You shouldn’t have to choose between getting the care you need and staying in the place where you feel safe. If getting to a clinic feels like a barrier—whether it’s transportation, mobility challenges, or just the exhaustion of another appointment—you’re not alone.
In-home physical therapy means a licensed professional comes to you. You get one-on-one attention in your own environment, where your therapist can see exactly what you’re working with: your stairs, your bathroom setup, the chair you struggle to get out of. That context matters when building a plan that actually works for your daily life.
The goal isn’t just stronger muscles or better balance. It’s being able to move through your day without hesitation, without fear, and without needing someone else to do things you used to handle on your own. That’s what changes when therapy meets you where you are.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy and occupational therapy across Long Island since 2010. Our affiliated centers—including Physical Therapy Associates of Smithtown and Speonk Physical Therapy—bring decades of combined experience to Suffolk and Nassau County communities like East Hampton North.
We focus on patients who find it difficult to leave home, whether due to mobility limitations, post-surgery recovery, or chronic conditions that make travel exhausting. Our therapists are Medicare-certified and trained in fall prevention, neurological rehabilitation, and stroke recovery—areas where Long Island seniors face statistically higher risks than most of New York State.
You’re not a case number here. We treat every patient like family, and that’s reflected in how we show up: on time, prepared, and genuinely invested in helping you regain what you thought you’d lost.
Your first session starts with a detailed assessment. Your therapist will review your medical history, current abilities, and personal goals—whether that’s walking without a cane, getting upstairs safely, or just feeling steady on your feet again. They’ll also evaluate your home environment to identify fall risks and mobility challenges specific to your space.
From there, you’ll get an individual treatment plan. This isn’t a generic protocol. It’s built around your needs and might include balance and proprioceptive training, gait training to improve how you walk, therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength, or neuromuscular re-education if you’re recovering from a stroke or neurological condition.
Each session happens in your home at a scheduled time that works for you. Your therapist will guide you through exercises, teach you techniques you can practice between visits, and adjust your plan as you progress. If you need adaptive equipment or modifications to your home setup, they’ll recommend what actually helps—not what looks good on paper.
Most patients see us one to three times per week depending on their condition and goals. Medicare typically covers these visits when medically necessary, and we handle the billing and documentation so you can focus on getting better.

Here’s something that matters if you live in Nassau or Suffolk County: Long Island seniors are statistically more at risk for falls than almost anyone else in New York. In Nassau County alone, 88% of injury hospitalizations for adults over 65 are fall-related. That’s not a small number, and it’s why fall prevention isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s central to what we do.
Our fall prevention programs combine strength training, balance exercises, and gait training to address the root causes of instability. We work on core strength, lower body power, and coordination—the things that keep you upright when you hit an uneven surface or turn too quickly. If you’ve caught yourself from falling recently or feel hesitant when walking, that’s your body telling you something needs attention.
We also provide pre and post surgery rehabilitation for joint replacements and other procedures, stroke rehabilitation for patients rebuilding mobility after a neurological event, and occupational therapy to help you manage daily tasks more safely. If you’re dealing with joint pain, muscle weakness, or chronic conditions affecting your movement, we build treatment around what’s limiting you most.
Every service is Medicare-approved and delivered by licensed professionals who understand that your home is where real life happens—and where real progress gets made.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and provided by a Medicare-certified therapist—which all of our clinicians are. That means if your doctor determines you need therapy to improve or maintain your function, and you meet Medicare’s homebound criteria, your sessions are typically covered.
The homebound requirement doesn’t mean you can never leave your house. It means leaving home takes considerable effort due to illness, injury, or disability. If getting to a clinic is difficult or exhausting because of mobility issues, post-surgery recovery, or chronic conditions, you likely qualify.
We handle the Medicare billing and documentation directly. You won’t need to file claims or chase down paperwork. Most patients have a copay or coinsurance depending on their specific plan, and we’ll walk you through what that looks like before we start.
A fall risk assessment looks at the full picture: your medical history, current medications, strength and balance levels, walking pattern, vision, and home environment. We’re checking for things like muscle weakness in your legs and core, poor balance when standing or turning, slow or unsteady gait, and environmental hazards like loose rugs or poor lighting.
Your therapist will also ask about recent falls or near-falls, dizziness, and whether you feel hesitant or fearful when moving around. Fear of falling is a real factor—it changes how you move and often makes things worse. We address that directly through confidence-building exercises and education.
Based on what we find, you’ll get a personalized plan that might include strengthening exercises, balance and proprioceptive training, gait training to improve how you walk, and recommendations for home modifications or assistive devices. The goal is reducing your fall risk while improving your overall mobility and independence.
Most patients start noticing improvements within two to four weeks, but the timeline depends on your condition, goals, and how consistently you practice between sessions. If you’re recovering from surgery, you might feel stronger and more mobile within a few weeks. If you’re addressing chronic balance issues or neurological conditions, progress can take longer but still builds steadily.
The key is consistency. We typically recommend one to three sessions per week depending on your needs, and what you do between visits matters just as much as the sessions themselves. Your therapist will give you exercises and techniques to practice at home—simple, manageable things that fit into your day.
Some patients reach their goals in six to eight weeks. Others benefit from longer-term care, especially if they’re managing ongoing conditions like Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, or arthritis. We adjust your plan as you progress and keep you informed about what’s working and what needs more attention.
Absolutely. Stroke rehabilitation is one of our core specialties, and doing it at home offers real advantages. After a stroke, you need to relearn movements and rebuild strength in the environment where you’ll actually be living and functioning. That makes home-based therapy incredibly practical.
We use neuromuscular re-education to help your brain and muscles reconnect, gait training to improve walking and balance, therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength and coordination, and task-specific training so you can handle daily activities more independently. If you’re dealing with weakness on one side, poor balance, or difficulty with fine motor tasks, we build a plan around those specific challenges.
Stroke recovery takes time, and progress isn’t always linear. Some weeks you’ll see big improvements, other weeks feel slower. Our therapists are trained to adjust your program as you heal and to help you stay motivated when things feel hard. The goal is maximizing your independence and quality of life—not just checking boxes on a protocol.
Physical therapy focuses on mobility, strength, balance, and movement. If you’re struggling to walk safely, get up from a chair, climb stairs, or move without pain, that’s typically physical therapy. We work on the mechanics of how your body moves and build the strength and coordination you need to do it better.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily living skills and functional independence. If you’re having trouble dressing yourself, preparing meals, bathing, or managing household tasks because of physical limitations, that’s where occupational therapy helps. It’s about adapting how you do things so you can stay independent.
Many patients benefit from both, and we offer both services in your home. For example, if you’re recovering from a stroke, physical therapy might address your walking and balance while occupational therapy helps you relearn how to button a shirt or use utensils. We coordinate care between therapists when it makes sense so you’re getting comprehensive support without duplication or confusion.
Yes. Joint pain and arthritis are among the most common reasons people seek physical therapy, and we treat both through targeted exercise, manual techniques, and education. The goal is reducing pain, improving mobility, and helping you stay active without making things worse.
Treatment usually includes therapeutic exercise to strengthen the muscles around affected joints, resistance and strength training to improve overall function, and gentle range-of-motion work to maintain or improve flexibility. We also teach you how to move in ways that protect your joints during daily activities—things like how to get in and out of a car, lift objects safely, or modify movements that trigger pain.
Arthritis doesn’t go away, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the limitations you have now. Many patients see significant improvements in pain levels and mobility with consistent therapy. We also coordinate with your doctor if medications, injections, or other treatments might help alongside therapy. You’re not managing this alone.
