Physical Therapy Services

MemorialCare Home Health’s physical therapists assess and provide treatment to help patients of all ages increase mobility, strength, balance and coordination.

After a fall, prolonged period of illness or surgical procedure, independence is sometimes compromised due to a loss of balance, coordination, muscle tone or joint mobility. In such cases, physical therapy is often prescribed. Physical therapy involves a series of exercises and the manipulation of joints and muscles by a trained professional with the goal of returning patients to their highest possible state of independence.

Physical therapy uses physical activity, exercise, and additional treatments such as massage, to aid in strengthening, healing and relieving pain after an injury, illness or operation. MemorialCare Home Health’s physical therapists assess and provide treatment to help patients of all ages increase mobility, strength, balance and coordination.

Our staff of experienced physical therapists and physical therapy assistants will work closely with the patient, family and physician to develop a rehabilitation care plan that meets each patient's unique needs. Whether the patient requires post-operative therapy from a joint replacement or a falls assessment for a frail or elderly patient, people of all ages and diagnoses benefit from receiving rehabilitation at home.

 Our physical therapists will partner with the patient to help regain mobility. Therapy services can include modifying the home for safety and fall prevention, helping build strength and endurance with in-home exercises, and much more.
