Can Physical Therapy Be Done at Home?
Yes. Physical therapy can be done at home, and for homebound patients it is often more effective than clinic therapy because the therapist trains the patient in the exact environment where they live. Focus Family Care sends a licensed physical therapist to the home, evaluates mobility and fall risk, and builds a plan around the patient's real stairs, bathroom, and furniture.
When Medicare Covers In-Home Physical Therapy
