All About Home Health

All About Home Health

Through physical therapy, patients  improve their  muscle strength and coordination following injury or illness. The focus is on mobility - moving safely in bed,  getting up and down from a chair, walking or negotiating stairs, ramps and curves. Physical therapy can also help control or alleviate acute and chronic pain. Our therapists work closely with physicians and the nursing staff to develop an appropriate treatment  program and as the patient progresses through the therapy, it is readjusted to help meet maximum outcomes. Our physical therapists work to improve and restore thephysical function and mobility  level of our patients.
