You’re dealing with pain, balance issues, or recovery from surgery. Getting to a clinic adds stress you don’t need right now.
In-home physical therapy means your therapist brings the equipment and expertise to your living room. No fighting traffic on the LIE or Sunrise Highway. No sitting in a waiting room wondering if you’ll make it home before you’re exhausted.
Your sessions are longer than the industry standard. That means more hands-on time, more attention to what’s actually limiting you, and a treatment plan built around your home environment. You work on the stairs you actually use, the furniture you actually sit in, and the routines you actually need to get back to.
Medicare covers these visits. Most commercial insurance does too. You get the same licensed care you’d receive in a clinic, but you’re not spending half your energy just getting there.
We’ve been providing in-home physical and occupational therapy across Long Island since 2010. That’s over a decade of helping people in Holtsville, Holbrook, Farmingville, and surrounding communities recover at home.
Every therapist on our team is licensed and trained specifically in home-based care. That matters because treating someone in their house is different than a clinic setting. Your therapist assesses your actual environment and builds your program around the real challenges you face daily.
Holtsville residents know how spread out Long Island can be. When mobility is already an issue, asking you to drive 20 minutes each way for a 30-minute session doesn’t make sense. We’ve built our entire model around eliminating that barrier so you can focus on recovery instead of logistics.
First, you call to schedule. We typically book within 24 hours, sometimes same-day if you need it. You don’t need a prescription to start, though we coordinate with your doctor throughout treatment.
Your physical therapist arrives at your home for the initial evaluation. They assess your movement, pain levels, balance, strength, and daily activities. You talk through what you’re struggling with and what you want to get back to doing. This takes about an hour because we’re not rushing you through.
From there, your therapist creates a treatment plan specific to your condition and goals. Maybe it’s gait training after a stroke. Maybe it’s fall prevention because balance has become an issue. Maybe it’s post-surgery rehabilitation for a knee or hip replacement. Each session builds on the last, with exercises and techniques you can practice between visits.
Sessions happen on your schedule. Your therapist brings any needed equipment. You work together in whatever space makes sense—living room, bedroom, even outside if that’s where you need to regain confidence. Progress gets tracked and reported to your physician so everyone stays on the same page.

Fall prevention is huge for older adults in Holtsville. Balance and proprioceptive training help reduce your fall risk by strengthening the systems that keep you steady. Gait training improves how you walk, which matters whether you’re recovering from a stroke or just noticing it’s gotten harder to get around.
Joint pain treatment addresses knees, hips, shoulders, and backs without surgery. Therapeutic exercise and resistance training rebuild strength you’ve lost. Stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation help you regain function after events that changed your mobility.
Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation prepares you for procedures and gets you back faster afterward. Injury rehabilitation treats sprains, strains, and accidents. Neuromuscular re-education retrains your body’s movement patterns when something’s gone wrong.
Long Island’s aging population faces these challenges daily. Muscle weakness, joint stiffness, poor flexibility, and dizziness limit what you can do. Our occupational therapy services help with daily tasks like dressing, cooking, and bathing when those become difficult. The goal is always maximum independence in your own home.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary, and that includes therapy provided in your home.
You don’t pay for the service itself beyond your standard Medicare deductible and coinsurance. Most people pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after meeting their Part B deductible. If you have a Medicare Supplement plan, it often covers that 20%.
The key is that the therapy must be prescribed by a doctor and provided by a Medicare-certified therapist. Our therapists are licensed and our services are Medicare-covered. We handle the billing and paperwork directly with Medicare so you’re not navigating that system alone. We also accept most commercial insurance plans if you’re not on Medicare yet.
We treat anything that limits your movement, balance, strength, or daily function. That includes recovery from strokes, hip or knee replacements, fractures, and falls.
Balance problems and dizziness are common reasons people start home therapy. If you’ve noticed you’re unsteady or you’ve already fallen once, that’s exactly what we address. Gait training helps if walking has become difficult or painful.
Chronic conditions like arthritis, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy all benefit from ongoing physical therapy. We also work with people recovering from hospital stays who aren’t quite ready to leave the house but need rehabilitation to regain independence. Basically, if something physical is keeping you from doing what you need or want to do, that’s what we’re here for.
Sessions run about 60 minutes. That’s longer than the typical clinic visit, which often gets cut to 30 or 45 minutes because therapists are juggling multiple patients.
You get one-on-one attention the entire time. Your therapist isn’t splitting focus between you and two other people. That extra time means more hands-on treatment, more detailed instruction on exercises, and more opportunity to ask questions.
The length also allows your therapist to work on multiple areas in one visit. Maybe you need manual therapy for a stiff shoulder, balance exercises to prevent falls, and strengthening for weak legs. An hour gives enough time to address all of that properly instead of rushing through. Frequency depends on your condition—some people need twice a week, others once a week or less as they improve.
Not to start. New York allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can begin treatment without a prescription.
That said, if you’re using Medicare or insurance, they typically require a physician’s order at some point. We can start your evaluation and initial treatment right away, then coordinate with your doctor to get the necessary paperwork for coverage.
This direct access matters when you’re in pain or your mobility suddenly declines. You don’t have to wait days or weeks for a doctor’s appointment before getting help. You can call us, get scheduled quickly, and start addressing the problem. We communicate with your physician throughout treatment to keep them informed and ensure everyone’s working toward the same goals for your recovery.
The biggest difference is we treat you in the environment where you actually live. Your therapist sees the stairs you struggle with, the bathroom layout that’s causing problems, and the furniture that’s hard to get out of.
That context matters. We can modify your home setup, teach you techniques specific to your space, and practice the exact movements you need for daily life. If getting in and out of your shower is the issue, we work on that in your actual bathroom, not a generic setup at a clinic.
There’s also no travel burden. If you’re already dealing with pain, weakness, or balance problems, getting to appointments is exhausting and sometimes risky. Home therapy eliminates that stress entirely. You save time, energy, and the anxiety that comes with navigating transportation when you’re not at your best. For many Holtsville residents, especially those without family nearby or reliable transportation, this makes the difference between getting care and going without.
Usually within 24 hours, sometimes same-day depending on therapist availability and your schedule. We know that when you’re dealing with pain or a sudden decline in mobility, waiting a week or two isn’t acceptable.
When you call, we gather basic information about your condition and insurance, then match you with a therapist who serves Holtsville and has experience with your specific needs. We work around your schedule since we’re coming to you.
This quick turnaround matters for people who’ve just been discharged from the hospital, had a fall, or experienced a sudden change in their condition. The sooner you start therapy, the better your outcomes typically are. We’ve structured our scheduling specifically to reduce wait times because we know delays in treatment often mean delays in recovery or even regression while you’re waiting.
