Abstract Physiotherapy has evolved as an essential part of recuperation from injuries and impairments but having physiotherapy sessions in the confines of one’s home is leading to a faster and effective recovery.
Overview Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation technique that reduces impairments and promotes physical mobility, body organ functions and quality of life through extensive examination, effective diagnosis and physical intervention. It is carried out in conjunction with other medical treatments for injuries and impairments.
Home based physiotherapy Earlier, physical therapy or physiotherapy was usually carried out in special treatment centres with bulky devices and apparatus. With the current technological advancement the devices and apparatus have shrunk in size and are capable of being moved from place to place easily. This mobility has allowed the physiotherapists to conduct sessions for the affected at the vicinity of their home. Let us consider a patient's story to understand home based physiotherapy. Mrs.Deepa and her husband Mr. Rajesh had encountered with accident and were almost reduced to immobile state for a long duration. They were prescribed physiotherapy for duration of 6 weeks by their Orthopedic and physician. This raised a series of problem for them by travelling to the physiotherapy center and then waiting for time and then travel back to their home.
One of their friends suggested home-based physiotherapy. Initially they were hesitant to undergo such sessions assuming the cost to be high. When they approached HealthCare at Home for their services and checked the process and associated cost they readily accepted the physiotherapy package at home.
Mr. Rajesh was treated for neck sprain and shoulder fracture whereas Mrs.Deepa was treated for whiplash and side strain. The treatment involved heat/ice technique, a postural-alignment training, physical exercise including stretching, lumbar support and joint mobilization. The physiotherapy was provided for a span of 4 weeks. The outcome of therapy at home resulted in a faster recovery and both were able to get back to their normal lifestyle.
The advantages associated with physiotherapy are many. To name a few- • There is no need for the patient to travel. This makes treatment more time efficient for the patient. • Treatment is provided in privacy of one’s own home. • Home physiotherapy sessions are in close loop with the physiotherapist. This allows for an effective treatment sessions with the physiotherapist as the entire duration is dedicated to the affected person. • Therapy sessions can be undertaken at the patients’ convenience this doesn’t affect other commitments like work or office. • As treatment is performed at home a physiotherapist can assess and suggest modifications or equipment that may assist the severely impaired person like ramp for wheelchair mobility, foam flooring for medicine ball training etc.
Conclusion • Proven studies have shown that home physiotherapy services need is increasing rapidly. Physiotherapy at home has been shown to assist patients to gain or re-gain improved strength and mobility. This in-turn results in improved bodily function and a better quality of life. • With the increase in awareness and usage of home based services along with the many benefits physiotherapy treatment at home has set up higher benchmark in the medical field, it imparts treatment to all age groups from infants, children, adults to elderly.
