Recovering from an injury, surgery or managing a chronic condition often involves physical therapy. While your doctor or physical therapist creates a customized treatment plan, the work happens at home. That’s where Home Instead comes in.
We don’t assign physical therapy, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. From helping you perform doctor-prescribed exercises to offering encouragement like a gym buddy, our caregivers ensure you stay on track in the comfort of your home.
The Importance of At-Home Physical Therapy
Many people find maintaining their physical therapy routine challenging once they leave the clinic. However, consistency is key to improving mobility, reducing pain, and regaining independence. At-home physical therapy support offers:
- Convenience: No need to travel to a facility—your exercises happen in your own space.
- Better Recovery: Regular practice leads to better results, reducing the risk of re-injury.
- Personalized Assistance: A familiar face provides encouragement and motivation.
- Comfort and Confidence: Exercising at home can feel safer and less intimidating.
How Home Instead Can Help with Physical Therapy
Home Instead provides non-medical home care, meaning we don’t diagnose or prescribe treatments. However, we work closely with your care plan to ensure you receive the support needed to complete your therapy exercises safely and effectively.
1. Assisting with Doctor-Prescribed Exercises
Our caregivers help you complete the stretches, strength exercises, and movements your physical therapist outlines. We provide guidance to help you maintain proper form and prevent strain or injury.
2. Encouraging Consistency
One of the biggest challenges in physical therapy is sticking with it. We keep you accountable, encouraging you to stay committed to your exercise schedule.
3. Offering a Helping Hand and Moral Support
Whether holding onto a sturdy chair for balance exercises or simply providing a supportive presence, our caregivers make therapy feel less daunting. Think of us as your gym buddy—cheering you on as you progress.

Slips and falls can be a concern when exercising at home. Our caregivers help ensure your space is free of obstacles and hazards, making it safer to perform therapy exercises.
