Why Physical Therapy?
Convenience
Comfort
Accessibility
The accessibility of therapy makes it easier to get the services you need. This is especially important if mobility issues, chronic illness or lack of transportation make clinic visits challenging.
Customized Care
Assessing the Home Environment
The physical therapist conducts an initial evaluation of the home to identify potential safety risks or barriers to functional movement. They may make recommendations such as:
- Installing grab bars, railings, raised toilet seats and other adaptive devices
- Improving lighting, reducing clutter or removing rugs
- Adjusting furniture layouts to improve accessibility
The therapist adapts exercise programs and treatment plans to the home setting. For example, they may incorporate stepping up stairs or sitting down in chairs into exercises.
