HOME IMPROVEMENT

Physical Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

The summer heat doesn’t come without risk. As we age, it’s important to take precautions to stay cool and avoid heat stroke this time of year. But staying cooped up in your air conditioned home may not be a perfect solution either — if you aren’t getting your exercise, aches and pains will set in fast. If you’re in pain but don’t want to brave the high temperatures, consider scheduling a home health therapy visit. WE COME TO YOU We know that many difficulties can keep you from seeking physical therapy treatment, which is why our experienced clinicians are committed to meeting you where you are. After scheduling an appointment, they’ll meet you at your home and begin designing a home-care regime that fits your needs. Your physical therapist will then guide you through safe, effective exercises to improve your strength and mobility. NO GYM REQUIRED Some may worry they don’t have the equipment available to strengthen themselves, even with the

guidance of a therapist. Thankfully, the stretches and exercises our home-care experts focus on are designed to be done from just about anywhere without gym equipment. In fact, your therapist will help you identify the safest places in your home to do these workouts — which can be particularly important if you have balance issues. RETURN TO INDEPENDENCE The goal of home therapy isn’t to keep you cooped up forever. On the contrary, we measure our success by how well you get out and about again. Whether you are recovering from a surgery, staying indoors because of balance issues, or simply avoiding the summer heat, we’re dedicated to improving the strength and confidence in the way you move. If you or someone you love has been struggling to get out of the house, we are here for you. If you have questions or would like to book an appointment, we’re just a phone call away. Take the first step toward independence by giving us a call at 732-499-4540!
