From Falls to Fixes: My Latest Physical Therapy Journey

I have been to the physical therapist many times in my life. I mostly have gone after having bad falls that caused injuries. This year, after my annual neurologist appointment, physical therapy was recommended again. I am a lot weaker than the last time I went, so this time home health physical therapy was my option. I have seen a few different physical therapists over the years, which is actually great. I really like it because each PT has different ideas for me since my disorder is so rare. The team with the home health gave me a couple new ideas:

• Removing my bathroom door - It’s an on suite one, so I will just close my bedroom door and it gives me more space to move around in there

• Getting custom knee braces - I hyper-extend my knees when I walk since my quads are weak. They will hopefully provide some support for me.
