[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 710506, member: 18958"] Susie. I did physical therapy for a while. I have cervical spine issues. The gist of each session was heat: (I bought the apparatus myself), simple exercise first, without equipment and then when I built up capacity, simple gym exercise (on stationary bike, with rubber ball, and the lat pull down, I think. Then the PT gave me a 5 minute massage, and then there was the electrostimulation. (I bought that machine too.) I have yet to set up my home treatment. But I am wondering if a visiting PT could come to your mother's house for a dozen sessions to help her set up a home treatment program. I do not know your Mom's age but for my own mother medicare paid for a PT to come to the house. It was included in home nursing services after she was discharged from either rehab or the hospital. Perhaps that is the key variable: it is discharge contingent. Maybe you and she could contact the "good" PT out of town and ask for suggestions given the circumstances. Maybe somebody there would be available as a consultant or have some other ideas that would be helpful. I am sorry your mother is suffering. [/QUOTE]
