You might have a condition that's so serious that leaving your home could be a health risk, or your functional mobility is so limited that you can't travel or would find it a significant challenge. Or you might not have access to suitable transportation.
You can also choose to have physical therapy at home for other reasons, but it's important to check whether your insurance covers these.
Home care offers significant benefits, such as promoting tissue healing and helping you stay flexible and retain muscle strength. Without physical therapy, people with limited mobility tend to deteriorate because their muscles waste away, joints stiffen, and connective tissues shorten.
