You shouldn’t have to choose between getting the care you need and dealing with the hassle of getting there. That’s the reality for a lot of people in Westhampton—especially if you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or dealing with balance issues that make driving risky.
In-home physical therapy changes that. We show up with the equipment, the plan, and the expertise. You get one-on-one attention in your own space, where you’re most comfortable and where the work actually matters—your bathroom, your stairs, your kitchen.
The goal isn’t just less pain. It’s getting back to the things you do every day without second-guessing your body. That means better balance, stronger joints, more confidence moving around your home, and a clear plan that actually fits your life.
Medcare Therapy Services has been providing in-home care across Long Island for over a decade. That includes Westhampton and the surrounding areas, where we’ve built a reputation for showing up on time, treating people with respect, and delivering real results.
Our therapists are licensed professionals—many with doctorate-level training—who specialize in everything from post-surgical rehab to neurological recovery. We accept Medicare and work with most major insurance plans, so cost doesn’t have to be a barrier.
Long Island ranks among the highest in New York for fall-related injuries in adults over 65. That’s not a scare tactic—it’s why fall prevention and balance training are core parts of what we do here. You deserve care that understands the risks you’re facing and knows how to address them.
Your first session starts with an evaluation. We’ll ask about your pain, your mobility, your goals, and what’s been getting in the way. We’ll also assess your strength, balance, range of motion, and how you move through your home.
From there, we’ll build a treatment plan that’s specific to you. That might include therapeutic exercise, gait training, joint pain treatment, manual therapy, or balance work. If you’re recovering from a stroke or surgery, the plan adjusts to match where you are in your recovery.
Each session is one-on-one. We bring portable equipment—resistance bands, weights, balance boards, even bikes or steppers if needed. You’re not sharing time or attention with other patients. The focus is entirely on your progress, your pain levels, and your function.
Sessions typically happen two to three times a week, depending on your needs and your insurance coverage. Over time, you’ll notice improvements—less pain, better movement, more confidence. And when you’re ready, we’ll give you the tools to keep that progress going on your own.

Every treatment plan is different, but most include a mix of hands-on therapy, guided exercise, and education. You might work on strength training to support weak joints, balance exercises to reduce fall risk, or neuromuscular re-education if you’re recovering from a stroke or neurological condition.
If you’ve had a joint replacement, surgery, or injury, we’ll guide you through each phase of recovery—from reducing swelling and restoring range of motion to rebuilding strength and returning to normal activity. For chronic conditions like arthritis or back pain, the focus shifts to managing symptoms and maintaining function over the long term.
Occupational therapy is also available if you need help with daily tasks—getting dressed, cooking, bathing, or moving safely around your home. Both services are Medicare-covered for eligible patients, and most sessions are billed directly to your insurance.
In Westhampton and across Long Island, fall prevention is a major focus. With 88% of injury hospitalizations for seniors linked to falls, balance and proprioceptive training aren’t optional—they’re essential. We’ll assess your risk and build fall prevention strategies into your care from day one.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy if it’s considered medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. That usually means you’re recovering from surgery, an injury, or a medical event like a stroke—or you have a condition that makes it unsafe or unrealistic for you to travel to a clinic.
You’ll need a referral or prescription from your physician, and we’ll coordinate with your doctor to make sure everything is documented correctly. Medicare typically covers a set number of sessions per benefit period, and you may have a copay depending on your plan.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, call us. We’ll verify your coverage before your first visit so there are no surprises.
We treat a wide range of orthopedic, neurological, and medical conditions. That includes joint pain from arthritis or overuse, post-surgical recovery after hip or knee replacement, stroke rehabilitation, balance disorders, and chronic back or neck pain.
If you’ve had a fall or you’re at risk for falling, we focus heavily on gait training and balance work. For neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, MS, or neuropathy, treatment includes neuromuscular re-education and functional mobility training.
We also work with people recovering from fractures, sprains, ligament tears, and other injuries—especially if those injuries make it hard to leave the house. The goal is always the same: reduce pain, restore function, and help you move through your day with more confidence and less limitation.
Most sessions last between 45 minutes and an hour. That gives us enough time to work through your exercises, provide hands-on treatment, and make adjustments based on how you’re feeling that day.
The length can vary depending on your condition and your insurance plan. Some people start with longer sessions and taper down as they improve. Others maintain a consistent schedule throughout their care.
We’ll let you know what to expect during your evaluation. If you get tired easily or have other health concerns, sessions can be modified to match your tolerance. The point is to challenge you without overdoing it.
Have your insurance card and ID ready, along with any paperwork from your doctor—especially if you have a prescription or referral for therapy. If you’ve had recent imaging (X-rays, MRIs), it’s helpful to have those reports available, but not required.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. If we’re working on your knee, don’t wear jeans. If we’re addressing shoulder pain, a loose shirt or tank top works better than something tight.
Clear a small space where you can move around safely—enough room to stand, step, and do basic exercises. We’ll bring any equipment needed, but it helps to have a sturdy chair nearby and a clear path through the areas of your home we’ll be working in.
Absolutely. Fall prevention is one of the most important services we provide, especially in Westhampton and across Long Island, where fall rates for seniors are among the highest in New York.
We start with a balance assessment to identify your specific risk factors—whether that’s muscle weakness, poor coordination, vision issues, or environmental hazards in your home. From there, we build a program that includes balance exercises, proprioceptive training, strength work, and gait training.
We also evaluate your home for fall risks—loose rugs, poor lighting, clutter, uneven surfaces—and give you practical recommendations to make your space safer. The combination of physical training and environmental changes makes a real difference. You’ll feel steadier on your feet, and you’ll move with more confidence, whether you’re walking to the mailbox or navigating your stairs.
That depends on the type of surgery and your surgeon’s protocol, but in many cases, therapy can start within a few days to a week after you’re discharged. For joint replacements, early movement is critical to prevent stiffness and promote healing.
Your surgeon will give you clearance and a prescription for therapy, and we’ll coordinate directly with their office to make sure we’re following the right timeline and restrictions. Some people start with gentle range-of-motion work and progress to strengthening as they heal. Others need more aggressive rehab right out of the gate.
Starting therapy at home has a major advantage: you’re recovering in your own environment, which means we can address the real-world challenges you’re facing—like getting in and out of bed, using the bathroom, or navigating stairs. That makes the recovery process faster and more functional than doing generic exercises in a clinic.
