After an accident, illness, or surgery, a patient is often required to go through physical therapy. Very often, a patient isn’t ill enough to remain in a hospital or a facility for their physical therapy or they don’t want to rehab in an institutional setting. A home physical therapy service can come to their home and deliver the same quality care they’d receive staying in a rehabilitation facility or traveling to one several times a week. Home therapy can include physical or occupational therapy and speech pathology. These services will be in accordance with the physician’s protocol for the patient.
A variety of disorders or delays that speech pathology can assist with are:
* Dysphagia, also known as swallowing
Voice disorders
Articulation disorders
Social language use or pragmatic disorders
Auditory processing
Oral motor and feeding issues
Fluency and stuttering
And much more.
Swallowing can be difficult for older adults, babies, and individuals that have problems with their brain or nervous system. Some problems that prevent the esophagus from working properly can be minor and others can be very serious. When a patient has difficulty swallowing on a regular basis, physical therapy can help them regain as much use as possible of the esophagus. Home physical therapy service helps an individual regain their independence with daily activities in the comfort of their own home. They can regain productivity, independence, and maximum functional ability. Patients that receive therapy at home can feel at ease and the therapist will address things that could affect their recovery.
An individual that had a hip or knee replacement can benefit tremendously by in-home physical therapy. They will be living in their real-life situation, and the physical therapist will help gain their mobility, strength, and freedom to begin walking again. Occupational therapy can help an individual regain walking, dressing, and feeding skills they may have lost because of a surgical procedure, illness, or injury.
