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.
