You’re dealing with joint pain, balance issues, or recovery from surgery. Getting to a clinic twice a week adds stress you don’t need. Transportation is a hassle. Parking is worse. And sitting in a waiting room when you’re already uncomfortable makes everything harder.
In-home physical therapy removes those barriers. Your therapist comes to you, evaluates your movement in the environment where you actually live, and builds a treatment plan around your space and your schedule. You get the same evidence-based care—gait training, therapeutic exercise, fall prevention—without the commute.
Most patients see meaningful improvement in mobility and pain within the first few weeks. You’re not just doing exercises. You’re learning how to move safely in your own home, which is where it matters most. That’s the difference between clinic-based rehab and therapy that fits your real life.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy and occupational therapy across Suffolk and Nassau County for over a decade. Every therapist on our team is licensed, Medicare-certified, and trained in treating patients who need care at home.
We accept Medicare and nearly all commercial insurances. Our Lake Grove patients include post-surgical recovery, stroke rehabilitation, neurological conditions, and anyone dealing with mobility limitations that make clinic visits difficult. We’ve built our reputation on showing up on time, communicating clearly, and treating every patient with the same respect we’d expect for our own family.
Lake Grove has plenty of therapy options. What sets us apart is simple: we come to you, and we do it right.
Your first session starts with a full evaluation. Your physical therapist assesses your strength, balance, range of motion, and any pain or limitations you’re experiencing. They’ll also look at your home environment—stairs, furniture layout, bathroom setup—to identify fall risks and movement challenges specific to your space.
From there, they build a treatment plan. That might include gait training to improve how you walk, balance exercises to reduce fall risk, joint mobilization for pain relief, or therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength after surgery. Every session is one-on-one, typically 45 to 60 minutes, and scheduled around your availability.
Between visits, you’ll have a home exercise program. Your therapist will show you exactly what to do, how often, and why it matters. Progress gets tracked at every session. If something isn’t working, the plan adjusts. You’re not locked into a generic protocol—this is your recovery, and it moves at your pace.

We treat a wide range of conditions, all in your Lake Grove home. That includes post-surgery rehabilitation for joint replacements, fractures, and soft tissue repairs. Stroke rehabilitation and neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or MS. Injury recovery from falls, sprains, or chronic overuse. And fall prevention programs designed specifically for older adults who want to stay independent.
Your therapist will use hands-on techniques like joint mobilization and neuromuscular re-education, combined with therapeutic exercise, resistance training, and balance work. If you’re recovering from a stroke, that might mean retraining movement patterns and improving coordination. If you’re dealing with arthritis or joint pain, the focus shifts to pain management and restoring functional movement.
Lake Grove’s aging population—60% of adults over 55 have used physical therapy—means we see a lot of patients managing chronic conditions alongside acute injuries. Our approach accounts for that. We’re not just treating the immediate problem. We’re helping you maintain mobility and independence long-term, which matters more than any single diagnosis.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and provided by a licensed therapist. That includes in-home therapy if your doctor orders it and you meet the criteria—typically meaning you have difficulty leaving your home due to mobility limitations, medical conditions, or recovery needs.
You’ll need a referral or prescription from your physician. From there, Medicare covers 80% of the approved amount after you’ve met your Part B deductible. Most supplemental insurance plans cover the remaining 20%. We handle the billing and work directly with Medicare, so you’re not navigating paperwork on your own.
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us. We’ll verify your coverage before the first visit and walk you through what’s covered and what’s not. No surprises.
It depends on your condition and goals. Post-surgical rehab might take 6 to 12 weeks. Chronic conditions like arthritis or balance issues may need ongoing maintenance over several months. Stroke recovery and neurological rehabilitation often require longer timelines, sometimes 3 to 6 months or more.
Your therapist will give you a clearer estimate after the initial evaluation. They’ll also reassess your progress every few weeks and adjust the plan as needed. Some patients improve faster than expected. Others need more time. The timeline isn’t rigid—it’s based on how your body responds and what you’re working toward.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, approve a set number of visits and then require documentation to extend coverage if more treatment is needed. We handle that process and keep you informed every step of the way.
We treat joint pain, back problems, post-surgical recovery, stroke rehabilitation, neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and MS, fall prevention, balance disorders, gait abnormalities, fractures, sprains, and chronic conditions like arthritis or COPD that limit mobility. We also work with patients recovering from hospital stays or managing multiple conditions that make leaving home difficult.
Your therapist tailors treatment to your specific diagnosis and functional goals. If you’re recovering from a hip replacement, the focus is on restoring strength and range of motion. If you’re dealing with balance issues and a history of falls, we’ll work on proprioceptive training and environmental modifications to reduce risk.
The common thread is this: if your condition affects your ability to move safely and independently, and you’d benefit from skilled therapy at home, we can help. If you’re not sure whether your situation fits, reach out. We’ll talk through your needs and let you know if in-home therapy makes sense.
No. Your therapist brings any necessary tools—resistance bands, balance aids, measurement devices—to your home. Most exercises use your body weight, household items like chairs or countertops, and the space you already have.
If your treatment plan would benefit from specific equipment long-term, like a walker, cane, or grab bars, your therapist will recommend it and help you understand what to get and where to find it. But that’s not required for treatment to start or progress. We work with what you have.
One advantage of in-home therapy is that your therapist can assess your actual living environment and design exercises that fit your space. If you have stairs, we’ll incorporate stair training. If your bathroom setup creates fall risk, we’ll address that directly. The “equipment” is your home, and that’s more useful than anything in a clinic.
Most patients start with two to three visits per week, depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment plan. As you improve, frequency often drops to once a week or every other week for maintenance and monitoring.
Your therapist will recommend a schedule after your evaluation. That recommendation is based on clinical guidelines, your insurance coverage, and what’s realistic for your situation. If twice a week feels like too much or not enough, speak up. The schedule should support your recovery, not add stress.
Sessions are typically scheduled at the same time each week for consistency, but we can adjust if your availability changes. The goal is to make therapy as convenient as possible while still delivering results. You’re already dealing with enough—scheduling shouldn’t be one more thing to manage.
Physical therapy focuses on movement—strength, balance, mobility, pain management, and functional tasks like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair. Occupational therapy focuses on daily living activities—dressing, bathing, cooking, managing medications, and adapting your environment to maintain independence.
There’s overlap. Both help you function better at home. But if your primary issue is mobility, pain, or recovering from surgery, you’ll likely start with physical therapy. If you’re struggling with fine motor skills, cognitive changes after a stroke, or adapting to a new disability, occupational therapy may be more appropriate.
Many patients benefit from both, especially after a stroke or major surgery. Your doctor will specify which type of therapy is needed in the referral. If you’re unsure which applies to your situation, we can talk through it and coordinate with your physician to make sure you’re getting the right care.
