The Importance of Home-Based Physical Therapy
Receiving physical therapy at home offers numerous benefits. It allows individuals to engage in therapy within the comfort and familiarity of their own environment, which can lead to increased adherence to therapy routines and better overall outcomes. Home-based therapy also enables therapists to incorporate everyday activities into the treatment plan, making the exercises more relevant and practical.

Our therapists conduct comprehensive evaluations to determine the areas of focus, which may include improving strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
