy at home. Instead of dealing with the temperature outside, travel challenges, and other factors, when the therapist comes to the patients, they can focus and concentrate more on the healing process.

One-on-One Care
When a patient is receiving therapy at home, they have the undivided attention of the therapist. When treated at home, patients generally feel that they are receiving a higher quality of care than in the clinic.

Outpatient Can Be Stressful
Some outpatient therapy clinics are large, crowded, and noisy. Many patients can feel overwhelmed or anxious when they are trying to recover from injury or sickness. With in-home care, they may still discern stress due to their condition, but they sense most comfort.

Effectiveness
Studies conducted in 2016 showed that home-based physical therapy treatment was just as effective as outpatient therapy services. It was even more effective in the long term. Patients found that in-home treatments were more intensive and focused because of a personalized treatment plan when the therapist is working with you in the home.

Increased Functionality
When the physical therapist is working in the home, the movements and exercises are immediately more relatable for the patients. Having a routine translate to the patient's known environment, their home, contributes to better compliance and understanding.

Less Can Be More
With in-home therapy treatment services, the therapist can strip down the session for their patients to basics. It can lead the patients to return to basic strength building and flexibility routines which provide them with more things they can do at home. Also, the in-home therapist often finds themselves that they are increasing their skills because of more reliance on their hands, expertise, and creativity.
