You’re not looking for someone to just stretch your leg and send you on your way. You want to walk without worrying about falling. You want to get up from a chair without bracing yourself. You want to move through your day without that constant ache reminding you something’s off.
That’s what in-home physical therapy in Montauk is built for. When a licensed physical therapist works with you at home, they see how you actually live—the stairs you take, the bathroom setup, the furniture you navigate. They’re not guessing what your daily routine looks like. They’re watching it.
Fall prevention starts with understanding your balance, your gait, and the specific movements that put you at risk. Stroke rehabilitation isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about retraining your body to do what it used to, step by step. Post-surgery recovery means getting you mobile again without setbacks. And when you’re working with someone who knows what they’re doing, you don’t just feel better—you get better.
This isn’t about managing symptoms. It’s about building strength, improving balance, and getting back to the things you’ve been avoiding because they felt too hard or too risky.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy across Long Island since 2010. That’s over a decade of working with patients who need care but can’t—or don’t want to—spend their day driving to appointments.
Montauk’s population skews older, with a median age over 53 and nearly a quarter of residents aged 65 or older. That means more joint pain, more fall risk, more post-surgery recovery, and more people who need a physical therapist who actually understands what aging bodies go through. Our therapists are licensed, Medicare-certified, and members of the American Physical Therapy Association. We’re not rushing through appointments or following generic protocols.
We work with your physician. We coordinate with your family. And we show up when we say we will, because continuity matters when you’re trying to get better.
It starts with a phone call. We verify your Medicare coverage, get the necessary physician orders, and schedule your first session at a time that works for you. No waiting weeks for an opening.
Your physical therapist comes to your home and does a full assessment. They’re looking at your strength, your balance, your range of motion, and your pain levels. But they’re also looking at your environment—where you’re at risk of falling, what movements are hardest, and what goals matter most to you. Then they build a treatment plan around that.
Each session is one-on-one. You’re not sharing time with three other patients. Your therapist guides you through therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, and neuromuscular re-education. They adjust resistance and intensity as you improve. They teach you what to do between sessions so progress doesn’t stall.
As you get stronger, the plan evolves. If you’re recovering from surgery, early sessions focus on mobility and pain management. Later sessions build strength and endurance. If you’ve had a stroke, rehabilitation targets the specific functions you’ve lost—whether that’s walking, using your arm, or improving coordination. And if you’re working on fall prevention, you’ll do proprioceptive training and exercises that directly improve stability.
You’re not guessing if it’s working. You’ll feel the difference when you stand up, when you walk, and when you do the things that used to hurt.

Every session covers what you actually need—not a cookie-cutter routine. That means therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength, resistance and strength training to support joints and prevent future injury, and balance training to reduce fall risk. If you’re dealing with joint pain, your therapist uses manual techniques and targeted exercises to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
For stroke rehabilitation, treatment focuses on regaining motor control, improving coordination, and retraining your brain to communicate with your muscles. Neurological rehabilitation addresses conditions like Parkinson’s, MS, or neuropathy with exercises designed to maintain function and slow progression. Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation gets you ready for procedures like joint replacement—and then gets you moving again afterward without complications.
Gait training improves how you walk, correcting imbalances that lead to falls or pain. Neuromuscular re-education retrains your nervous system to control movement properly after injury or surgery. And occupational rehabilitation helps you return to daily activities—cooking, dressing, bathing—without assistance.
Montauk’s aging population means these services aren’t luxuries. They’re necessities. With 60% of adults over 55 receiving physical therapy at some point, and falls being a leading cause of injury in older adults, having access to a licensed physical therapist who comes to your home isn’t just convenient—it’s often the difference between independence and decline.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. That includes in-home sessions if you’re homebound or if leaving your home requires considerable effort due to illness, injury, or disability.
You’ll need a doctor’s referral and a treatment plan that outlines why therapy is necessary. We handle the verification and billing directly with Medicare, so you’re not navigating paperwork on your own. Most patients pay a copay after meeting their deductible, but coverage specifics depend on your plan.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, call us. We’ll check your eligibility before scheduling anything, so there are no surprises.
It depends on what you’re treating and how consistent you are. Post-surgery recovery might take six to twelve weeks of regular sessions. Stroke rehabilitation can take months, with progress happening in stages. Fall prevention and balance training often show improvement within a few weeks, but maintaining those gains requires ongoing work.
Physical therapy has a success rate between 68% and 72% for reducing pain and improving function. That’s not a guarantee—it’s an average. Your results depend on your condition, your effort between sessions, and how well you follow your treatment plan.
Most patients see noticeable improvement within the first month. You’ll move more easily, feel less pain, or regain confidence in activities you’d been avoiding. But real, lasting recovery takes time. If someone promises you’ll be pain-free in three sessions, they’re either lying or treating something minor.
The treatment itself is the same. The difference is convenience, personalization, and safety. When a physical therapist comes to your home, they see exactly how you live. They assess the stairs you use, the bathroom layout, the furniture arrangement—all the things that affect your mobility and fall risk.
In a clinic, you’re working in a controlled environment that doesn’t reflect your daily challenges. At home, your therapist can modify your actual space, recommend adaptive equipment, and teach you how to navigate your real surroundings safely.
For older adults or anyone recovering from surgery, avoiding the drive matters. Getting to a clinic requires energy, coordination, and often help from family. In-home therapy eliminates that burden. You’re not exhausted before treatment even starts. And if you’re at higher risk of falls or injury, staying home is just safer.
Yes, but only if the program is specific to your risk factors. Falls happen because of weak muscles, poor balance, slow reflexes, or environmental hazards. A good fall prevention program addresses all of those.
Your physical therapist will assess your gait, test your balance, and measure your strength. Then they’ll design exercises that target your weak points—whether that’s ankle stability, hip strength, or reaction time. You’ll also do proprioceptive training, which improves your body’s ability to sense where it is in space. That’s what helps you catch yourself before you fall.
They’ll also walk through your home and identify hazards—loose rugs, poor lighting, furniture placement, bathroom setup. Small changes can make a big difference. Studies show that balance training and strength exercises reduce fall risk significantly in older adults. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s one of the most effective interventions available.
Your first session is an evaluation. Your physical therapist will ask about your medical history, current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve. They’ll test your strength, flexibility, balance, and range of motion. If you’re recovering from surgery or an injury, they’ll assess the affected area and see how it’s healing.
They’ll also watch how you move—how you stand up, how you walk, how you navigate your home. They’re looking for compensations, imbalances, or movements that increase your risk of injury. Then they’ll explain what they found and outline a treatment plan.
You might do some light exercises during that first visit, but the focus is on understanding your baseline. From there, each session builds on the last. You’ll know what to expect, how long treatment will take, and what you need to do between visits to keep progressing.
If you’re struggling with pain, mobility, or balance, and it’s affecting your daily life, you probably need one. That includes chronic back pain, joint pain, difficulty walking, frequent falls, or recovery from surgery or stroke.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from physical therapy. A lot of people wait until they can barely move or until they’ve fallen multiple times. By then, recovery takes longer and the risks are higher. If you’re avoiding activities because you’re worried about pain or falling, that’s a sign you should get evaluated.
Your doctor can refer you, but you can also call us directly. We’ll talk through what you’re dealing with and whether physical therapy makes sense. If it does, we’ll coordinate with your physician and get you scheduled. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
