Wheelchair training

Wheelchair training

The skilled home physical therapist will provide essential instruction and feedback for wheelchair training and proper sitting posture and positioning. A patient requiring a wheelchair must be aware of how to lock/unlock brakes for safe transfers and mobility. If able, the patient that can propel the wheelchair will be more independent and will enable the development of improved arm and leg function.

Whether you are 50 years old or 70 years old, acute, chronic or post-traumatic pain can limit your activities for daily living. Physical Therapy is the tool for making your body and whole health improve and get back on track!
