Physical Therapy focuses on restoring mobility, strength, balance, and physical function after illness, injury, or surgery. Therapy sessions are designed around each patient’s current abilities and recovery goals. In home settings, therapists often help patients safely navigate daily activities and reduce fall risks. Treatment plans may include exercises, mobility training, and functional movement practice. The goal is to help patients achieve the highest level of safe physical independence possible.
