Physical Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists speak multiple languages and have been recognized by several federal and state audits for improving a patient’s ability to move and their range of motion following severe strokes, injuries, and surgeries. They work to help patients regain physical functions like walking. With their help, patients regain strength and independence.
Physical therapy often helps to decrease the duration and severity of disabilities that arise from chronic diseases such as heart failure and COPD and helps patients return to their desired daily activities; in-home physical therapy sessions help patients understand how increased physical activity and better lifestyle choices can lead to weight loss, lower blood pressure, and improved mental health. An exercise program may also decrease future cardiac events and improve mortality.
