What is In-Home Physical Therapy and What Are Its Benefits?

If your doctor has recommended physical therapy, you are required to make an appointment and go into your therapist's office or clinic. But did you know there is an option where you can have the therapy you need at your very own home? Yes, you read it right, and it is called in-home physical therapy. The physical therapists will meet you anywhere you are most convenient, whether it is in your home, office, or even at the gym, to ensure you can continue with your physical therapy treatment.

Benefits of In-Home Physical Therapy

Prevent Falls & Major Injuries
As people age, people are at risk for falls and potential injuries because their physical strength and balance tend to decline. The therapists will travel to patient's homes to assess their muscle strength, mobility, and functionality. They will provide a customized and personalized therapy program to each patient that suits best their age and therapy needs. And this will ensure that the therapy procedure will be safe and effective for the patient.

Pain Management
Physical therapy is a fundamental tool for pain management. Most people and health care providers choose physical therapy over medications for safe, effective, and reliable pain management.

Education
In in-home physical therapy, mostly therapists teach patients effective ways to use their bodies most efficiently as possible. They show some techniques to decrease the risk of falls and injuries. Part of the education process includes assessing the need for adaptive equipment, such as ramps, handrails, canes, or walkers if stairs are not an option.

Improved Mobility & Surgery Recovery
For patients looking for a therapy treatment following major surgery, in-home physical therapy may be a necessity, either for the short-term or for the longer term.

Sometimes, in-home physical therapy is focused on tasks you usually do at home, such as moving up and down the stairs, sitting and standing, or others.
