In Home Physical Therapy for Manual Therapy
At My Home Physical Therapy, we specialize in in-home care for seniors across Erie, Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Fort Lupton, and nearby communities. Our Manual therapy services focus on these key areas:
Joint Mobility and Flexibility
After injury, surgery, or periods of immobility, joints often become stiff. Hands-on mobilization helps restore normal joint motion and improve flexibility, allowing for smoother, pain-free movement.
Posture and Alignment Correction
Poor posture or misalignment can place extra stress on the body. Manual therapy improves alignment by addressing tight or restricted areas, which supports better posture and reduces the risk of re-injury.
Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation
Manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and gentle massage reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve pain. This helps patients move more comfortably during recovery.
Improved Function and Movement Quality
By reducing restrictions and restoring natural movement, manual therapy enhances overall function. Patients often notice improvements in walking, daily activities, and exercise performance.
Who Can Benefit from Manual Therapy?
Individuals with chronic pain such as back, neck, or shoulder discomfort
Patients recovering from injury or surgery who have stiffness or limited mobility
People with joint restrictions that limit range of motion
Those experiencing muscle tightness, spasms, or tension
Patients with postural problems causing pain or imbalance
Older adults dealing with age-related stiffness and mobility issues
Athletes or active individuals looking to improve movement and prevent injury
Medicare and Insurance Coverage
Under Medicare Part B, patients do not need to be homebound.
After the deductible, Medicare typically covers 80% of approved therapy services, with patients responsible for the remaining 20% coinsurance.
We also work with several commercial insurance providers.
What to Expect During In-Home PT Sessions
Personalized Evaluation – Your therapist begins by assessing your pain, mobility, and daily challenges to create a care plan specific to you.
Hands-On Treatment & Guided Exercises – Sessions may include gentle manual therapy, stretching, strengthening, and mobility training to help reduce discomfort and improve movement.
Education & Self-Management Strategies – You’ll learn safe techniques and exercises you can continue on your own to maintain progress between visits.
Support in a Familiar Environment – By working directly in your home, therapy is integrated into your daily routine, making it easier to stay consistent and focused on recovery.
Does Medicare cover in-home physical therapy?
Yes. With Medicare Part B, you don’t need to be homebound. Medicare typically covers 80% of approved therapy services.
How is this different from home health PT?
Home health is for patients who are homebound and requires nursing oversight. Our care is billed under outpatient Medicare Part B — designed for seniors who want outpatient-level therapy in their own home.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
In Colorado, physical therapists have direct access, meaning you can start therapy without a physician referral. However, Medicare often requires an order from your physician for billing.
