However, in-home physical therapy might be right for you and your family!

1. Convenience: One of the primary benefits is the convenience it provides. 

2. Personalized Attention: In-home physical therapy allows for individualized and personalized care. 

3. Familiar Surrounds: A familiar environment may reduce stress. 

4. Enhanced Functional Training: In-home physical therapy allows for an accurate assessment of function in daily living spaces ensuring that therapy is tailored to real life needs.

5. Empowered Family Involvement and Education: In-home physical therapy offers an opportunity for family members or caregivers to be actively involved in the rehabilitation process.

 The Power of In-Home Physical Therapy

Imagine a world where therapy comes to you, and home becomes the backdrop for healing, getting stronger, and gaining confidence. In-home physical therapy is all about creating personalized, real-life, solution-based care that empowers families and transforms everyday life. Let’s explore how the in-home physical therapy approach differs from other approaches.

When children or adults are enrolled in outpatient physical therapy, their physical therapist focuses on exercises and hands-on techniques to improve strength and mobility, increase functional ability (including gross motor milestones for children), and address pain as needed. The outpatient setting provides access to specialized equipment that enhances the rehabilitation process.

When children are enrolled in school-based physical therapy, the therapist works to improve the student's ability to participate in school-related tasks, activities, and routines. The primary goal is to enhance the student's ability to engage with their academic and social environment.

In-home physical therapy emphasizes real-world, home-based tasks and rehabilitation. Like outpatient therapy, in-home physical therapists use exercises and hands-on techniques to improve strength, mobility, and manage pain. In-home physical therapists also assess a patient’s living environment and offer personalized suggestions to improve safety and function at home. Additionally, in-home physical therapy encourages family involvement, teaching family members how to assist with the patient’s care.

Benefits of In-Home Physical Therapy

1. Convenient
       In-home therapy eliminates the need for travel. 
2. Personalized
       In-home physical therapy focuses on individual needs. Treatment goals are      based on improving motor skills, gaining strength, or recovering from      surgery or injury. For children with different abilities, receiving      therapy at home provides practice in their natural setting.
3. Real-Life      Functional Training
       In-home physical therapy assesses and addresses daily functional tasks,      such as navigating playing or managing stairs. This ensures therapy is      directly relevant to the child’s or adult’s everyday needs, improving      real-world mobility.
4. Empowering      Families
       In-home therapy empowers families to be actively involved in their child’s      or loved one's rehabilitation. Parents and caregivers learn exercises and      techniques to support the rehabilitation process.
5. Collaboration      with Healthcare Providers
       Physical therapy is most effective when coordinated with other healthcare      providers. The in-home approach ensures that a patient’s care is      well-rounded. In-home physical therapists collaborate with other providers      to align treatment goals to the patient’s overall care plan, while also      helping to communicate the patient’s real-life functional needs and      abilities to other providers.
