What does it really take to help patients rebuild strength and reclaim independence at home? In Part 2 of our conversation with Charles Libby, founder of Libby Physical Therapy Services, we dig even deeper into the realities of home-health physical therapy—and what makes it so uniquely effective.

With over 30 years of experience, Charles shares the day-to-day challenges therapists face in patients’ homes and how those challenges are often opportunities for deeper, more impactful care. He opens up about how he keeps patients motivated between visits, the misconceptions that still surround home health services, and the surprising ways artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape physical therapy.

We also explore how home-based care contributes to long-term quality of life. Whether you’re in the healthcare field, supporting a loved one through recovery, or simply passionate about patient-centered care, this episode offers grounded insight and real-world inspiration you won’t want to miss.
