Physical Therapy Has Reversed my Mom's Weakened Condition




During the time my Mom was in hospice care, her mobility began to deteriorate to the point where she required a wheelchair for movement. Since she was released from hospice last month, her new home health care agency assigned a physical therapist to help her.

The results of the first 6 sessions have been nothing less than miraculous. She has resumed walking comfortably with her walker, she is more alert than ever, and her emotional well-being reflects these improvements. She even smiles more often and her voice is stronger.

My Mom’s recovery demonstrates the power of physical therapy and of all the related exercises that strengthen the muscles. We can all learn from this experience!
