Getting to a clinic when you’re already dealing with pain, balance issues, or recovery isn’t just inconvenient. It’s another barrier between you and feeling better.
That’s why in-home physical therapy makes sense for so many people in Wyandanch. You get the same licensed, skilled care—just without the commute, the waiting room, or the stress of arranging rides. Your therapist comes to you, evaluates your actual living environment, and builds a treatment plan around your real daily movements.
Whether you’re recovering from a stroke, managing joint pain, working through post-surgery rehab, or trying to prevent falls, you’re treated in the place where it matters most. Your home. Where you cook, walk, get dressed, and live. That context matters when you’re relearning movement or building strength. You’re not just doing exercises on a clinic table—you’re training for the life you’re actually living.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy and occupational therapy across Long Island for over a decade. We work with Medicare and nearly all commercial insurance plans, so cost doesn’t become another obstacle to getting care.
Our therapists treat patients across Wyandanch and surrounding Nassau and Suffolk County communities. We know the area, the population, and the specific challenges people face here—from aging in place to managing chronic conditions to recovering mobility after injury or surgery.
You’re not a number here. Our approach is straightforward: show up, assess what’s actually going on, apply the right therapy techniques, and help you regain independence. That’s it. No upselling, no runaround—just skilled, compassionate care delivered where you need it.
First, we schedule an initial evaluation at your home. A licensed physical therapist comes to you, reviews your medical history, and assesses your current mobility, strength, balance, and pain levels. They’ll also look at your home environment—stairs, furniture layout, bathroom setup—to identify any fall risks or movement challenges specific to your space.
From there, your therapist designs a personalized treatment plan. This might include therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance and proprioceptive training, neuromuscular re-education, or resistance and strength training. Every session is built around your goals—whether that’s walking without assistance, reducing joint pain, or getting back to normal activities after surgery.
You’ll typically be seen once or twice a week, depending on your needs and insurance coverage. Your therapist will also prescribe home exercises you can do between visits to keep progressing. You can start therapy without a prescription—you have 30 days or 10 visits before one is required. After that, your doctor can send over the necessary paperwork and we keep going.

We handle a wide range of conditions that benefit from skilled physical therapy. Stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehab are a big part of what we do—helping people regain movement, coordination, and independence after a neurological event. We also treat joint pain from arthritis or overuse, provide pre and post surgery rehabilitation, and work with patients recovering from injuries.
Fall prevention is critical in Wyandanch, especially for older adults. By age 65, you’ve likely lost a significant amount of muscle mass and function, which affects balance and reaction time. Our therapists use evidence-based balance training and strengthening exercises that have been shown to reduce fall risk by up to 25%. We assess your gait, your home layout, and your daily routines to create a plan that actually lowers your chances of falling.
We also provide occupational therapy for patients who need help with daily tasks like dressing, cooking, or bathing. And because we’re in your home, we can adapt your environment and teach techniques that work in your actual space—not a generic clinic setup. Medicare covers these services when medically necessary, and we accept most commercial insurance plans, so you can focus on recovery instead of paperwork.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by a doctor. That includes therapy delivered in your home.
You’ll need a referral or prescription, but you can actually start therapy before that paperwork comes through. You have 30 days or up to 10 visits to get the prescription submitted. After that, your doctor just needs to sign off and send it over.
Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount after you’ve met your deductible. You’re responsible for the remaining 20%, unless you have a supplemental plan that covers it. We handle the billing and work directly with Medicare, so you’re not stuck navigating the system on your own.
Physical therapy focuses on mobility—your ability to move, walk, balance, and build strength. If you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with joint pain, or working to prevent falls, that’s typically PT.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily living tasks—getting dressed, cooking, bathing, managing household activities. If you’re struggling with fine motor skills, coordination, or adapting to a disability, OT helps you regain independence in those areas.
A lot of patients benefit from both. Your therapist will assess your needs during the evaluation and recommend the right type of care. Sometimes it’s one or the other. Sometimes it’s both working together. Either way, the goal is the same: help you do what you need to do, safely and independently.
It depends on your condition, your goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people see significant improvement in a few weeks. Others need a few months of consistent work.
Stroke recovery and neurological rehab tend to take longer—often several months of regular sessions. Post-surgery rehab might be shorter, especially if you’re younger and otherwise healthy. Fall prevention and balance training usually run 6 to 8 weeks, but that varies based on your starting point.
Your therapist will give you a clearer timeline after the initial evaluation. They’ll also reassess your progress regularly and adjust the plan as needed. The goal isn’t to keep you in therapy forever—it’s to get you strong, stable, and independent again.
Yes. You don’t have to be completely homebound to qualify for in-home therapy. If getting to a clinic is difficult, risky, or just a major hassle, home therapy is an option.
Maybe you don’t drive anymore. Maybe stairs or walking long distances are a problem. Maybe you’re recovering from surgery and don’t want to deal with transportation. Those are all valid reasons to have therapy come to you.
Insurance, including Medicare, typically covers in-home therapy when it’s medically appropriate and more practical than clinic-based care. Your therapist and doctor will document why home therapy makes sense for your situation. As long as there’s a clinical reason, you’re usually covered.
The first visit is an evaluation. Your therapist will spend about an hour with you, going over your medical history, current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve. They’ll ask about pain, mobility limitations, balance issues, and any recent surgeries or injuries.
Then they’ll assess your movement. That might include watching you walk, testing your strength and range of motion, checking your balance, and seeing how you handle everyday tasks like getting up from a chair or climbing stairs. They’ll also look around your home for fall risks or obstacles that could interfere with your recovery.
At the end of the visit, they’ll explain what they found and outline a treatment plan. You’ll know what exercises or techniques they’re recommending, how often you’ll meet, and what kind of progress you can expect. If you have questions or concerns, that’s the time to ask. The whole process is straightforward and focused on figuring out how to help you move better.
Eventually, yes—but not right away. You can start therapy without a prescription and have up to 30 days or 10 visits to get one submitted. That means you don’t have to wait for a doctor’s appointment or paperwork to begin treatment.
Once you’re past that initial window, your doctor will need to send over a prescription or referral. Most primary care doctors are familiar with the process and can handle it quickly. If you’re seeing a specialist for your condition, they can write the prescription too.
We’ll let you know when the prescription is due and help coordinate with your doctor’s office if needed. The goal is to keep things moving so you’re not stuck waiting around when you’re ready to start feeling better.
