You shouldn’t have to choose between quality care and convenience. When you’re dealing with pain, limited mobility, or recovering from surgery, the last thing you need is another appointment across town that drains your energy before therapy even starts.
In-home physical therapy means your treatment happens where you’re most comfortable. No waiting rooms. No wasted trips. Just focused, one-on-one care that fits into your day instead of taking it over.
Whether you’re managing chronic joint pain, rebuilding strength after a fall, or working through post-surgery rehabilitation, you get personalized treatment plans built around what you actually need to do—not generic exercises that ignore your goals. You’ll work with a licensed physical therapist who understands that getting back to your routine, your hobbies, and your independence matters more than checking boxes on a chart.
Most of our patients in Munsey Park are busy professionals or active retirees who value their time and expect results. They don’t want to sit in traffic or navigate parking lots when they’re already hurting. They want therapy that works around their lives, not the other way around.
We’ve been serving Long Island since 2010, with affiliated locations like Physical Therapy Associates of Smithtown and Speonk Physical Therapy bringing decades of combined experience. We’re not a corporate chain. We’re local therapists who live and work in Nassau County and understand what matters to people here.
Munsey Park residents expect premium service, and that’s exactly what we deliver—without the premium attitude. You get licensed professionals who are members of the American Physical Therapy Association, accept Medicare and most commercial insurance, and treat you like a person, not a case number.
We handle the insurance paperwork, verify coverage before your first session, and make sure you understand what’s covered. No surprises. No runaround. Just straightforward care from people who’ve been doing this long enough to know what actually works.
Your first appointment starts with a thorough evaluation. Your physical therapist will assess your current mobility, strength, balance, and any pain or limitations you’re experiencing. They’ll ask about your goals—whether that’s walking without assistance, returning to golf, or just getting through your day without discomfort.
From there, you’ll get a personalized treatment plan. This isn’t a cookie-cutter program. It’s built around your specific condition, your home environment, and what you’re actually trying to accomplish. If you need gait training to walk more confidently, that’s what you’ll focus on. If balance and proprioceptive training will reduce your fall risk, that becomes the priority.
Each session typically lasts 45-60 minutes. Your therapist brings any necessary equipment and guides you through therapeutic exercises, resistance and strength training, or neuromuscular re-education techniques designed to restore function. You’ll see measurable progress tracked over time, with adjustments made as you improve.
Between sessions, you’ll have clear instructions for exercises you can do on your own. Your therapist stays in communication with your physician and any other healthcare providers involved in your care, so everyone’s on the same page about your recovery.

We treat a wide range of conditions, but our most common services in Munsey Park include fall prevention therapy, post-surgery rehabilitation (especially joint replacements), stroke rehabilitation, and chronic joint pain management. These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the actual reasons people call us.
Fall prevention is critical for older adults in Nassau County. We use advanced balance training and gait analysis to identify why you’re unsteady and address the root cause—whether that’s vestibular issues, muscle weakness, or proprioceptive deficits. The goal is keeping you independent and safe in your own home.
Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation gives you the best shot at a full recovery. If you’re scheduled for a knee or hip replacement, starting therapy before surgery can improve your outcomes. After surgery, we’ll help you regain strength, range of motion, and function faster than you would on your own.
For neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s, or neuropathy, we focus on neuromuscular re-education and functional movement patterns. Recovery takes time, but targeted therapy makes a measurable difference in what you can do day-to-day.
Injury rehabilitation—whether from a sports injury, car accident, or workplace incident—gets you back to normal as quickly and safely as possible. We also provide occupational therapy services when your recovery involves relearning daily tasks or adapting to new limitations.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy services, including in-home visits, as long as the therapy is medically necessary and ordered by your physician. You’ll typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you’ve met your deductible.
For Medicare to cover in-home therapy, you need to be under a doctor’s care and have a condition that requires skilled physical therapy—not just general exercise or maintenance. Common covered conditions include recovery from surgery, stroke rehabilitation, fall risk reduction, and injury rehabilitation.
We handle the Medicare paperwork and verify your coverage before your first appointment. Most of our Munsey Park patients also have supplemental insurance that covers the 20% copay, so your out-of-pocket cost is often minimal or zero. If you’re unsure about your specific coverage, we’ll walk you through it during your initial call.
The biggest difference is convenience and personalization. You’re not sharing your therapist’s attention with two or three other patients at the same time. You get a full session focused entirely on you, in an environment where you’re comfortable and don’t have to waste energy traveling.
In-home therapy also allows your therapist to see how you actually move in your own space. If you’re struggling with stairs, balance in your bathroom, or getting in and out of your car, your therapist can address those specific challenges in the moment. That’s harder to replicate in a clinic setting.
For people in Munsey Park with busy schedules or mobility limitations, in-home therapy eliminates a major barrier. You’re not canceling appointments because you can’t find a ride or because the trip itself is too painful. Your therapist comes to you, and your energy goes toward healing instead of logistics.
We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical conditions. The most common reasons people in Munsey Park call us are joint pain (especially knees, hips, and shoulders), recovery from joint replacement surgery, balance problems and fall risk, stroke rehabilitation, and general mobility decline related to aging.
We also work with patients recovering from fractures, sprains, and other injuries, as well as those managing chronic conditions like arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or peripheral neuropathy. If you’ve had a recent hospitalization and need continued rehab at home, we handle that too.
Basically, if your doctor has recommended physical therapy and you’d rather do it at home, we can probably help. During your initial evaluation, we’ll assess whether in-home therapy is the right fit for your specific situation. If it’s not, we’ll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
It depends on what you’re treating and how severe the condition is. Some patients notice improvement within a few sessions—less pain, better mobility, more confidence moving around. Others, especially those recovering from surgery or stroke, may need several weeks or months of consistent therapy to reach their goals.
Most treatment plans involve two to three sessions per week initially, then taper down as you improve. Your therapist will give you a realistic timeline during your evaluation based on your specific condition and goals. Progress isn’t always linear—some weeks you’ll feel great, others you might plateau—but consistent effort pays off.
The key is sticking with it and doing your home exercises between sessions. Physical therapy isn’t a passive treatment. The more engaged you are in your recovery, the faster you’ll see results. Your therapist will adjust your plan as you improve, so you’re always working toward the next milestone.
In New York, you can see a physical therapist without a referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. After that, you’ll need a prescription from your physician to continue treatment. However, if you’re using Medicare or most insurance plans, they typically require a doctor’s order from the start.
We recommend getting a referral before your first session anyway. It ensures your therapy is covered by insurance and allows your therapist to coordinate with your doctor about your treatment plan. If you don’t have a referral yet, we can walk you through the process and even contact your doctor’s office to request one.
Most primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and neurologists are familiar with ordering physical therapy and can get you a referral quickly. If you’re recovering from surgery, your surgeon will usually provide the prescription automatically as part of your post-op care.
Your first session is mostly evaluation. Your therapist will review your medical history, ask about your symptoms and goals, and perform a physical assessment to see how you move, where you’re limited, and what’s causing pain or dysfunction. This usually takes 45-60 minutes.
You’ll also discuss your home environment—whether you have stairs, what kind of furniture setup you have, and any specific activities you’re struggling with. This helps your therapist design a treatment plan that’s practical for your daily life, not just theoretical exercises that don’t translate to real-world function.
By the end of the first visit, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s going on, what the treatment plan looks like, and how long recovery is likely to take. You’ll probably do some light exercises or manual therapy during that first session too, so wear comfortable clothing you can move in. After that, each follow-up session builds on the previous one as you work toward your goals.
