Physical Therapy

A Physical therapist (PT) at Amber Home Health Care is an essential part of an interdisciplinary team that helps individuals resume their daily activities and improve their overall health and well-being. It’s for patients who may be unable to leave the house to receive physical therapy. Therapists and their assistants work with patients on mobility and lifestyle changes, monitor symptoms, and request interventions to help avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room.

Physical therapy often helps to decrease the duration and severity of acute or chronic disabilities and helps patients return to their desired daily activities, such as going to church or working in the garden. In addition, home physical therapy sessions help patients understand how increased physical activity and better lifestyle choices can lead to weight loss, lower blood pressure, and improved mental health. An exercise program may also decrease future cardiac events and improve mortality.  Amber home health care physical therapists are trained to assist patients with a holistic and individualized approach.
