Physical Therapy At Home

 

 

 

Many times following a surgery or injury, you may have a very difficult time leaving your home.  Your doctor may recommend a Home Health Agency to provide Skilled Physical Therapy Services in your home.  Your insurance may cover these services if you meet certain eligibility criteria, such as: your doctor agrees to the necessity of home care, leaving the home takes a considerable and taxing effort or is not recommended due to your condition, you need a wheelchair or walker or special transportation to leave your home, or you need the assist of another person to leave your home.  If you meet these requirements, you are considered "homebound."  A Physical Therapist may be able to provide treatment in your home.  However, these treatments are limited and do not last forever.  The goal of the therapist will be to help you return to your prior level of function.  When the therapist feels you have reached your goals or met your maximum progression level, you will be discharged.  At that time, you may still feel it to be taxing and difficult to attend any outpatient Physical Therapy visits in a clinic in order to make further progress.  This is where your Home Exercise Program is most important, and Strength OnDemand is here to help.  Strength On Demand offers Physical Therapy video exercise programs on DVD for multiple conditions.  These DVDs explain the necessary exercises, thoroughly discussing the techniques, benefits, and reasons behind doing each activity.  Included is a 15-20 minute follow along routine that you can perform daily.  The workout is already devised for you!  You just have to press 'PLAY' on the DVD player and continue working towards a full return to your prior activity level.  Check out Strength On Demand Protocols to get started today!  You can also purchase many common Physical Therapy related exercise tools here, such as resistance bands, so that you do not have to leave your home to purchase them!    Get started on your road to recovery today!
