Okotoks Physical Therapy offers in-home appointments<\/h2><\/div>

We understand that with injury or illness it can be challenging for clients to safely access the clinic location, <\/span>therefore we provide the option for in-home treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

The therapist will travel to the client\u2019s home to perform the initial assessment. The initial assessment is very similar to in-clinic visits. At the start of the appointment, <\/span>the physiotherapist will ask a variety of questions. These questions allow the therapist <\/span>to understand the reason for the visit, type of injury, symptoms, current activity levels, <\/span>and past injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The therapist will also inquire about activities the client is aiming to <\/span>resume. A physical assessment will then be completed. This includes observations of <\/span>movement such as walking, balance, specific joint movements, strength, and mobility <\/span>around the home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The therapist will provide information to the client regarding their injury or illness and available treatment options to assist with recovery. Treatment options include many <\/span>of the same services offered within the clinic, such as manual therapy, acupuncture, <\/span>massage, taping, and exercise prescription. A strong emphasis is placed on client <\/span>education and self management. The therapist will provide advice on activity <\/span>modifications, reduction of fall risk, and pain management strategies. Based on the <\/span>client\u2019s goals and current level of mobility, an exercise program that can be safely <\/span>completed at home will be developed. The schedule for further physiotherapy sessions <\/span>is dependent on symptoms and client goals. Clients may choose to access the clinic <\/span>location once they feel confident with mobility within the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
