🦵 Why Are My Legs Swelling?
Lower leg swelling—also called edema—can have many causes. At Achieve At Home PT/OT, we help patients manage swelling safely and effectively in the comfort of home.

🔍 Common Types of Swelling:

1️⃣ Dependent Edema
From sitting/standing too long or poor circulation. Often affects both legs and improves with movement and elevation.

2️⃣ Lymphedema
Caused by blocked or damaged lymph nodes (often after surgery or cancer). Usually one-sided and can feel firm or heavy.

3️⃣ Venous Insufficiency
When leg veins can’t send blood back to the heart properly. Leads to swelling, achiness, skin changes, or varicose veins.

4️⃣ Post-Injury or Surgery
Localized swelling that comes with pain or stiffness. Controlled movement helps reduce it.

5️⃣ Systemic Causes
Conditions like heart, kidney, or liver disease can cause swelling and should be co-managed with a medical team.

✅ How We Help:
• Gentle movement & circulation exercises
• Positioning & elevation strategies
• Lymphedema techniques
• Strengthening for better blood & lymph flow
• Education on skin care, compression & fall prevention

🏡 Swelling can limit your function—but we bring therapy directly to you to help restore comfort, mobility & safety.

Why Balance Training Matters — Especially at Home! ⚖️
At Achieve At Home Physical & Occupational Therapy, we know that strong balance is key to staying safe, independent, and mobile—especially as we age or recover from injury.

Here’s why balance training is an essential part of therapy:

✅ Reduces Fall Risk
1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year—and falls are the #1 cause of injury-related hospital visits in older adults (CDC). Balance training can reduce fall risk by up to 40% according to research from the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy.

✅ Improves Core Strength & Stability
Balance exercises strengthen the core, hips, and lower body, which improves posture, walking, and overall mobility. This helps prevent future injuries and builds confidence with everyday tasks.

✅ Boosts Brain-Body Connection
Balance activities improve coordination and proprioception (your body’s sense of position), which declines with age, neurological conditions, or after injury. This helps you move more smoothly and react faster to prevent falls.

✅ Improves Recovery After Stroke, Surgery or Illness
For those recovering from surgery, stroke, or medical conditions like Parkinson’s or MS, balance work helps restore independence and safety in your home environment.

👣 Balance training doesn’t require a gym.
At home, our therapists use safe, personalized techniques like:
• Standing weight shifts
• Single-leg stance (with support)
• Heel-to-toe walking
• Functional reaching & sit-to-stand drills
• Dual-task balance (adding cognitive tasks for brain training too)

🏡 We bring the care to YOU.
Whether you’re recovering, aging in place, or just trying to move more confidently—we’re here to help you stay strong, safe, and steady.

🌞 Hydration = Progress! 💧
Staying hydrated is key to staying healthy—especially during the summer heat!

Here’s why hydration matters for our patients (and everyone!):

💪 Boosts strength, endurance & recovery
🧠 Improves focus, memory & mood
🦴 Lubricates joints & protects muscles
🔥 Prevents heat exhaustion & dizziness
👵 Especially important for older adults!

👉 Dehydration can lead to fatigue, cramps, slower healing & even hospitalizations.
Even 1–2% fluid loss affects your physical and mental performance.

✅ Hydration tips:
• Sip water throughout the day, not just when thirsty
• Add hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, peaches
• Use electrolyte drinks if sweating a lot
• Avoid too much caffeine or alcohol
• Check your urine: pale yellow = hydrated!

🫶 Let’s beat the heat and help your body heal safely this summer.
Your health is our priority—at home, all year long.

🚫🏠 Preventing Falls Starts at Home
Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults — but many of them are preventable with the right support and environment.

In fact, over 60% of falls happen at home, often due to hazards like poor lighting, loose rugs, or unsafe bathroom setups.

🔬 Evidence-Based Research:
📚 The CDC and research in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society recommend home safety evaluations and environmental modifications as proven strategies to reduce fall risk.
📚 Occupational therapy-led interventions have been shown to significantly reduce fall rates, especially when combined with mobility and balance training (Gillespie et al., Cochrane Review, 2012).

At Achieve at Home Physical and Occupational Therapy, we specialize in identifying and addressing fall risks directly in your home.

Our therapists provide:
• Comprehensive home safety assessments
• Recommendations for grab bars, ramps, lighting, and furniture layout
• Fall prevention education for patients and caregivers
• Gait and balance training
• Strengthening and mobility exercises
• ADL training to ensure confidence with daily routines

🧠 What Is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system (CNS) — specifically the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers. This disruption leads to impaired communication between the brain and body, affecting movement, balance, coordination, vision, and cognitive function.

Symptoms can vary widely and may include:
• Muscle weakness or spasticity
• Fatigue
• Balance and gait impairments
• Numbness or tingling
• Bladder and bowel dysfunction
• Difficulty with coordination or speech

🔬 Evidence-Based Practice:
📚 Research supports early and consistent rehabilitation to manage MS symptoms, promote independence, and delay physical decline.
📚 A Cochrane Review (2013) and studies published in Multiple Sclerosis Journal support the effectiveness of physical and occupational therapy in improving strength, mobility, balance, and overall function in individuals with MS.

At Achieve at Home Physical and Occupational Therapy, we provide individualized, in-home care plans tailored to each patient’s current function and future goals.

Our skilled therapists assist with:
• Gait training and balance re-education
• Spasticity management and stretching
• Energy conservation strategies
• Strengthening and coordination exercises
• Adaptive training for daily activities
• Fall prevention and home safety guidance

🦵 Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Knee arthritis—most commonly osteoarthritis (OA)—is a degenerative joint condition characterized by the progressive breakdown of articular cartilage, resulting in pain, inflammation, limited range of motion, and decreased function. It is one of the leading causes of disability in older adults and significantly affects gait, balance, and quality of life.
🔬 Evidence-based research supports physical therapy as a primary conservative intervention:
📚 Fransen et al., Annals of Internal Medicine (2015) found that structured exercise significantly improves pain and mobility in individuals with knee OA.
📚 Guidelines from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recommend non-pharmacological interventions, including therapeutic exercise and activity modification.

At Achieve at Home Physical and Occupational Therapy, we deliver individualized, in-home treatment plans for patients with knee OA. Our approach includes:
• Therapeutic exercise to strengthen muscles and stabilize the joint
• Manual therapy to address soft tissue restrictions
• Gait and balance training to reduce fall risk
• Joint protection education for long-term management
• Functional training to restore independence in ADLs

We are Medicare credentialed and accept Traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans, ensuring that care is both accessible and covered.

💪 What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear?

Pain when lifting your arm? Weakness reaching overhead? It could be a rotator cuff tear — a common shoulder injury, especially among older adults and those with repetitive shoulder use.

🧠 The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and help lift and rotate the arm.
When torn — either from injury or degeneration over time — it can severely limit function and quality of life.

🔬 Evidence-based research shows:
📚 Physical therapy is often equally effective as surgery for many partial tears (Kuhn, 2013 – J Shoulder Elbow Surg)
📚 Early rehab can reduce pain, restore range of motion, and prevent further damage
📚 Strengthening surrounding muscles improves function and reduces strain

At Achieve at Home PT & OT, we provide personalized, in-home therapy to help patients recover from rotator cuff injuries safely and effectively.

✅ Pain management & manual therapy
✅ Post-surgical rehab
✅ Range of motion and strengthening exercises
✅ Functional mobility training for ADLs
✅ Education to prevent reinjury

We are Medicare credentialed and accept Traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans — so care is always close and covered.

🦵 What Is a “Charlie Horse”?

Ever woken up with a sudden, painful cramp in your calf or thigh? That’s what many call a “Charlie horse” — but medically, it’s known as a muscle spasm or involuntary muscle cramp, most commonly in the gastrocnemius (calf muscle) or quadriceps.

🔬 Evidence shows that muscle cramps can be caused by:
📚 Dehydration or electrolyte imbalance (Schwellnus et al., 2008)
📚 Prolonged inactivity or sudden movements
📚 Circulatory issues or nerve compression
📚 Medication side effects or underlying medical conditions

At Achieve at Home Physical and Occupational Therapy, we work with patients who experience frequent or painful muscle cramps due to aging, inactivity, or chronic conditions.

Here’s how we can help — right in your home:
✅ Stretching and flexibility programs
✅ Strength and circulation-focused exercises
✅ Muscle re-education and relaxation techniques
✅ Hydration and activity education
✅ Personalized plans based on your body and goals

We are Medicare credentialed and accept Traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans, so high-quality care is always within reach.
