Physical and Occupational Therapy at Home

 Our Physical and occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who provide essential services to patients who require rehabilitation and recovery from injury or illness. When working in the context of home health, our therapists play a vital role in helping patients regain their physical abilities and independence while staying in the comfort of their own homes.

Physical therapists specialize in treating physical impairments that affect a patient's mobility and physical function. When working in home health, a physical therapist would start by assessing the patient's current physical abilities, range of motion, and strength. Based on this assessment, the physical therapist would develop a personalized treatment plan to help the patient regain their physical abilities and improve their quality of life.

Some of the tasks that our physical therapist would carry out during home health visits include teaching the patient exercises to improve strength and mobility, helping the patient to walk and move safely, and providing assistance with the use of mobility aids such as crutches or walkers.

Our Occupational therapists, on the other hand, specialize in helping our patients to regain their independence in carrying out daily activities such as dressing, grooming, and preparing meals.

When working in home health, an occupational therapist would assess the patient's ability to carry out these activities and develop a personalized plan to help them regain their independence.

Some of the tasks that an occupational therapist would carry out during home health visits include teaching the patient adaptive strategies to carry out daily activities, recommending modifications to the patient's home environment to improve safety and accessibility, and providing education and training to the patient's family members or caregivers.

Overall, physical and occupational therapists play a critical role in helping patients regain their physical abilities and independence after an injury or illness. By providing personalized care and support within the context of the patient's home environment, these healthcare professionals help patients to achieve their recovery goals and improve their quality of life.
