Physical therapy: You can perform either active or passive physical therapy while being bedridden depending upon your disability. A trained physical therapist could find out your condition and any limitations from your physician and then evaluate,advise and instruct you on the type of exercises to build leg and arm strength for you in one visit. If you have the insurance coverage the therapist can continue working
