You’re not just avoiding a car ride. You’re getting care in the environment that actually matters—your home, where you need to function every day.
Your physical therapist sees how you move in your kitchen, your bathroom, your bedroom. They spot the real obstacles: that step you’ve been avoiding, the chair that’s too low, the hallway that feels unsafe after dark. That’s not something you can replicate in a clinic.
And you’re not splitting attention with three other patients. It’s one therapist, one focus: you. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or working to prevent falls, the treatment plan is built around your space, your schedule, and your specific goals. Most people notice better balance and less pain within the first few weeks. The difference is that the progress happens where it counts.
We’ve been serving East Rockaway, NY and the surrounding Long Island communities for years. We’re not a rotating staff or a corporate chain. Same therapists, same standard of care, every visit.
Our team includes licensed physical therapists trained in fall prevention, stroke rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, and post-surgery recovery. We work with your insurance the same way an outpatient clinic would—most major plans, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage are accepted.
East Rockaway has one of the highest concentrations of residents over 65 on Long Island. We know what that means: more joint replacements, more balance concerns, more people who’d rather recover at home than fight traffic to a clinic. We built our service around that reality.
You call or submit a request. We verify your insurance and schedule your first visit at a time that works for you—morning, afternoon, evening. No need to arrange a ride.
Your physical therapist comes to your home with everything needed for the session. They’ll evaluate your mobility, strength, balance, and pain levels. Then they’ll walk through your home to identify fall risks or movement challenges specific to your layout.
From there, you’ll start a personalized treatment plan. That might include gait training to improve how you walk, therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength, balance training to prevent falls, or neuromuscular re-education if you’re recovering from a stroke or neurological condition. Each session builds on the last.
You’ll typically see your therapist two to three times per week, depending on your needs. Progress is tracked at every visit. As you improve, the program adjusts. The goal is always the same: get you functioning independently and confidently in your own home.

Every session is one-on-one. No multitasking, no assistants running the appointment. Your therapist is there for the full visit, working directly with you.
Treatment may include fall prevention and balance training—critical in East Rockaway, where nearly 35% of adults over 65 experience a fall each year. We also provide gait training to improve walking mechanics, joint pain treatment for hips, knees, and shoulders, and therapeutic exercise tailored to your limitations and goals.
If you’re recovering from surgery, we handle pre and post surgery rehabilitation, including joint replacements. For stroke survivors or those with neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, we offer stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation designed to restore function and independence. Resistance and strength training, injury rehabilitation, and occupational therapy support are also part of what we do.
Your therapist will coordinate with your doctor and update them on your progress. If you need equipment like resistance bands or balance tools, we bring them. Insurance covers in-home visits the same way it covers outpatient therapy, so there’s no financial penalty for choosing convenience and better outcomes.
Yes. Health insurance covers in-home physical therapy visits the same way it covers outpatient clinic visits. You’ll pay whatever co-pay your plan requires—there’s no upcharge for receiving care at home.
We accept most major commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage. Before your first visit, we handle the benefits verification process so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises, no hidden fees.
If you’re unsure whether your plan is accepted, call us. We’ll confirm coverage and walk you through your out-of-pocket costs before scheduling anything.
Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65 in East Rockaway and across Long Island. In-home physical therapy can prevent 30 to 40 percent of falls through targeted balance training, gait training, and strength exercises.
Here’s why it works: your therapist evaluates your home environment. They see the loose rug, the poor lighting, the awkward step you take every day. Then they build a program that trains your body to handle those specific challenges. You’re not just doing generic exercises—you’re preparing for the real movements you make in your real space.
We also assess your risk factors: muscle weakness, poor balance, medication side effects, vision issues. Then we address them. Most patients see measurable improvement in stability and confidence within four to six weeks.
Your first visit lasts about 60 minutes. Your physical therapist will start by asking about your medical history, current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Be ready to talk about pain levels, mobility limitations, and any recent surgeries or injuries.
Next, they’ll evaluate your movement. That includes checking your strength, range of motion, balance, and how you walk. They’ll also tour your home to spot fall risks or environmental barriers that might be slowing your recovery.
Before they leave, you’ll have a clear treatment plan: how often you’ll meet, what exercises you’ll do, and what goals you’re working toward. You’ll also get a few exercises to practice between visits. Most people start to feel more stable and less pain within the first two weeks.
Absolutely. Post-surgery rehabilitation is one of the most common reasons people choose in-home physical therapy in East Rockaway, NY. Whether you’ve had a hip replacement, knee replacement, or shoulder surgery, recovering at home is often faster and less stressful than traveling to a clinic.
Your therapist will start with gentle range-of-motion exercises and progress to strength training and functional movement as you heal. The goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and get you back to daily activities without complications.
In-home care also reduces your risk of re-injury. You’re not getting in and out of a car or navigating a parking lot on a healing joint. You’re working in a controlled, familiar environment where your therapist can monitor your form and adjust your program in real time.
It depends on your condition and goals. Most people see significant improvement in six to eight weeks, but some need more time, and others need less.
For example, if you’re recovering from a stroke or managing a neurological condition, your treatment plan might last several months. If you’re dealing with joint pain or recovering from a minor injury, you might be done in four to six weeks.
Your therapist will reassess your progress every few visits and adjust the plan as needed. The goal is always to get you functioning independently as quickly as possible—not to drag out treatment. Once you’ve hit your goals and can maintain your progress on your own, you’re done.
We treat a wide range of conditions, but the most common in East Rockaway are back pain, knee pain, hip pain, and balance issues. About 34% of physical therapy patients seek care for back pain, and another 12% come in with leg or knee problems.
We also specialize in stroke rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation for conditions like Parkinson’s or MS, fall prevention programs, and post-surgery recovery. If you’ve had a joint replacement, suffered an injury, or you’re managing chronic pain from arthritis or diabetes-related complications, we can help.
Our therapists are trained in gait training, therapeutic exercise, resistance and strength training, and neuromuscular re-education. If you’re not sure whether your condition qualifies, call us. We’ll talk through your situation and let you know if in-home therapy is a good fit.
