When a person suffers an injury or goes through a surgical procedure, the recovery process generally includes some form of physical therapy.
Physical therapy can help those who were injured begin to reuse the injured body part and this therapy can also help people regain their strength after a surgery.
The consequences of an injury or surgery can be severe for some people. Injuries can do damage to bones and muscles and surgeries can keep people bedridden for weeks after the procedure.
The longer someone is confined to their bed, the more difficult it will be for them to get up and start moving again.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can provide physical therapy services in Fort Myers, FL right in the homes of those who need it.
We have accredited physical therapists on staff that can administer therapy and create a rehabilitation program to help you or your loved ones get moving again.
