Inpatient physical therapy refers to staying in a facility for rehabilitative therapy and care. Similar to a regular hospital, this requires being admitted to a rehab program and staying there until the treatment is complete. Depending upon a patient’s individual needs, the length of an inpatient stay may be anywhere from a few days to a month or more. Individuals admitted to inpatient rehab facilities receive comprehensive rehabilitative care via a well-coordinated team of multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals. Inpatient physical therapy is typically only used in cases of serious disability, whereas less serious incidents are treated in an outpatient setting.
