- Arthritis
- Emergency CareAs physical therapists and occupational therapists working in the home, one of our biggest areas of treatment revolves around balance and fall prevention. Falls are the number one reason for injury and emergency room admittance amongst seniors. In fact, of all seniors over the age of 65, one in three will have a fall this year. Over the age of 80, the likelihood of a fall increases to 50%. Moreover, those who do fall once have 75% chance of falling again within six months. As you can see, balance and fall prevention is of paramount importance to us as physical therapists and occupational therapists for the geriatric population.
- Joint ReplacementA total joint replacement involves removing the arthritic parts of the bones and replacing them with artificial parts. Physical and occupational therapists help people receiving a total knee replacement regain movement and function, and return to daily activities. Your physical and occupational therapist can help you prepare for and recover from surgery, and develop an individualized treatment program to get you moving again in the safest and most effective way possible. Contact us for more information.
- Knee Replacement
- Physical TherapyWe are not a home health agency therefore patients do NOT need to be home bound. We are physical therapists and occupational therapists in private practice just like an outpatient clinic and we bill through Medicare Part B or out-of-network insurance. We are filling the gap for Medicare patients who are not homebound (Medicare Part A), but would find it more convenient and more beneficial to have their physical therapy at home.
- Occupational TherapyThe use of physical and occupational therapy and/or exercise is integral to musculoskeletal pain. Sometimes physical and occupational therapy and exercise are the first lines of treatment, other times they may help manage chronic pain, or provide pain relief after surgery. Unlike other conservative treatments (medication, injections, etc.), physical and occupational therapy can also help prevent and/or lessen future recurrences of pain in the body. Contact us for more information.
- Back Pain
- Manual TherapyA physical and occupational therapist can help you improve or restore mobility and reduce low back pain—in many cases, without expensive surgery or the side effects of medications. Not all low back pain is the same, so your treatment should be tailored to your specific symptoms and condition. A physical and occupational therapist will design an individualized treatment plan for your specific back problem. Treatments may include: Manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, to improve the mobility of joints and soft tissues, strengthening and flexibility exercises, training for proper lifting, bending, and sitting, education about how you can take better care of your back, ice or heat.
