After an injury or illness, some patients require assistance in relearning certain motor skills. Different types of specialized therapies can help them in regaining all their strengths.

In this article, we’ll talk about physical therapy and occupational therapy in detail.

Physical therapy

If any of your loved one has been experiencing some decline in the mobility, physical therapy is the best way to help them. Physical therapy is the most beneficial form of treatment when it comes to recovering from a chronic pain or restricted mobility. People at any stage of their life can get benefits of physical therapy when their body movement and function is threatened by any of the factors such as injury, diseases, or disorders. Physical therapy helps in addressing pain, weakness, balance, range of motion and impaired mobility. It helps in restoring the functional ability and quality of life. In-home physical therapy provides a lot of convenience especially for those who have limited mobility. In-home physical therapy helps individuals who experience:

·         Walking difficulties

·         Balancing problems

·         Stroke

·         Falls

·         Joint and back pain

·         Replacement surgery

·         Heart functional decline

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy helps in regaining health as well as performance skills lost through any injury or illness. It involves the application of various purposeful exercises or activities that help regain the function of the body parts. Active engagement in occupational therapy promotes and maintains physical, cognitive and emotional health of a person. Occupational therapists also play a preventive role by guiding normal individuals to work with their bodies and not against their bodies that is a leading cause of aggravated wear and tear tissue damage and injuries. By regaining the function of the body parts, active and regular involvement in occupational therapy promotes and maintains physical, cognitive and emotional health of a person. In this therapy, various adaptations are applied helping patients to be more independent and adept in carrying out their everyday tasks. Occupational therapy also deals with a series of massages that can help relive the tense muscles and helps in better blood circulation throughout the body which proves very beneficial for pain and stress management.

Some of the major benefits of in-home physical and occupational therapy are listed below:

Convenience

One of the greatest advantages of in-home physical and occupational therapy is ease and accessibility. The patient doesn’t have to wait in the queue for appointment and also doesn’t have to manage the travel time. Your loved ones don’t have to worry about various factors such as travel challenges, weather and others that impact when they have to travel to receive outpatient therapy services. With in-home therapy, they can just primarily focus more on the healing process.

Undivided attention

A patient receives an undivided attention of the caregiver in the in-home physical therapy whereas in a hospital setting, a caretaker might be overseeing other patients as well. With in-home physical therapy, your loved ones receive higher quality of care.

Outpatient service can be stressful

Many patients tend to feel anxiety and get affected when they are recovering from an injury or illness, in outpatient therapy rooms as they are large, crowded, and noisy. They can feel stressed in outpatient therapy but feel the most comfortable while receiving therapy in their own home. Also, when a person is recovering from surgery or illness, visiting a therapy facility can be very difficult. It consumes a lot of their energy in things like getting in and out of car or moving up and down the stairs. In home therapy enables the person to save their energy levels for other aspects.
