Benefits of In-Home Physical Therapy
Physical therapists can practice their profession in many settings. These settings can include hospitals, schools, private outpatient clinics and nursing homes as well as private homes. Patients who are unable to travel to outpatient clinics or hospitals due to being homebound usually receive home care physical therapy. A new trend in physical therapy is that the clinic is delivered to the patient. There are several models currently in use. An RV is a portable clinic that some therapists use. These RV's can be equipped with all the usual modalities that you'd find in an outpatient clinic, such as exercise equipment and treatment tables. The second, less costly model would be for a therapist to come to your home with a portable table and other modality equipment. There are many benefits to treating patients at home: · Increased compliance through not missing treatment sessions · A therapist can assess a patient in their natural environment. ·
