Physical Therapy at Home: The Benefits of Receiving Treatment at Home


The demand for personalized and convenient treatments has become an increasingly common trend. Physical therapy is a specialty whose goal is to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate various health conditions (such as muscle injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, respiratory dysfunctions), improve mobility and physical function, among others. The treatment is performed through manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, electrotherapy, posture and healthy habits guidance, etc.

With home-based physical therapy, it is possible to perform treatments without leaving home, with comfort, convenience, and privacy. This modality brings numerous benefits to patients in recovery or who have some physical limitation. In this article, I will discuss the main benefits of home-based physical therapy and how it works. Keep reading to learn more!


Benefits of Home-Based Physical Therapy:
