You’re dealing with pain, balance issues, or recovery that makes getting to appointments harder than it should be. Maybe you’re worried about falling again. Maybe you just got out of the hospital and the idea of driving to a clinic feels impossible right now.
That’s where in-home physical therapy changes everything. You get one-on-one attention from a licensed physical therapist in your own space, where you actually live and move every day. No waiting rooms. No rushing. Just focused care that fits your schedule and your reality.
The goal isn’t just to feel a little better. It’s to help you walk more confidently, reduce your fall risk, manage joint pain, and get back to doing what matters—whether that’s cooking, gardening, or just moving through your home without fear. For many people in Hewlett, NY, especially those over 65, in-home therapy is what finally makes recovery feel manageable.
We’ve been providing physical therapy and occupational therapy across Nassau and Suffolk County for over a decade. We’re not new to this. We know Hewlett—the aging population here, the need for fall prevention, the challenges people face when mobility becomes an issue.
Our therapists are licensed, experienced, and focused on treating you like family, not a number. We accept Medicare and nearly all commercial insurances, so cost doesn’t have to be a barrier. Every treatment plan is built around your specific needs, your home environment, and your goals.
We’ve built our reputation on showing up, doing the work, and helping people in Hewlett, NY stay independent longer. That’s it.
It starts with a call. You tell us what’s going on—pain, balance problems, post-surgery recovery, stroke rehabilitation, whatever brought you here. We’ll verify your insurance, usually Medicare, and schedule your first visit at a time that works for you.
Your physical therapist comes to your home and does a full evaluation. They’ll assess your strength, balance, range of motion, and how you move through your space. Then they’ll build a personalized treatment plan based on what you actually need, not a generic protocol.
From there, you’ll have regular sessions—could be once a week, could be more depending on your condition. Your therapist will guide you through therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, and neuromuscular re-education. They’ll also give you exercises to do between visits so you keep progressing.
As you improve, the plan adjusts. The end goal is always independence—getting you strong enough, stable enough, and confident enough to live your life without needing us anymore.

We treat a wide range of conditions, all in your home. Fall prevention and balance training are huge in Hewlett, NY, where nearly 18% of residents are over 65 and falls are a leading cause of injury. If you’ve fallen before or you’re afraid you will, we address that directly with proprioceptive training and strengthening exercises.
Joint pain treatment is another common need—knees, hips, shoulders, back. Whether it’s arthritis, an old injury, or post-surgical recovery, we use therapeutic exercise and resistance training to reduce pain and restore function. Stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation are also core services, helping people regain movement and independence after a stroke or neurological event.
We also handle pre and post surgery rehabilitation, injury rehabilitation, and occupational rehabilitation for people getting back to work or daily activities. Every session is one-on-one. Every plan is customized. And because we come to you, we can see exactly how you move in your home and make real-world adjustments that a clinic can’t.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. That means if you’re homebound or have significant difficulty leaving your home due to illness, injury, or disability, Medicare will typically cover your sessions.
You’ll still have cost-sharing—usually 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. But the majority of the cost is covered. We handle the billing and work directly with Medicare, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork alone.
If you’re not sure whether you qualify as homebound, we can help you figure that out during your initial call. Most people in Hewlett, NY who need in-home therapy do qualify, especially older adults recovering from surgery, stroke, or dealing with chronic balance issues.
Physical therapy focuses on movement—strength, balance, walking, pain relief, and mobility. Your physical therapist works on things like gait training, fall prevention, joint pain treatment, and getting you moving safely again.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily living activities—dressing, bathing, cooking, using the bathroom. Your occupational therapist helps you adapt your environment and relearn skills so you can take care of yourself independently.
A lot of people in Hewlett, NY benefit from both, especially after a stroke, major surgery, or a serious fall. We offer both services, and sometimes your treatment plan will include a combination depending on what you need. Your therapist will recommend the right approach after your evaluation.
It depends on your condition, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people see significant improvement in 4 to 6 weeks. Others need a few months, especially if they’re recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or dealing with chronic neurological issues.
Your physical therapist will give you a clearer timeline after your evaluation. They’ll also reassess your progress regularly and adjust the plan as you improve. The goal is always to get you strong and stable enough that you don’t need us anymore.
Most people in Hewlett, NY who stick with their exercises between sessions and stay consistent with appointments see faster results. Recovery isn’t passive—you have to do the work. But we’ll be there every step of the way to guide you and make sure you’re doing it safely.
Yes, in many cases. Medicare’s homebound requirement doesn’t mean you can never leave your home. It means leaving is a major effort—you need help, you use a walker or wheelchair, or it causes significant pain or fatigue.
If you can go to a doctor’s appointment with assistance or attend church once a week, that doesn’t automatically disqualify you. What matters is whether leaving your home for regular outpatient therapy would be difficult or unsafe.
We evaluate this on a case-by-case basis. If you’re in Hewlett, NY and you’re unsure whether you qualify, just call us. We’ll ask a few questions and let you know honestly whether in-home therapy makes sense for your situation. If it doesn’t, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Your first visit is an evaluation. Your physical therapist will ask about your medical history, current symptoms, medications, and what’s been hard for you lately. Then they’ll assess your strength, flexibility, balance, and how you move—standing up, walking, climbing stairs if you have them.
They’ll also look at your home environment. Are there tripping hazards? Do you need grab bars? Is your furniture arranged in a way that makes movement harder? This is one of the biggest advantages of in-home therapy—we see your real world and can make practical recommendations.
After the evaluation, your therapist will explain what they found and outline a treatment plan. You’ll usually start some exercises right there during the first visit. The whole thing takes about an hour. By the end, you’ll know what to expect moving forward and what your goals are.
That’s frustrating, and it happens more than you’d think. Sometimes it’s because the treatment wasn’t specific enough. Sometimes people couldn’t keep up with appointments because getting to the clinic was too hard. Sometimes the exercises didn’t translate to real life.
In-home therapy is different because we’re working with you in the environment where you actually need to function. We’re not guessing how you move at home—we’re seeing it. And because we come to you, consistency is easier. You’re more likely to stick with it when you’re not fighting traffic or relying on someone to drive you.
If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t get the results you wanted, it’s worth trying again with a different approach. We’ll listen to what didn’t work last time and build a plan that makes more sense for your life in Hewlett, NY.
