I have over five years of experience providing physical therapy to elderly and homebound patients. My work includes designing personalized treatment plans to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. I am skilled in adapting exercises to suit individual limitations and ensuring safety in home environments. My approach emphasizes patient education and family involvement to promote long-term success.

I address resistance by building trust and understanding the patient's concerns. I use motivational interviewing techniques to identify their goals and tailor therapy to align with their interests. By celebrating small victories and providing consistent encouragement, I help patients see progress, which boosts their confidence and motivation to continue therapy.

Patient safety is my top priority. I conduct thorough assessments of the home environment to identify potential hazards, such as loose rugs or poor lighting. I educate patients and caregivers on fall prevention and safe movement techniques. Additionally, I ensure all exercises are performed within the patient's physical limits and provide clear instructions to minimize risks.

I maintain detailed documentation of each session, including progress notes, treatment plans, and any changes in the patient's condition. I use electronic health records (EHR) to ensure accuracy and accessibility. I also communicate regularly with physicians, nurses, and caregivers through written reports or phone calls to ensure coordinated care and alignment on treatment goals.

I stay current by attending continuing education courses, reading peer-reviewed journals, and participating in professional organizations like the APTA. I also network with colleagues to exchange knowledge and best practices. This commitment to learning allows me to incorporate evidence-based techniques into my practice, ensuring the highest standard of care for my patients.
