Whether you’re focusing on rehabilitation after surgery or recovery from stroke, personalized physical and senior occupational therapy services can help you get back on your feet. Nurse Next Door’s in-home physical therapy services are designed to empower seniors to regain mobility and independence. We’ll match you with a trained and experienced therapist with the expertise to help you recover from your specific condition. Take a step towards a better quality of life now.
Do you know the difference between physical and occupational therapy? While physical therapy (PT) restores your mobility, occupational therapy (OT) is necessary for regaining the ability to perform various tasks at home and work.
There are multiple types of in-home physical and occupational therapies, and the service provided to you would be based on your health condition and need. Each type of therapy involves techniques and exercises that are specific to it. For example, if your loved one has recently undergone surgery and is experiencing pain, swelling, and stiffness, the therapist may use cold therapy and range-of-motion exercises.
A senior who is unable to carry out daily activities, like bathing and dressing, due to an injured arm can regain the ability to perform such tasks with the support of a skilled occupational therapist. Depending on the level of recovery, an occupational therapist could use positioning, splinting, or coordination exercises.
To help you recover with ease, we provide physical therapy at home across Northern Virginia. Our qualified senior physical and occupational therapists personalize the therapy services based on your exact requirements and stay by your side as long as you need them.
Physical and occupational therapy for seniors is most effective when it is managed by a qualified therapist who is well-versed in all the right exercises and techniques. Nurse Next Door connects you with trained, certified, and compassionate therapists who understand your needs and can create a senior home care plan that’s perfect for you.
Here are some of the senior physical therapy and occupational therapy services you can receive:
Nurse Next Door provides multiple types of Northern Virginia physical therapy and home health occupational therapy services, including:
If you or a loved one is recovering from a stroke, physical therapy can play a significant role in improving your balance, mobility, strength, and ability to move safely. Our trained therapists use various strength and balance exercises, assist with gait, and help you practice repetitive movements.
This specialized physical therapy is ideal for seniors with pain or weakness in the pelvic region and those facing bowel or urinary issues. With pelvic floor exercises, muscle coordination training, as well as stretching and strengthening techniques, Nurse Next Door’s therapists can help you stay comfortable at home and improve your bowel and bladder control.
Only those who’ve experienced sciatica know how much pain this condition can bring. However, with physical therapy techniques like posture training, targeted stretching, and movement training, you can overcome pain and other symptoms of sciatica. Our physical therapists can help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.
Those living with ataxia, a neurological condition that involves a lack of coordination and muscle control, need support for balance, walking, and proper movements. Some of the key PT techniques used by our expert therapists include exercises to improve balance, coordination training, practice for proper gait, and strengthening the muscles. This approach also minimizes the risk of falls.
There are many conditions, such as neurological disorders and delayed development milestones, due to which children may face limited mobility or compromised physical abilities. Nurse Next Door’s therapists use pediatric physical therapy techniques, like coordination activities, strength training, and movement-based play.
Patients recovering from fractures, surgeries, or orthopedic conditions should consider this type of physical therapy. Some of the common techniques include stretching, strength training, range-of-motion exercises, functional training, and manual therapy. Nurse Next Door’s skilled therapists can restore your mobility at home.
Seniors experience many challenges as the years advance. Restricted mobility may result from age-related factors, illness, or injury, and in such cases, geriatric occupational therapy can be a life-changing option. Using functional exercises, activity-based training, and adaptive techniques, our therapists can help seniors manage tasks like bathing and eating.
Those facing neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, brain injuries, and multiple sclerosis, are often unable to perform daily tasks. If your loved one’s independence and quality of life are affected by such a condition, our therapists can make a difference with coordination exercises as well as cognitive, adaptive, and other techniques.
