Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Physical Therapy
Leading companies in the physical therapy space are increasingly focusing on blending digital and in-person care to improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. This hybrid approach provides patients with hands-on, personalized therapy while leveraging the convenience and support of digital tools.
For instance, in January 2023, Hinge Health, a US-based physical therapy provider, introduced a house call physical therapy service beginning in Chicago with plans to expand nationwide. This service complements their existing digital offerings by allowing patients to receive therapy in their own homes or workplaces. It offers flexible scheduling, including next-day and weekend appointments, with sessions lasting about 45 minutes, covering a comprehensive physical assessment and home environment evaluation. This model aims to reduce barriers such as transportation challenges and technology access issues, thereby promoting health equity.
