3 Benefits of Outpatient Therapy Programs

Whether you’re recovering from an illness or surgery, using outpatient therapy can boost your rehabilitation.

Types of Outpatient Therapy

There are a wide variety of outpatient therapy services. You may require therapy if you’re recuperating from surgery, injury or illness, or wish to improve your mobility and wellness.

Outpatient therapy includes:

• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Speech therapy
• Cardiac rehabilitation
• Pulmonary rehabilitation
• Strength and balance training
• Prosthetic and orthotic fitting and training
• Fall prevention
• Walking and coordination training

Convenient Access to Therapy

Exercise and mobility are important as you age, especially if you’re in recovery. Outpatient therapy is available at clinics, hospitals, doctor’s offices and rehabilitation facilities. That gives you a variety of locations to find comprehensive outpatient therapy in your city or neighborhood.

Some types of outpatient facilities also offer in-home services if you don’t have transportation. That allows you to get the therapy you need in the comfort of your home. Home-based service availability differs depending on your insurance coverage.

Custom Rehabilitation Plans

You can benefit from the expertise of therapists, nurses and physicians who are committed to creating a comprehensive therapy program catered to your goals. You’ll also work with the same people, allowing you to build a sense of familiarity that may help you feel more comfortable.

Therapy programs can be altered during your healing process. Your team will make necessary adjustments if you want to be challenged. If you need to take things a bit slower, they will reevaluate your program to suit your pace. Your input is essential, so it’s important to communicate with your therapist if you’re uncomfortable.

Flexible Scheduling

Attendance is based on your availability. Your therapy team will work with you to ensure you get the most out of your session if you can only make it once a week. Two to three weekly sessions are common, but you could schedule therapy five times a week if you have the availability and insurance coverage.
