Home Care Specialist

What is home care?

Home care provides the same level of physical and occupational therapy you would get at a regular outpatient visit in the comfort and convenience of your own living space. Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC’s team of licensed therapists provides home care to people ages 12 and older. 

What should I expect from physical therapy home care?

You don’t need an expensive home gym to receive excellent physical therapy in your house, but your therapist may bring light equipment to assist with resistance training. At Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC, home care is comparable to typical outpatient therapy in regard to its goals, delivery, and the breadth of conditions your physical therapist can treat.

Depending on your condition, overall health, and movement goals, your customized physical therapy home care plan may include:

• Targeted stretches and strengthening exercises
• Electrical stimulation
• Cold laser therapy
• Manual therapies like massage and myofascial release
• Hot and cold compresses

Home care allows your therapist to observe you as you move in your normal environment. This helps them create a more personalized therapy plan based on your usual activities and surroundings.

Why would I need home care?

Home care makes physical and occupational therapy available and accessible to people who have difficulty getting to an outpatient appointment because of pain or mobility restrictions. Conditions that may require home care physical or occupational therapy include:

• Postsurgical recovery from a total joint replacement
• Severe fractures
• Stroke
• Heart attack
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

If you’re recovering from an injury, illness, or surgery that keeps you from moving normally, home care with the team at Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC may be right for you.

What are the benefits of home care physical therapy?

Home care ensures you get the physical and occupational therapy you need, even at times when leaving your house is a burden. As your condition improves, your functional mobility and independence may soon follow. At that point, you may want to continue with outpatient physical therapy, or you can use the telehealth option available at Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC.
