Who It's For
Someone regaining mobility after surgery, a fall, a stroke, or a hospital stay, particularly when travelling to an outpatient clinic is difficult or unsafe.
Understanding Physical Therapy at Home
Physical therapy at home is the same clinical discipline delivered in an outpatient clinic, with one significant advantage: the therapist sees the actual stairs, the actual bathroom, and the actual chair the person struggles with, and can work on those directly.
It is ordered by a physician and delivered as part of home health care. The therapist sets goals with the person, works toward them over a series of visits, and reports progress back to the ordering physician.
Balance and fall prevention are a large part of the work with older adults, because a fall is one of the most common reasons independence at home ends. Much of what a therapist does is aimed at making that less likely.
Home physical therapy is time-limited and goal-directed. It runs while the person is making measurable progress and ends when the goals are met, which is why a home exercise program to carry on independently is usually part of the plan.
