You’re dealing with pain, limited mobility, or recovering from surgery—and getting to appointments feels like another obstacle. That’s the problem we solve.
We bring the clinic to your home in Islandia. You get the same evidence-based treatment you’d receive in an office, but without the stress of travel, parking, or waiting. Your therapy happens in your space, on your schedule, with equipment and exercises designed around your daily routine.
This isn’t just convenient. It’s more effective. We see how you move in your actual environment—the stairs you climb, the kitchen you navigate, the bedroom setup that affects your sleep. That context shapes better treatment plans and faster progress toward the independence you want back.
We’ve provided in-home physical and occupational therapy across Long Island since 2010. We’re affiliated with established therapy centers including Physical Therapy Associates of Smithtown and Speonk Physical Therapy, bringing decades of combined clinical experience to your door.
Here’s what matters to you: we accept Medicare and most commercial insurance plans. Our therapists are licensed, our operations are secure, and our focus stays on getting you functional results without the runaround.
Islandia and Suffolk County have higher fall rates than most of New York—88% of injury hospitalizations for adults over 65 in Nassau County stem from falls. We specialize in fall prevention programs designed by Otago-trained specialists, plus gait training and balance work that directly addresses what Long Island seniors face daily.
First, we verify your insurance coverage and get any needed authorizations handled. Most Medicare patients have full coverage for in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary—meaning you have difficulty leaving home or getting to an office safely.
Your physical therapist schedules an initial evaluation at your home. They assess your mobility, strength, balance, and pain levels. More importantly, they see your actual living environment and daily challenges. That first visit typically runs 45-60 minutes.
From there, we build a treatment plan specific to your goals. Maybe it’s walking without a cane again. Climbing stairs safely. Reducing joint pain enough to garden. Regaining arm function after a stroke. Your therapist brings any needed equipment and guides you through exercises that fit your space and abilities.
Sessions usually happen 2-3 times per week, depending on your condition and insurance coverage. Progress gets tracked, exercises get adjusted, and you work toward measurable improvements in strength, balance, and independence. When you hit your goals, we transition you to a maintenance program or discharge you with a home exercise plan to keep the gains.

We treat a wide range of conditions right in your Islandia home. Post-surgery rehabilitation gets you moving safely after joint replacements, spinal procedures, or orthopedic repairs. Stroke rehabilitation focuses on regaining movement, coordination, and functional independence through neuromuscular re-education.
Fall prevention is critical here—Long Island residents face higher fall risk than almost anywhere else in New York. We provide balance and proprioceptive training, gait training to restore normal walking patterns, and strength work to stabilize your movements. These programs are built on Otago protocols proven to reduce falls.
You’ll also get therapeutic exercise for chronic conditions, joint pain treatment without drugs or surgery, and injury rehabilitation for sprains, strains, and fractures. We handle neurological rehabilitation for conditions like Parkinson’s or MS, plus occupational rehabilitation to help you return to daily activities and work tasks.
Treatment includes manual therapy, resistance and strength training tailored to your tolerance, and education on body mechanics that prevent re-injury. Everything happens in your home with equipment we bring, and every exercise gets adapted to your actual living space and furniture.
Yes, Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. Medical necessity typically means you have difficulty leaving your home safely—whether due to mobility limitations, recent surgery, fall risk, or conditions that make travel dangerous.
You’ll need a physician’s referral stating why home-based therapy is appropriate for your situation. Medicare covers 80% of approved costs after you meet your Part B deductible, and you’re responsible for the remaining 20%. Most Medicare Supplement plans cover that 20% copay.
We handle the authorization process and verify your coverage before starting treatment. There’s no limit on the number of sessions Medicare will cover as long as you’re making measurable progress and therapy remains medically necessary. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, coverage works similarly but may require network participation—we accept most major plans and can confirm your specific benefits during scheduling.
We treat post-surgical recovery including joint replacements, spinal surgeries, and orthopedic procedures. Stroke rehabilitation is a major focus—helping you regain movement, balance, and daily function through targeted neuromuscular work. We also handle neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy.
Injury rehabilitation covers fractures, sprains, strains, and soft tissue damage. Chronic pain conditions including back pain, arthritis, and joint degeneration get addressed through therapeutic exercise and manual techniques. Fall prevention is huge for Long Island residents—we provide balance training, gait correction, and strength work specifically designed to reduce fall risk.
You don’t need a recent hospital stay or surgery to qualify. Chronic conditions that limit your mobility or make leaving home difficult also warrant in-home therapy. If you’re struggling with stairs, experiencing frequent falls, or finding that pain and weakness keep you homebound, that’s exactly who we’re set up to help. The key qualifier is that getting to an outpatient clinic presents a genuine hardship or safety risk.
Most patients receive therapy 2-3 times per week, but frequency depends on your condition, insurance coverage, and treatment goals. Post-surgical patients often start with three weekly sessions during early recovery, then taper to twice weekly as they progress. Chronic condition management might be twice weekly from the start.
Each session typically lasts 45-60 minutes. Your therapist uses that time for hands-on treatment, guided exercises, and education about managing your condition between visits. You’ll also get a home exercise program to do on non-therapy days—consistency between sessions drives faster results.
Insurance authorization determines the approved frequency and duration. Medicare generally approves the frequency your doctor recommends as long as it’s reasonable for your diagnosis. We track your progress through standardized measurements, and if you’re not improving as expected, we adjust the treatment approach or frequency. When you hit your functional goals, we reduce session frequency or transition you to independent exercise. The goal is always getting you strong and stable enough that you don’t need us anymore.
Physical therapy focuses on mobility, strength, balance, and pain reduction. Your physical therapist works on getting you walking better, climbing stairs safely, reducing joint pain, and rebuilding strength after surgery or injury. The goal is improving how your body moves and functions.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily living activities—dressing yourself, cooking, bathing, managing medications, and other tasks that make you independent at home. Your occupational therapist might work on fine motor skills for buttoning shirts, cognitive strategies for medication management, or adaptive techniques for cooking safely with limited mobility.
Many patients benefit from both. After a stroke, you might need physical therapy to regain leg strength and walking ability, plus occupational therapy to relearn how to dress yourself and prepare meals. Post-surgery patients often need PT to restore joint mobility and strength, while OT helps them safely return to household tasks and self-care. We provide both services and coordinate care when you need multiple therapies. Your doctor’s referral and insurance authorization determine which therapy types you receive.
No, your therapist brings portable equipment needed for your treatment. That might include resistance bands, therapy balls, balance tools, or small weights. We design your program around what you already have at home—chairs, countertops, stairs, and your own furniture become part of the therapy setup.
This approach actually works better than clinic-based therapy for many patients. We’re training you on the exact stairs you climb daily, the actual bathroom layout you navigate, and the real furniture you use to stand up. That specificity translates to faster functional improvements in your daily life.
If your treatment plan would benefit from durable medical equipment like a walker, cane, or grab bars, your therapist will recommend specific items and help you understand how to obtain them through insurance or purchase. We don’t sell equipment—we just guide you toward what actually helps based on your home environment and mobility needs. Most patients find they need little to nothing beyond what their therapist brings and what’s already in their home.
Most patients notice some improvement within 2-3 weeks of consistent therapy. That might be less pain, better balance, or increased strength for specific movements. Significant functional changes—like walking without assistance or climbing stairs independently—typically take 6-8 weeks depending on your starting point and condition.
Post-surgical recovery follows predictable timelines. Joint replacement patients usually need 8-12 weeks of therapy to regain functional mobility. Stroke recovery is longer and more variable—initial improvements happen in the first 3 months, but continued gains can occur for a year or more with consistent work.
Chronic conditions like arthritis or balance disorders often improve within 4-6 weeks, though ongoing maintenance exercises become part of your routine. Fall prevention programs show measurable balance improvements in 6-8 weeks when you follow the prescribed exercise frequency. The timeline depends heavily on your consistency with home exercises between therapy visits—patients who do their prescribed exercises daily progress roughly twice as fast as those who only work during therapy sessions. Your therapist tracks specific measurements each week so you can see objective progress, not just how you feel.
