Home Health Physical Therapy | In-Home PT for Seniors & Adults

After a hospital stay or joint replacement, we begin recovery at home, following your surgeon's protocol and monitoring vitals, swelling, and incision precautions. Sessions focus on gentle range-of-motion, progressive strengthening, gait and stair work, and safe transfers in your familiar spaces. You receive a clear home exercise plan, pacing guidance, caregiver coaching, and we update your physician to keep care aligned.

We start with a thorough fall risk check of strength, balance, footwear, and home layout. Your program includes progressive strengthening, targeted balance practice, and real-life tasks like turning, navigating hallways, and stepping over thresholds. We teach safer sit-to-stand, steadier gait patterns, and balance recovery, and recommend simple home changes for added safety.

Comfort guides our approach. We use positioning, heat or cold, gentle soft tissue work, and graded movement to ease stiffness without flares. You learn pacing, breathing, relaxation strategies, and body mechanics that reduce strain during daily tasks. If your pain changes or needs medical review, we coordinate promptly with your physician.

We help choose the right device, adjust it to the proper height, and train you to use it confidently on rugs, curbs, stairs, and in tight spaces. Practice includes safe turning, rollator braking, carrying items, and sit-to-stand and car transfers. We also guide safe progression to a less supportive device when ready and teach caregivers how to assist.

Gentle stretching and active-assisted exercises reduce stiffness and restore comfortable joint movement. When appropriate, we add soft tissue and scar techniques and postural work to support easier breathing and endurance. Exercises link to everyday goals like dressing, reaching, and checking traffic, with a short home program and careful monitoring of soreness and progress.
