Muscle Re-education

Muscle Re-education is essential for persons recovering from stroke, surgeries such as hip and knee replacement, and those suffering from weakness due to chronic illness such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and other age-related impairments. In fact, musculoskeletal conditions cause more functional limitations than any other group of disorders. They frequently have an adverse influence on one’s health and diminish quality of life. Specific home-based neuro-musculoskeletal interventions focus on: joint mobility/stability, motor function, and muscle re-education to optimize your daily activities with exercises that are tailored to your living circumstances and goals. Muslce Re-education can:

reduce pain and enhance joint stability/functional ability
improve quality of life and aerobic capacity
prevent bone loss and fracture

Client Feedback

Stephen F. has been my physical therapist for approximately five years. He is a very caring and professional therapist. He has always been well read in the latest and newest techniques in therapy and massage necessary to alleviate pain and also to return full motion to any part of my body that is not functioning to its full capacity. I would highly recommend Stephen. You could not be in better hands.

Following his stroke, in-home physical therapy has allowed my husband and I to enjoy our ‘together time’ more, because of the progress he has made in both strength and stamina. Continued in-home sessions have enabled him to increase his activities, outings and general confidence.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lucy K. in my home for six months now. She is always on-time, courteous, encouraging and creative. She knows when to push me, and when to ease off a little bit. My movement and energy have improved tremendously since we started working together. I always look forward to her twice-weekly visits.

My father has worked with two different therapists at Active In-Home Therapy. He has multiple medical issues since he had a stroke three years ago. The therapists’ knowledge and compassion never cease to amaze me. Even on his bad days, my father seems ready to get to work when his therapist arrives. Both therapists have been helpful educating both my Father’s caregiver and other family members.

In the comfortable surroundings of his own home, my aphasic husband has emerged from silence and is flourishing under the guidance of his able speech therapist.
