From Gymnastics Studios to Garage Gyms: Who Can Benefit from In-Home Physical Therapy?

When people think of home health physical therapy, they often picture older adults recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions—and we absolutely serve those patients. But that’s only part of the story.

At Vertex PT Specialists, our Outpatient Home Health Physical Therapy team serves a wide spectrum of patients in Lexington and Richland Counties. From total knee replacements to competitive gymnasts and powerlifters. If you need PT but want to keep training, working, or living on your terms, we’ll come to you.

Who We Serve

We regularly help:

✅ Older adults recovering from joint replacements
✅ Patients with Parkinson’s, strokes, or other neurological conditions
✅ Busy professionals recovering from surgery who prefer privacy and convenience
✅ Youth athletes who need to stay in their training environment
✅ High-level strength athletes rehabbing joint injuries without leaving their gym

Our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy bring the clinic to you.

This isn’t a convenience play, it’s a model designed around function, independence, and outcomes. We deliver the same high-level care you’d receive in a clinic, but in the environments that matter most to you: your home, your gym, your studio.

We treat a wide range of patients across Lexington and Richland Counties, from post-operative joint replacements to youth athletes and neurological cases. Our clinicians are equipped to manage complex rehab plans, advanced manual therapy techniques, and individualized strength and conditioning—all without you stepping foot into a clinic.

Some of the people we work with include:

• Gymnasts and dancers who need to stay active during rehab, treated right in their studio environment to maintain continuity and confidence
• Donnie Thompson—the first human to total 3,000 pounds in powerlifting competition, who trusted our team to handle his total knee rehab in his home gym
• Adults recovering from strokes or managing Parkinson’s Disease, where in-home care allows us to build strength, coordination, and safety in the same spaces they navigate daily
• Active individuals who prefer manual therapy and movement-based care in their garage gym or home training space
• Older adults regaining independence after surgery or injury, through targeted functional training like navigating stairs, standing from chairs, and improving walking endurance

We proudly serve patients in Lexington, West Columbia, Cayce, Columbia, Forest Acres, Irmo, and nearby communities.

Why It Matters

• No missed practices or training sessions
