In-Home Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is the rehabilitative process of restoring physical function and mobility & maintaining independence in the home & community. Home Physical Therapy is a comprehensive experience that begins with an initial evaluation and extends through the restorative and preventative stages of recovery.
What does a In-home physical therapist do?
In-Home Physical therapists (PTs) are highly trained health care professionals who treat individuals with medical conditions that limit their functional mobility in the comfort of there own home. A physical therapist will start by preforming an initial evaluation, develop a treatment plan based on evaluation results to improve the ability to address pain reduction, restore functional mobility, & prevent disability. Physical therapists also take preemptive measures, working with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs through the development of targeted fitness and wellness programs.
When our physical therapist visit your home, the evaluation process will typically consist of taking the patient’s medical history, conducting a systems review, and performing tests and measures to identify potential and existing problems. To establish treatment plans, physical therapists then perform evaluations, synthesizing the examination data and determining how to address the patients problems. Based on their clinical reasoning, physical therapists then offer consultations, develop & implement treatment & home safety plans, conduct re-examinations, and develop and implement discharge plans.
