You’re dealing with pain that limits what you can do. Maybe it’s getting up from a chair, walking without fear of falling, or just moving through your day without constant discomfort. The right physical therapy changes that.
In-home treatment means no stressful trips to a clinic when you’re already hurting. Your therapist comes to you, evaluates your actual living space, and builds a plan around the movements you need most. Fall prevention training happens in the rooms where you actually walk. Balance work uses your furniture, your stairs, your bathroom.
Research shows 79% of physical therapy patients report significant pain reduction. That’s not marketing—that’s what happens when treatment is personalized, consistent, and designed for real-world function. You get stronger where it counts. You move with more confidence. And you keep doing the things that matter to you without depending on someone else to make it happen.
We’ve been providing in-home physical and occupational therapy across Long Island for over a decade. Our therapists are fully licensed, Medicare-certified, and trained specifically in home-based rehabilitation—which is different from clinic work.
Blue Point’s population skews older, with over 25% of residents above age 64. That means our typical patient here isn’t looking for sports rehab or quick fixes. They need fall prevention, post-surgical recovery, stroke rehabilitation, and chronic condition management. We do that work every day.
We handle the insurance verification, coordinate with your doctor, and show up when we say we will. You get the same therapist throughout your treatment, not whoever’s available that day. That consistency matters when you’re rebuilding strength and trust in your own body.
First, we verify your insurance and get any needed authorization from your doctor. Most of our Blue Point patients are on Medicare, which covers in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary. We handle that paperwork.
Your therapist schedules an initial evaluation at your home. They assess your mobility, strength, balance, and pain levels. More importantly, they see your environment—the stairs you use, the bathroom layout, the furniture you navigate daily. That context shapes your treatment plan.
Sessions typically run 45-60 minutes, scheduled at times that work for you. Your therapist brings any needed equipment. You’ll do therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, and functional movement practice. Between visits, you’ll have a home exercise program—simple enough to do on your own, specific enough to make progress.
Treatment length varies. Post-surgical rehab might run 6-8 weeks. Chronic condition management or neurological rehabilitation could be longer. Your therapist tracks measurable progress and adjusts the plan as you improve. When you’ve hit your goals and can maintain your gains independently, you’re done.
Ready to get started?
You get a licensed physical therapist who specializes in the type of rehab you need. That might be post-surgery recovery after a joint replacement, stroke rehabilitation with neuromuscular re-education, or fall prevention with balance and proprioceptive training. We also provide occupational therapy for daily living skills and hand function.
Each session includes hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, and functional training specific to your goals. If you’re recovering from a hip replacement, we’re working on stairs, getting in and out of your car, and bathroom safety. If it’s stroke rehab, we’re focused on gait training, coordination, and rebuilding movement patterns.
For Blue Point residents dealing with arthritis—which affects nearly 19% of adults—we provide joint pain treatment through resistance and strength training that doesn’t aggravate inflammation. For the 25% of local residents over 64, fall prevention is critical. Physical therapy reduces fall risk by 25%, and we do that through targeted balance work in your actual home environment.
You also get education for family members. They learn safe transfer techniques, how to spot-check your exercises, and what warning signs need attention. That support structure makes a real difference in outcomes.
Yes, Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy when you’re homebound and it’s deemed medically necessary by your doctor. Homebound doesn’t mean you can never leave—it means leaving home takes considerable effort due to illness, injury, or disability.
You’ll pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you’ve met your Part B deductible. If you have a Medicare Supplement plan, it typically covers that 20%. We verify your specific coverage before starting treatment, so you know exactly what to expect.
The key requirement is that your doctor orders the therapy and certifies you’re homebound. We coordinate directly with your physician’s office to get that documentation. Most of our Blue Point patients qualify without any issues, especially those recovering from surgery, dealing with severe arthritis, or managing conditions that affect mobility and balance.
The biggest difference is context. Your therapist sees exactly where you’re struggling—your bathroom setup, the stairs you use daily, the furniture layout you navigate. Treatment gets designed around your real environment, not a generic clinic space.
There’s no transportation stress. If you’re recovering from surgery or dealing with balance issues, getting to a clinic can be risky and exhausting. Home therapy eliminates that barrier entirely. You save energy for the actual work of recovery.
You also get more personalized attention. It’s one-on-one for the full session, not split time in a busy clinic. Your therapist isn’t managing three other patients simultaneously. That focused time means better education, more hands-on work, and treatment that adjusts in real-time based on how you’re responding that day.
We handle post-surgical rehabilitation—joint replacements, cardiac procedures, spinal surgery recovery. That’s a big portion of our Blue Point caseload, given the local demographic. You need structured rehab to regain strength and function safely, and doing it at home reduces infection risk and transportation challenges.
Stroke rehabilitation and neurological conditions are another focus area. We provide neuromuscular re-education, gait training, and balance work for patients recovering from stroke, managing Parkinson’s, or dealing with MS. These conditions require specialized training, which our therapists have.
We also treat chronic conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and COPD where physical therapy improves function and reduces symptom severity. Fall prevention is huge—we do comprehensive balance and proprioceptive training that’s proven to reduce fall risk by 25%. And we handle general mobility issues, deconditioning in elderly patients, and injury rehabilitation when someone’s mobility is limited enough that home-based care makes more sense.
It depends entirely on your condition and goals. Post-surgical rehab typically runs 6-8 weeks with 2-3 sessions per week. You’re working toward specific milestones—walking independently, managing stairs, returning to normal daily activities. Once you hit those markers and can maintain progress on your own, you’re done.
Stroke rehabilitation and neurological conditions often require longer treatment—sometimes 3-6 months. Recovery timelines are less predictable, and progress happens in stages. Your plan adjusts as you improve, with session frequency often decreasing over time as you build independence.
Chronic condition management might be intermittent. You do a course of therapy to improve function and learn a maintenance program, then return for tune-ups if symptoms flare or function declines. Medicare covers medically necessary therapy, but there are limits on total visits per year. We track that carefully and make sure every session counts toward measurable progress. You’ll always know where you stand in terms of coverage and what outcomes we’re working toward.
Have your insurance card and photo ID ready. We’ll need to verify information and document everything properly for billing. If you have a list of current medications, that’s helpful—especially anything for pain, blood pressure, or blood thinners that might affect exercise tolerance.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Your therapist needs to see how you move and may need to assess joints or muscle groups. Think loose pants and a t-shirt, not restrictive jeans. If we’re working on gait or balance, wear the shoes you typically use around the house.
Clear a small space where you can move safely—enough room to walk a few steps, do some standing exercises, or work on floor-to-stand transfers if that’s relevant. You don’t need special equipment. Your therapist brings what’s needed and uses your home environment as part of the treatment.
Have any relevant medical records handy if you have them—surgical reports, recent imaging, discharge instructions from a hospital stay. Not required, but it gives your therapist better context. Most importantly, come with specific goals. What do you want to be able to do that you can’t do now? That clarity shapes everything.
Yes. Occupational therapy focuses on daily living skills—dressing, bathing, cooking, managing household tasks. Physical therapy addresses mobility, strength, and pain. Many patients need both, especially after a stroke or major surgery.
An occupational therapist evaluates how your condition affects daily function, then provides adaptive strategies and exercises to rebuild those skills. That might mean hand therapy after an injury, cognitive exercises after a stroke, or energy conservation techniques for someone with COPD or cardiac issues.
We coordinate between physical and occupational therapy when you need both. Your PT works on walking and strength. Your OT works on using your hands, managing your kitchen safely, or adapting your bathroom setup. It’s all covered under Medicare when medically necessary, and having both therapists from the same company means better communication and a more cohesive treatment plan. You’re not repeating your medical history to multiple agencies or dealing with scheduling conflicts between different providers.
