How CenterWell physical therapists can help you at home

So, what exactly is physical therapy? It's a special exercise program designed just for you by a trained health professional called a physical therapist. The therapists at CenterWell® are experts at making sure your exercises are safe, fun and really beneficial. They focus on making your muscles stronger, which can help you with daily tasks like carrying groceries or playing with your grandkids. They also teach you how to stretch properly to keep your muscles and joints loose, which makes bending and reaching a lot easier.

But that's not all—balance is a big part of what they do, too. They introduce simple activities that improve your balance, which is super important to help prevent falls and keep you safe. And the best part? All these exercises help boost your ability to do more things by yourself, which means you can keep living in your own home and manage your daily life without needing too much help.

The therapists from CenterWell come right to your home, so you don't have to worry about traveling. They're always ready to help you move better and feel empowered. Talking with a CenterWell Home Health provider is a great step to finding out if home healthcare would be good for you.
