Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, balance, and function for individuals recovering from illness, injury, or surgery. Provided in the home, it helps patients regain independence, reduce pain, and prevent further physical decline — all in a familiar, supportive environment.

Who Needs Physical Therapy?

A physical therapist evaluates the patient’s physical condition, mobility, and safety in the home, then designs a care plan focused on recovery and function. Services may include:

  • Strength and endurance training

  • Balance and gait improvement

  • Pain management techniques

  • Range-of-motion exercises

  • Fall prevention and mobility training

  • Transfer training (e.g., bed to chair, walker use)
