You’re dealing with pain that limits what you can do. Maybe it’s your knee, your back, or balance issues that make you second-guess every step. That fear of falling isn’t just in your head—it changes how you live.
Physical therapy addresses what’s actually causing the problem. Not just masking pain, but rebuilding strength, improving how you move, and giving you confidence back. Most people see meaningful pain reduction within the first few months when they stick with a proper program.
The goal isn’t just feeling better for a week. It’s getting back to activities you’ve been avoiding—walking without worry, playing with grandkids, managing stairs without holding your breath. When your body works better, everything else gets easier.
We bring licensed physical therapists directly to homes across Atlantic Beach and Nassau County. No need to arrange rides or sit in waiting rooms when you’re already dealing with pain or mobility concerns.
Our therapists hold doctoral degrees and specialized certifications in areas like neurological rehabilitation, stroke recovery, and fall prevention. We’ve worked with the Atlantic Beach community long enough to understand what matters here—maintaining independence in a town where 32% of residents are over 65.
We’re a Medicare provider, which means most patients pay nothing out of pocket. Your therapy happens in your own space, with equipment and exercises designed around your actual daily routine, not a generic clinic setup.
You start with a phone call where we verify your Medicare coverage and schedule your first visit. No runaround, no surprise bills later.
A licensed physical therapist comes to your home and does a complete assessment. They’ll check your strength, balance, range of motion, and how you move through your actual living space. They’re looking at the real obstacles you face daily—your stairs, your bathroom setup, the surfaces you walk on.
From there, you get a personalized treatment plan. This isn’t a printout of generic exercises. It’s a program built around your specific limitations and goals, whether that’s recovering from surgery, managing arthritis pain, or preventing falls. Sessions typically happen 2-3 times per week, right in your home.
Your therapist brings any needed equipment and adjusts your plan as you progress. They’ll also teach you exercises to do between visits. Most programs run 8-12 weeks, but that depends entirely on your condition and how your body responds.

Your treatment covers whatever your condition requires. That includes fall prevention and balance training—critical in Atlantic Beach where the aging population faces real risk. One in four adults over 65 falls each year, and that first fall often starts a cycle of fear, reduced activity, and declining strength.
Gait training helps you walk more safely and efficiently. Therapeutic exercise and resistance training rebuild the strength you’ve lost. If you’re recovering from a stroke or dealing with neurological issues, you get specialized neurological rehabilitation that addresses coordination, movement patterns, and functional skills.
Joint pain treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and restoring mobility without just relying on medication. Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation prepares your body for procedures and speeds recovery afterward. Injury rehabilitation gets you back to normal activities, and neuromuscular re-education retrains your body’s movement patterns when they’ve been compromised.
Everything happens at your kitchen table, in your living room, or wherever makes sense for your goals. Your therapist works around your schedule, your space, and your pace.
Yes, Medicare Part B covers physical therapy in your home when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. You’ll typically pay nothing out of pocket after meeting your Part B deductible for the year.
We’re a Medicare provider, so we handle the billing and verification directly. Before your first session, we confirm your coverage so there are no surprises. Most Atlantic Beach residents we work with are on Medicare given the area’s demographics, and the vast majority have full coverage.
The key requirement is that your doctor determines you need physical therapy and that it’s more practical or necessary for you to receive it at home rather than in a clinic. Given mobility limitations, transportation challenges, or post-surgical restrictions, that’s usually straightforward to establish.
Fall prevention therapy combines balance training, strength building, and gait correction to address the specific reasons you’re unsteady. It’s not just about being careful—it’s about fixing the physical problems that make falls likely.
Your therapist will assess your balance using evidence-based screening tools, then create exercises that challenge your stability in controlled ways. That might include standing on different surfaces, weight shifting, or practicing movements that mimic real-life situations where you feel unsteady. Strength training focuses on your legs and core since those muscle groups keep you upright.
Gait training corrects how you walk. Many people develop compensating patterns that actually increase fall risk—shuffling, leaning, or favoring one side. Your therapist identifies these patterns in your own home environment and retrains proper movement. They’ll also evaluate your living space for hazards and recommend modifications. Studies show this multicomponent approach reduces falls significantly, especially when combined with consistent exercise.
Your first visit is an evaluation, usually lasting 45-60 minutes. The therapist will ask about your medical history, current symptoms, what activities are difficult, and what you want to be able to do again.
Then comes the physical assessment. They’ll check your range of motion, strength, balance, posture, and how you move. If you’re dealing with pain, they’ll identify exactly where it’s coming from and what triggers it. For balance issues, they might have you do simple standing tests or walk around your home so they can see your natural gait.
You’ll get a clear explanation of what they found and a treatment plan with specific goals. Most people start some light exercises during that first visit. You’ll also discuss scheduling—how many sessions per week and for how long. Everything is documented for your doctor and insurance, and you’ll leave knowing exactly what happens next.
Yes, and often more effectively than medication alone. Physical therapy for joint pain focuses on reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles around affected joints to take pressure off them.
Arthritis pain typically comes from joints that aren’t moving properly, surrounding muscles that have weakened, and inflammation from compensating movement patterns. Your therapist uses targeted exercises to restore proper joint mechanics and build supporting strength. Many people see significant pain reduction within the first 12 weeks.
Therapeutic exercise and resistance training are particularly effective for knee and hip arthritis, which are common in Atlantic Beach’s older population. The key is consistency and proper progression—doing the right exercises at the right intensity. Your therapist adjusts everything based on your pain levels and response. This approach often reduces or eliminates the need for pain medication, including opioids, which is a significant benefit given the risks those drugs carry.
In-home therapy treats you in the environment where you actually need to function. Your therapist sees the real challenges—your stairs, your bathroom layout, the distance from your bedroom to the kitchen. They design exercises and strategies around your actual daily life, not generic clinic equipment.
There’s no transportation burden, which matters when you’re already dealing with pain or mobility limitations. No waiting rooms, no exposure to illness, and no wasted energy getting to and from appointments. Your sessions happen on your schedule in your space.
The treatment itself is just as comprehensive as clinic-based therapy. Your therapist brings necessary equipment and provides the same hands-on care, exercise programs, and expertise. The difference is convenience and context. Many people progress faster because therapy integrates seamlessly into their routine, and compliance is higher when you’re not fighting to get to appointments.
We treat a wide range of conditions common in Atlantic Beach residents. That includes stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation for people recovering from strokes, Parkinson’s disease, or other neurological conditions affecting movement and coordination.
Orthopedic issues like joint pain, arthritis, and injury rehabilitation are a major focus. Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation helps people prepare for procedures like knee or hip replacements and recover more quickly afterward. Fall prevention and balance training address the mobility and stability concerns that affect many older adults.
We also provide occupational therapy for people who need help with daily activities, and neuromuscular re-education when injury or illness has disrupted normal movement patterns. Chronic pain management, gait training, and therapeutic exercise programs round out the services. If you’re dealing with something that limits your movement, independence, or quality of life, there’s a good chance physical therapy can help.
