You’re dealing with pain that limits what you can do. Maybe it’s your back, your knee, or you’re recovering from surgery. Maybe you’ve had a fall and now every step feels uncertain.
Here’s what changes: you start moving with less pain. You rebuild strength in the areas that matter most for your daily life. You feel steadier on your feet, more confident getting around your home, and less worried about another injury.
Physical therapy isn’t about endless appointments with no progress. It’s about targeted treatment that addresses the root cause—whether that’s joint pain, balance issues after a stroke, or rebuilding strength post-surgery. Most patients see real improvement in pain levels and mobility within the first few weeks. That’s not a promise, it’s what happens when treatment is done right.
The difference with in-home care is simple: no commute, no waiting room, and therapy happens in the environment where you actually need to function. Your physical therapist works with you in your space, around your schedule, with your goals in mind.
We’ve been treating patients across Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 14 years. We’re not new to this. Our affiliated centers include Physical Therapy Associates of Smithtown and Speonk Physical Therapy, both with decades of experience.
Laurel Hollow residents face specific challenges. This is a community where people want to age in place, maintain their independence, and avoid institutional care. Many of you are managing chronic conditions, recovering from procedures, or dealing with mobility concerns that make leaving home difficult.
We accept Medicare and most commercial insurance. Our therapists are licensed, credentialed, and members of the American Physical Therapy Association. You’re not getting someone who just graduated—you’re getting professionals who’ve treated thousands of cases like yours.
First visit starts with an evaluation. Your physical therapist assesses your current mobility, pain levels, strength, balance, and any specific limitations you’re dealing with. This isn’t a generic assessment—it’s based on what you need to do in your daily life.
From there, you get a treatment plan. This includes therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, gait training if you’re unsteady on your feet, and specific interventions for whatever condition brought you here. If you’re recovering from a stroke, that means neurological rehabilitation focused on regaining function. If it’s joint pain, we’re working on strength, flexibility, and pain reduction.
Sessions happen in your home, typically two to three times per week depending on your needs. Your therapist brings any necessary equipment. You’re given exercises to do between visits—these aren’t optional, they’re part of the process.
Progress gets tracked. You’ll know if you’re improving because we measure it. Range of motion, strength gains, pain levels, balance scores—it’s all documented. Most patients complete their course of treatment in 6 to 12 weeks, though that varies based on severity and goals.

Fall prevention is a major focus for us. With 16% of Laurel Hollow residents over 64, falls aren’t just a risk—they’re one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence. Balance training and proprioceptive exercises help you stay steady and react better when your footing isn’t perfect.
Stroke rehabilitation and neurological conditions require specialized care. If you’ve had a stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis, you need a therapist who understands neuromuscular re-education and functional recovery. Early, aggressive rehab makes a measurable difference in outcomes.
Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation gets you back faster. Whether it’s a knee replacement, hip surgery, or spinal procedure, structured therapy reduces recovery time and helps you regain full function. Injury rehabilitation works the same way—targeted treatment that addresses the specific damage and gets you moving correctly again.
Joint pain treatment, therapeutic exercise, resistance and strength training—these aren’t buzzwords. They’re techniques that reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you avoid more invasive interventions down the road. Physical therapy can lower your overall medical costs by up to 72% by keeping you out of emergency situations and reducing the need for surgery.
We also provide occupational therapy when you need help with daily tasks—dressing, cooking, bathing—things that become difficult after an injury or illness.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy, including in-home services, as long as it’s deemed medically necessary by your doctor. You’ll need a physician’s referral and the therapy must be provided by a Medicare-certified therapist.
We’re Medicare certified. That means we handle the billing, verification, and documentation required by Medicare. You’re responsible for your Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance after that deductible is met.
Most commercial insurance plans also cover physical therapy. We accept nearly all major insurers. Before starting treatment, we verify your coverage so you know exactly what your out-of-pocket costs will be. No surprises.
Most patients notice improvement within 3 to 4 weeks. That doesn’t mean you’re done—it means pain decreases, movement gets easier, and you start feeling more capable. Full recovery depends on what you’re treating.
A simple muscle strain might resolve in 4 to 6 weeks. Post-surgical rehab or stroke recovery can take 8 to 12 weeks or longer. Chronic conditions like arthritis require ongoing management, but you’ll still see functional improvements in the first month.
Here’s what affects your timeline: severity of the condition, your age and overall health, how consistently you do your home exercises, and whether you have any complications. The success rate for physical therapy ranges from 68% to 72%, and 86% of patients report it as helpful. Those are real numbers, not marketing.
The treatment is the same. The location is different. In-home therapy means your physical therapist comes to you—no commute, no waiting room, no navigating parking or building access when you’re already in pain.
For Laurel Hollow residents dealing with mobility limitations, this matters. If you’re recovering from surgery, unsteady on your feet, or simply find it difficult to leave home, in-home care removes a major barrier. Your therapist also sees how you move in your actual environment, which helps them address real-world challenges like stairs, narrow hallways, or bathroom safety.
Clinic-based therapy works well if you’re mobile and prefer the structure of a facility. In-home works better if convenience, comfort, or physical limitations make leaving home difficult. Both are effective. It’s about what fits your situation.
Yes, and the data backs it up. Balance training, gait training, and strength exercises significantly reduce fall risk in older adults. If you’ve already had a fall, your risk of falling again within two years is nearly 46%—but targeted therapy lowers that risk.
Fall prevention therapy focuses on improving your balance, strengthening your legs and core, and training your body to react better when you lose your footing. Proprioceptive exercises help your brain and muscles communicate more effectively, which is critical for stability.
For Laurel Hollow’s aging population, this isn’t optional. Falls lead to fractures, hospitalizations, and loss of independence. A structured fall prevention program addresses the root causes—weak muscles, poor balance, slow reaction time—and gives you practical strategies to stay safe at home.
Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other conditions affecting the nervous system. Neurological rehab focuses on helping you regain function that’s been lost or impaired due to neurological damage.
After a stroke, for example, you might have weakness on one side of your body, difficulty walking, or trouble with coordination. Neuromuscular re-education retrains your brain and muscles to work together. Gait training helps you walk more normally. Therapeutic exercises rebuild strength and endurance.
Early intervention matters. The sooner you start aggressive rehab after a neurological event, the better your outcomes. This isn’t about managing symptoms—it’s about maximizing recovery. Eighteen percent of physical therapy patients are being treated for neurological conditions, and combining physical and occupational therapy improves results even further.
Without insurance, expect to pay between $75 and $150 per session, depending on the complexity of treatment and whether it’s in-home or clinic-based. In-home visits are typically on the higher end due to travel and convenience.
Most treatment plans involve 2 to 3 sessions per week for 6 to 12 weeks. That’s 12 to 36 sessions total. At $100 per session, you’re looking at $1,200 to $3,600 out of pocket. That sounds like a lot until you compare it to the cost of surgery, emergency room visits, or long-term pain management.
If you have insurance, your costs are usually much lower—just your copay or coinsurance after your deductible. We verify coverage before you start so you know exactly what you’ll pay. And if cost is a concern, talk to us. Payment plans and financing options exist. The bigger cost is not getting treated and dealing with worsening pain or mobility loss.
