There are many reasons why a person might benefit from Physical, Occupational Therapy and not all of them may be as obvious as they seem. In addition to focusing on improving independence in mobility and self-care, our services can focus on any of the following:
- Home Safety Assessments/ recommending needed medical equipment after a recent move or discharge from the hospital.
- Environmental modification: Adapting a person’s home environment to match their needs (independence/ safety).
- Pre-Hab- Evidence suggests rigorous Physical Therapy before a hip or knee replacement can reduce pain, strengthen muscles, improve range of motion and overall function following the surgery, leading to faster and improved quality of recovery.
- Balance training- Don’t wait for a fall before focusing on balance training. Our Physical & Occupational Therapists are specialists in training clients in preventing/ minimizing the likelihood of falls.
- Valley Rehab is the perfect compliment to home health services. Home health services are typically both short term and limited in scope. When home health services have discharged, Valley Rehab therapists can continue therapy services in the home with greater flexibility and scope than the home health benefit was designed for.
