You stop worrying about how you’ll get to another appointment. Transportation becomes a non-issue when your physical therapist shows up at your door with everything needed to help you regain strength, balance, and confidence.
Most people notice real improvements within four to six weeks. That means fewer falls, less joint pain, and more control over daily movements like getting out of a chair or walking without assistance. You’re not just doing exercises—you’re rebuilding the physical foundation that lets you stay independent.
The work happens in your actual environment, which matters more than most people realize. Your therapist sees the layout of your home, identifies fall risks you might not notice, and tailors your treatment to the spaces where you actually live. It’s therapy that fits your life, not the other way around.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy across Long Island since 2010. We’re affiliated with Physical Therapy Associates of Smithtown and Speonk Physical Therapy, which means you’re getting care backed by decades of clinical experience and a network that understands this community.
Bayport and the surrounding Suffolk County areas have unique needs—aging populations, multi-level homes, and a strong preference for aging in place. We’ve built our practice around those realities. Every therapist we send is licensed, Medicare-certified, and trained in fall prevention, stroke rehabilitation, gait training, and therapeutic exercise.
You’re not a case number here. Patients consistently mention how much they trust their therapists and how sad they are when treatment ends. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
It starts with your doctor. They’ll write a prescription for physical therapy, which we use to coordinate your first visit. If you’re Medicare-eligible and homebound, coverage typically applies—we handle the verification and paperwork so you don’t have to chase down answers.
Your first session is an evaluation. Your physical therapist assesses your current mobility, strength, balance, and any pain or limitations you’re dealing with. They’ll also walk through your home to spot fall risks like loose rugs, poor lighting, or furniture placement that could cause problems. You’ll leave that visit with a clear treatment plan.
From there, sessions happen on a schedule that works for you—usually two to three times per week. Each visit builds on the last. You’ll work through exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. Your therapist will also teach you techniques for safer movement and may recommend adaptive equipment if it helps.
Progress gets tracked closely. Most people start feeling more stable and confident within a month. By eight to twelve weeks, you’re usually at a point where you’ve regained enough function to manage on your own. The goal isn’t endless therapy—it’s getting you back to independent living.

You get one-on-one attention from a licensed physical therapist who specializes in geriatric care and home-based rehabilitation. That includes fall prevention programs, balance and proprioceptive training, gait training, joint pain treatment, therapeutic exercise, and resistance and strength training. If you’re recovering from a stroke, surgery, or injury, we also provide neurological rehabilitation, pre and post-surgery rehabilitation, and neuromuscular re-education.
Bayport has a higher-than-average senior population, and falls are a leading cause of injury for older adults in Suffolk County. That’s why fall prevention is a core part of what we do. Your therapist will assess your balance, work on strengthening your legs and core, and make recommendations for your home setup to reduce risk. It’s proactive care that keeps you out of the hospital.
We also coordinate with your caregivers. If you have family or aides helping you at home, we’ll educate them on safe transfer techniques, positioning, and body mechanics. That reduces strain on everyone and makes daily routines safer and smoother. You’re not just getting therapy—you’re getting a plan that involves everyone in your care circle.
Yes, Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy if you’re considered homebound and your doctor prescribes it. Homebound means leaving your home requires significant effort due to illness, injury, or disability. You don’t have to be completely bedridden—many people qualify even if they can leave occasionally for medical appointments or religious services.
Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount after you’ve met your deductible. You’re responsible for the remaining 20%, which is your copay. If you have a supplemental insurance plan (Medigap), it may cover part or all of that copay.
We verify your coverage before starting treatment and handle the billing directly with Medicare. You won’t have to submit claims yourself. If there are any coverage questions or limits, we’ll let you know upfront so there are no surprises.
Most people start noticing improvements within four to six weeks of consistent therapy. That might look like better balance, less pain when moving, or more confidence walking without assistance. Real, measurable progress takes time because you’re rebuilding strength and retraining movement patterns that may have declined over months or years.
The full course of treatment usually runs eight to twelve weeks, depending on your condition and goals. Stroke rehabilitation or post-surgery recovery may take longer, while something like joint pain treatment or gait training might resolve faster. Your therapist will give you a clearer timeline after your initial evaluation.
Consistency matters. If you’re doing your exercises between sessions and following your therapist’s guidance, you’ll see faster results. Skipping sessions or not practicing at home will slow things down. Think of it like physical training—you get out what you put in.
We treat a wide range of conditions that affect mobility, strength, and daily function. That includes arthritis, osteoporosis, balance and gait disorders, joint pain, muscle weakness, and neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis. If you’ve had a stroke, hip or knee replacement, or any surgery that affects movement, physical therapy helps you recover faster and more completely.
Fall prevention is one of the most common reasons people start therapy. Falls lead to fractures, hospitalizations, and a loss of independence—but they’re often preventable with the right exercises and home modifications. We also work with people managing chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or dealing with age-related decline in strength and coordination.
If you’re not sure whether therapy would help your situation, your doctor can assess and write a prescription if it’s appropriate. We’ll take it from there and build a treatment plan around your specific needs and limitations.
Physical therapy focuses on improving your movement, strength, balance, and mobility. It’s about helping you walk better, reduce pain, prevent falls, and regain physical function after an injury or surgery. Your physical therapist will work on exercises that target specific muscle groups, improve coordination, and retrain movement patterns.
Occupational therapy focuses on helping you perform daily activities more easily and safely. That includes things like dressing, bathing, cooking, and using adaptive equipment. An occupational therapist looks at how your physical limitations affect your ability to live independently and finds practical solutions to work around them.
There’s overlap, and many people benefit from both. We offer both services, and in some cases, your treatment plan may include a combination of physical and occupational therapy. Your doctor and therapist will recommend what makes sense based on your goals and condition.
No, your therapist brings everything needed for your sessions. That includes resistance bands, weights, balance tools, and any other equipment required for your exercises. You don’t need to buy anything or set up a home gym before we start.
That said, your therapist may recommend simple items that make therapy more effective or your home safer. Things like a shower chair, grab bars, or a walker might come up during your evaluation. These aren’t required for therapy itself, but they can reduce fall risk and make daily tasks easier.
If adaptive equipment is recommended, your therapist will explain why it helps and where to get it. Some items are covered by Medicare or insurance, and we can point you toward suppliers who handle that process. The goal is to make your home as safe and functional as possible without creating unnecessary expense.
You’ll need a prescription from your doctor. Call your primary care physician or specialist and let them know you’re interested in home-based physical therapy. They’ll evaluate whether it’s appropriate based on your condition and mobility, then write a prescription that outlines the type of therapy and frequency.
Once you have the prescription, contact us directly. We’ll verify your Medicare or insurance coverage, answer any questions about copays or costs, and schedule your first evaluation. That initial visit usually happens within a few days of your call, depending on therapist availability in Bayport and the surrounding areas.
From there, your therapist takes over. They’ll assess your needs, build a treatment plan, and start working with you right away. If you have questions before calling your doctor, reach out to us first—we can walk you through what to ask for and how the process works.
