Q: Why see patients at home instead of a physical therapy clinic?

A: For many seniors, they spend most of their time at home.  We want these seniors safe in their own environment.  Seniors do not need heavy weight lifting machines.  They need to know how to live healthy in and around their own homes.  Also, many patients do not drive or find it difficult to go to a clinic.  Treatment in their own home is ideal for a variety of patients.
