MaxFit Physical Therapy

Physical, Occupational, & Speech therapy at home

Serving 5 Boroughs of NYC, Nassau and Westchester Counties

Your ability to move and perform your daily activities can decline for many reasons, from injuries and long hospital stays to illnesses and chronic conditions. To help you get back in motion, our skilled Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapists provide hands-on treatment when a medical condition makes it hard to leave home

Benefits of in-home skilled therapy

Our therapists treat you through exercise, stretching, and massage. In addition to increased movement, our program can benefit you in other ways, including:

Post-surgical care

Following joint surgery, in-home physical & occupational therapy acts as a steppingstone to any outpatient therapy you may need. Your therapist checks your wounds, manages your medication and evaluates your home. You’re a candidate for in-home joint therapy if one or more of these circumstances applies:

Can’t get to outpatient therapy without assistance
Have 2 or more chronic conditions
Take multiple medications
Don’t have caregivers or a support system in place
Had medical complications during surgery

Energy conservation

For chronic conditions such as COPD or heart failure, our therapists teach you how to conserve energy while still improving mobility.

Improved circulation

If you have heart failure, our therapists work to improve blood flow. After cancer treatment, they help the flow of lymph, a fluid that assists the immune system.

Lower risk of falling

Therapists evaluate your hearing, vision, balance and medications, as well as your need to hurry to the bathroom. After your assessment, the therapist may suggest small changes to your surroundings to make falls less likely.

Skilled therapy that targets your needs

Movement and muscle strength bring freedom. For some, that means returning to work or resuming an active lifestyle after surgery. For others, it means moving safely around their homes.

No matter your goal, our skilled Physical & Occupational therapists work to help you achieve it. Our therapy sessions include specialized, targeted programs and practices:

Total joint therapy

If you receive a new hip, knee or shoulder, our therapists use the newest technology and mobilization techniques. They get you strong enough to attend outpatient therapy.

Chronic disease program

Our specialty-trained skilled therapists personalize therapy and prescribe exercises specific to people living with heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Vestibular training

If you have inner ear problems or get a spinning feeling called vertigo, our specialized vestibular therapists can help. They know how to improve your balance and movement.

Lymphedema relief

Our lymphedema-certified therapists use massage, manual drainage and exercise to treat swelling and poor circulation.

Who does in-home skilled therapy help?

Skilled Physical & Occupational therapy improves movement and stability for people of all ages, from children to older adults. Getting therapy in your home allows you to safely remain where you live, rather than traveling for outpatient care. To receive in-home skilled therapy, you must meet the requirements for home health care.

Our goal is to help you improve your quality of life while you are dealing with any of the following conditions:

Joint replacement
Congestive heart failure (CHF)
CVA (stroke)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
COPD
Chronic pain
Diabetes
Cancer
Parkinson’s disease
Lymphedema
Multiple falls
Generalized weakness

Getting started with getting therapy at home

If your doctor prescribes in-home therapy, you can expect:

Initial assessment: During your initial assessment, a skilled therapist evaluates your health, reviews your medications and looks around your home for fall risks. The therapist answers any questions you have and explains the schedule for your therapy.
Expert providers: During your visits, a certified Physical/Occupational/SLP therapist (depending on your need) treats you and monitors your progress.
Patient education: Your therapist teaches you specific exercises and movements you can do between visits. You also learn how to recognize fall risks in your home.
