Speech Therapy
Regain Your Voice, Regain Your Confidence: Speech Therapy in the Comfort of Home
What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy, also known as speech-language therapy, is a specialized field of healthcare that focuses on assessing, diagnosing, and treating communication and swallowing disorders. Speech therapists, also called speech-language pathologists, work with individuals of all ages, from infants to older adults, who may have difficulty with speech, language, voice, fluency, cognition, or swallowing.
Speech therapy involves various techniques and approaches tailored to each individual's specific needs. Treatment may include exercises, activities, games, and strategies designed to improve communication and swallowing function. Speech therapists also work closely with families, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and support.
Why Choose Home-Based Speech Therapy?
Many seniors may find attending clinic appointments challenging. Factors such as mobility limitations, transportation issues, or busy schedules can make it difficult to access the care you need. Our home-based speech therapy program brings expert care directly to you, eliminating travel hassles and maximizing comfort.
Personalized Care and Attention:
Therapists can tailor sessions to address your specific communication needs within your home environment, making therapy more relevant and effective.
Enhanced Family Support:
Family members can easily participate in sessions, learn strategies, and integrate therapy techniques into daily routines, fostering a stronger support system.

Imbalance
Rocking sensation
The list of symptoms associated with vestibular disorders is extensive. Whether you experience one of these symptoms every now and then or many of these symptoms all the time, INSPIRE will develop a program individualized to your needs.

Why Vestibular Rehab?
Most people will experience some form of dizziness at some point in life. While there are many causes of dizziness, the inner ear (vestibular system) is often the issue. The good news? Symptoms caused by issues with the vestibular system very often can be successfully treated with vestibular physical therapy. To state it simply: through therapy, your brain readjusts. With readjustment comes better-managed symptoms.
-
What happens during therapy?
Balance issues and dizziness may affect you in different ways. Your therapist will tailor vestibular rehabilitation therapy to your specific need. They’ll show you how to do specific exercises so you can exercise at home, at your convenience. Therapy may include these exercises:
Eye movement control
Balance retraining
Stretching and strengthening
-
What are the advantages?
Studies show vestibular rehabilitation therapy helps:
Reduce your risk of falling
Improve your balance
Reduce your dizziness symptoms
Improve your ability to stabilize yourself
Increase your body strength
Joint Works
It’s time,
manage your pain.
Welcome to JOINT WORKS, where we're all about your joint health and vibrant living!
So say goodbye to limitations and hello to a better quality of life – let JOINT WORKS be your partner on this journey to renewal!
Our friendly and dedicated team of physical therapists is here to provide you with top-notch care tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you're preparing for joint replacement surgery or recovering from an orthopedic procedure, our comprehensive program is designed to support you every step of the way. With a focus on both pre-operative and post-operative care, we're committed to helping you achieve optimal outcomes and a speedy recovery.
PRE-OPERATIVE
We help you prepare for surgery, improving recovery outcomes. For example, pre-operative PT can improve circulation, help reduce the risk of developing blood clots, reduce muscle fatigue and soreness, and strengthen the muscles around the joint, improving overall joint function and mobility. In addition, PT can help you build your core strength, which enables you to move in and out of bed without injury, and teach you how to use a walker or cane like a pro! Finally, a pre-surgery home assessment can ensure you have the proper equipment before being discharged from the hospital. This helps facilitate a smoother transition home and prevent any potential falls or accidents.
POST-OPERATIVE
Post-operative PT will help to facilitate a faster and smoother recovery. PT can help ease pain and reduce inflammation while also maintaining healthy circulation and reducing the risk of blood clots. Additionally, we can provide education and care for the incision to prevent infection and promote proper healing. PT will restore strength and mobility to the joint by strengthening the supporting muscles, eliminating muscle and joint stiffness, and improving balance. You can regain your ability to walk normally and with an improved range of motion, which can help you return to regular activities and daily life.
We help you get your life back as quickly and safely as possible.
But my doctor didn’t mention pre-operative care.
Why should I consider it?
Strengthening the muscles around the joint being replaced means:
Faster recovery time because you’re starting with more muscle
Less pain because the road to recovering strength is less steep
Improved range of motion & flexibility
Receive treatment to reduce pain & inflammation
There is no question about it; you will get better results by heading into surgery as strong as possible.
Being prepared for the physical demands of surgery and recovery:
Strengthening your upper body to help you get out of bed or in and out of a wheelchair during recovery is important.
Avoid injuring a different part of your body by working on balance and strengthening exercises.
Proactively correcting imbalances that have developed in your body from compensating for your painful joint:
Back pain from hip, knee, and ankle issues
Knee pain from ankle issues
Hip and back pain from knee and ankle issues
Neck pain from shoulder issues
Get back on track
with a faster and safer recovery.
Parkinson’s Programs
If Parkinson’s is part of your journey, you’re in the right place!
There are options beyond simply taking medications and waiting for a cure. Our programs help to address the multidimensional physical effects of a Parkinson’s diagnosis, but also by helping to build community and support that are vital for those with Parkinson’s, their families, and caregivers. It improves self-efficacy, fosters positive energy, brightens moods, brings smiles to faces, and provides motivation to take control of one’s future.
PowerUp to Parkison’s is unique because it is the first of its kind to address both movement and non-movement symptoms of Parkinson’s. We are certified in several nationally recognized programs that we have incorporated into our PowerUp to Parkinson’s program. You can read more about them below.
Certifications we have and use in our
PowerUp to Parkinson’s Program
We walk alongside you on your Parkinson’s journey, help you PowerUP to Parkinson’s and improve your symptoms, restore balance and movement, boost your confidence, and help slow the progression and impact of the disease.
Every journey starts with one step. Take yours!
