Home Physical Therapy
Restore Movement, Strength, and Mobility Safely at Home.
Functional Recovery Where You Need It Most
Our physical therapists help restore movement, balance, and independence by bringing expert care right to your residence. Whether you are recovering from a joint replacement, managing chronic pain, or seeking to reduce your risk of falling, HCR Home Care’s home physical therapy is a focused, effective path back to full mobility.
Our licensed physical therapists work with you one-on-one to create a tailored rehabilitation plan. By conducting therapy sessions in your actual living environment, we ensure that every exercise and every goal directly translates to safer, more independent living. If you are searching for physical therapy at home that is centered on achieving your personal mobility goals, look no further than HCR Home Care.
The Essential Role of Home Health Physical Therapy
Home health PT is an indispensable service for individuals who are homebound or whose condition makes it difficult or unsafe to travel to an outpatient clinic. Our services are crucial for patients seeking to regain fundamental physical function, stamina, and safety following a significant medical event. We treat the physical impairment and the functional limitations it causes in daily life.
Common scenarios where HCR Physical Therapy provides essential support include:
-
Post-Surgical Recovery: Orthopedic procedures such as hip and knee replacement, shoulder surgery, or post-cardiac procedures requiring monitored recovery.
-
Balance and Gait Deficits: Individuals with inner ear issues, muscle weakness, or neurological conditions that increase the risk of dangerous falls.
-
Neurological Conditions: Recovery from a stroke, management of symptoms related to Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, or general mobility issues related to dementia.
-
Generalized Weakness/Deconditioning: Loss of muscle mass and stamina following an extended hospital stay or acute illness.
Our Core In-Home Physical Therapy Services
Our customized rehabilitation programs utilize the latest therapeutic techniques to maximize your recovery and independence. Key services delivered by our expert physical therapists include:
Balance Training and Strengthening
Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults. Our therapists implement targeted, evidence-based exercises to improve core stability, coordination, and gait patterns. This training often includes dynamic activities like practicing weight shifts, negotiating varied surfaces (carpets, hardwood, rugs), and safely getting up from a chair or the floor. We focus not just on muscle strength but on improving the nervous system's response to maintain equilibrium.
Home Safety Assessments and Mobility Support
The greatest value of in-home therapy is the comprehensive safety assessment performed by the therapist who intimately knows your mobility status. We identify potential hazards in your home (loose rugs, poor lighting, obstacles) and recommend simple, yet critical, modifications to enhance safety. We also provide crucial training on the safe use of mobility aids, such as canes, walkers, and wheelchairs, ensuring proper fitting and technique.
​
Pain Management and Movement Re-education
Physical therapy is a highly effective, non-pharmacological approach to managing acute and chronic pain. Our therapists use manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, heat/cold modalities, and electrical stimulation (as needed and ordered) to reduce pain. We also focus on movement re-education, teaching patients proper body mechanics, posture, and lifting techniques to reduce strain, prevent re-injury, and move through daily life with greater comfort.
Equipment Recommendations and Training
When adaptive equipment is necessary to ensure safety and independence, our physical therapists recommend the appropriate type of device—from hospital beds and lift systems to grab bars and shower seating. Crucially, we provide hands-on training to the patient and family members on the correct and safe use of this equipment, facilitating a smooth transition back to independent living.
