Home Health Physical Therapy
Our licensed home health physical therapists find it very rewarding as they assist people to reclaim their mobility, independence and daily routines in their own home. The advantages of receiving physical therapy at home are mastering the daily tasks which take place in the home, and to increase safety. It is in the home setting where most accidents occur and having the PT there allows them to assess home safety, set functional goals and work with the patient to maximize their ability, improve strength, balance, coordination and make strides by enhancing their quality of life as their physical impairment declines and mobility increases.
Physical therapists who choose to practice in home health often describe themselves as having a greater sense of autonomy, uninterrupted one-on-one time with patients, and deep appreciation from patients and their families.

How Will A Home Health Physical Therapist Help Me?
A home health care physical therapist will assist you in regaining strength, balance, coordination and movement when you experience a decline in function, specific to your diagnosis (arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, neurological impairment, general weakness in upper body) or following a heart attack, stroke, surgery, broken hip, joint replacements, shoulder injury or other hospitalization.
Through therapeutic exercises you can achieve enhanced gait performance, range of motion, strengthening and endurance.
The home health physical therapist will work with you in prosthetic training, spasticity reduction or muscle re-education depending on your need.
For improved ADL (personal care) function he/she will demonstrate and teach safe ambulation and transfer techniques with or without assistive devices (ie. walking, getting out of bed, up from sitting, maneuvering safely with a walker or wheelchair) and develop a home exercise program with you to maintain muscle tone and mobility.
