💭 Key Insights
We’re here to support both you and your family helping everyone feel confident, informed, and cared for through every step of your recovery.
In-home therapy keeps you safe and independent by preventing falls and improving your strength where it matters most right at home.
As your local physical therapy team, we’re part of your community and committed to helping you stay active, healthy, and comfortable in your own home.
Why In-Home Physical Therapy Matters
Home is where most falls happen—and where most recovery should begin. In-home physical therapy allows seniors to stay active in the environment that matters most.
Our approach focuses on:
Fall prevention & balance training
Strength and mobility restoration
Post-surgery and injury rehabilitation
Pain management and safe movement strategies
Home safety evaluations and adaptive equipment recommendations
By bringing the clinic directly to your door, we design a plan that matches each person’s real-world needs—from stepping over thresholds to safely navigating stairs or showers.
Helping Parents Regain Confidence
Every senior we meet has a goal—sometimes it’s walking to the mailbox again, other times it’s playing with grandkids or dancing at a wedding. Through one-on-one sessions, we rebuild strength, balance, and confidence so those goals become reality.
Our licensed physical therapists specialize in fall-risk reduction and functional movement training, helping older adults stay strong and active without leaving the comfort of home.
Supporting the Children Who Care
When aging parents begin to struggle, their children often take on a new role—becoming caregivers, schedulers, and advocates. We understand that balancing work, family, and caregiving can be overwhelming.
That’s why My Home Physical Therapy supports you, too:
We teach safe transfer techniques to protect your parent—and your own body.
We guide you through exercise routines you can safely do together.
We keep you informed on progress, goals, and home recommendations.
We don’t just treat the patient—we care for the family system that surrounds them.
Bringing Peace of Mind Back Home
Our goal is simple: help families move with less fear and more confidence. Every improvement—every regained step—is a shared success.
With My Home Physical Therapy, you’ll have a trusted partner who blends clinical skill, compassion, and convenience to keep your loved one safe and thriving at home.
Let’s Build Strength and Safety at Home, Together
