You’re moving more confidently. Getting up from a chair doesn’t require a strategy session. Walking to the mailbox or through the grocery store feels stable again, not risky.
That’s what happens when a licensed physical therapist brings the clinic to your living room. You get one-on-one attention in the place where you actually live—which means your therapist sees the real obstacles you face every day. The step into your bathroom. The carpet that catches your foot. The chair that’s too low.
In-home physical therapy isn’t just convenient. It’s more effective because it’s personalized to your actual environment. You’re not relearning balance on gym equipment you’ll never use again. You’re training your body to handle your kitchen, your bedroom, your front steps. And because you’re working with a physical therapist who understands fall prevention, gait training, and therapeutic exercise, you’re building strength that actually reduces your risk—not just checking boxes.
Most patients start noticing improvements within four to six weeks. Better balance. Less joint pain. More confidence doing the things they used to avoid.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy across Long Island since 2010. That includes Old Bethpage and the surrounding Nassau County communities where transportation can be a real barrier to getting care.
We’re Medicare-certified, which means your therapy is covered under the same benefits you’ve been paying into for years. Our physical therapists bring professional equipment—portable bikes, resistance bands, balance boards, ultrasound units—so you’re getting the same quality treatment you’d receive in a clinic, just without the stress of getting there.
Old Bethpage has a significant senior population, and many of the people we work with are managing recovery from surgery, dealing with chronic joint pain, or trying to stay independent after a stroke or neurological diagnosis. We get it. You want to stay in your home. You want to feel safe. And you don’t want to be a burden on your family every time you need to go somewhere.
First, we confirm your Medicare coverage and schedule an initial evaluation at your home. A licensed physical therapist comes to you—no need to arrange rides or worry about mobility.
During that first visit, your therapist assesses your strength, balance, range of motion, and any pain or limitations you’re dealing with. They also walk through your home to spot fall risks. Maybe it’s loose rugs, poor lighting, or furniture placement. These details matter because fall prevention starts with understanding your environment.
From there, your therapist builds a personalized treatment plan. If you’re recovering from surgery, that might mean pre and post surgery rehabilitation focused on regaining mobility and strength. If you’ve had a stroke, it’s stroke rehabilitation and neuromuscular re-education to retrain your movement patterns. If balance is the issue, you’ll work on proprioceptive training and gait training to improve stability.
Sessions typically happen two to three times per week, depending on your needs and what Medicare approves. Your therapist brings the equipment, guides you through exercises, and adjusts your plan as you improve. You’re not doing this alone, and you’re not guessing what works.
Most people see meaningful progress within two to three months. That’s faster than trying to recover on your own, and it’s safer than skipping therapy altogether because getting to a clinic feels impossible.
Ready to get started?
You get a licensed physical therapist who specializes in treating older adults and people with mobility challenges. That includes fall prevention strategies, balance and gait training, therapeutic exercise, resistance and strength training, and joint pain treatment.
If you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, your therapist will focus on injury rehabilitation and helping you regain function safely. If you’ve experienced a stroke or have a condition like Parkinson’s, we provide neurological rehabilitation designed to improve coordination, movement, and independence.
For Old Bethpage residents, in-home therapy also means your treatment fits into your life. You’re not rearranging your whole day or relying on family members to drive you across town. Your therapist works around your schedule, and because they’re treating you at home, they can make recommendations that actually apply to your daily routine.
Medicare covers 80% of approved costs for outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary. That means if your doctor orders it and you qualify, you’re not paying out of pocket for most of your care. We handle the paperwork and verification so you can focus on getting better.
This isn’t about doing a few stretches and calling it progress. It’s about rebuilding strength, preventing falls, and giving you back the confidence to move through your own home without fear.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. That includes in-home therapy if you have difficulty leaving your home due to mobility issues, recent surgery, or other health conditions.
Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved cost after you meet your deductible. The remaining 20% is your responsibility unless you have supplemental insurance that covers it. There are annual caps on therapy services, but many patients stay well within those limits, especially when working with a therapist who manages your care efficiently.
To qualify, your doctor needs to document that therapy is necessary for your recovery or to prevent further decline. We’re Medicare-certified, which means we handle the verification and billing process directly. You don’t need to chase down paperwork or worry about whether your sessions will be covered—we confirm that upfront.
Falls are the leading cause of injury in adults over 65, and physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to reduce that risk. Research shows that structured therapy programs can decrease fall incidents by up to 37% in seniors.
Your physical therapist will assess your balance, gait, and strength during the first visit. From there, they design exercises that target the specific weaknesses or instabilities that put you at risk. That might include proprioceptive training to improve your body’s sense of position, gait training to correct how you walk, or resistance exercises to strengthen your legs and core.
But here’s what makes in-home therapy especially effective for fall prevention: your therapist sees your actual living space. They can identify hazards like loose rugs, poor lighting, uneven thresholds, or furniture that’s hard to navigate around. They’ll recommend changes and help you practice moving safely through the areas where you’re most likely to fall. You’re not just getting stronger in theory—you’re training your body to handle the real-world challenges in your own home.
We treat a wide range of conditions that affect mobility, strength, and independence. That includes post-surgical recovery, whether you’ve had a joint replacement, spinal surgery, or another procedure that requires rehabilitation.
We also specialize in neurological rehabilitation for patients who’ve experienced a stroke, have Parkinson’s disease, or are managing other neurological conditions that affect movement and coordination. Stroke rehabilitation focuses on retraining your brain and body to work together again, often through neuromuscular re-education and repetitive task practice.
For chronic issues, we treat joint pain from arthritis or overuse injuries, balance disorders, and general weakness that comes with aging or inactivity. If you’re dealing with an acute injury—like a fall, fracture, or sprain—we provide injury rehabilitation to help you regain function and prevent future problems. And if you’re preparing for surgery or trying to recover afterward, our pre and post surgery rehabilitation programs are designed to get you moving safely and effectively.
Most patients start noticing improvements within four to six weeks of consistent therapy. That might mean less pain, better balance, or more confidence moving around your home. Maximum benefits typically show up after eight to twelve weeks, depending on your condition and how closely you follow your treatment plan.
Recovery timelines vary. If you’re rehabbing from surgery, you might see faster progress in the first few weeks as swelling goes down and your range of motion improves. If you’re working on balance or strength after years of inactivity, it takes a bit longer to rebuild that foundation.
What matters most is consistency. Therapy works when you show up for your sessions and do the exercises your therapist assigns between visits. Skipping sessions or only doing the work when someone’s watching will slow your progress. But if you’re committed, the results are real. You’ll move better, feel stronger, and reduce your risk of falling or reinjuring yourself. That’s not a marketing line—it’s what happens when you put in the work with a licensed physical therapist guiding you.
Your physical therapist brings most of the same tools used in outpatient clinics. That includes portable exercise bikes, steppers, resistance bands, weights, balance boards, and therapy balls. If your treatment plan calls for it, we also bring electric stimulation units and portable ultrasound devices for pain management and tissue healing.
You don’t need to buy anything or set up a home gym. We bring what’s necessary for your specific treatment plan, and we adjust based on what you have available at home. Sometimes that means using your stairs for step training, your kitchen counter for balance support, or your own furniture to practice sit-to-stand exercises.
The goal is to make therapy practical. You’re not learning exercises on equipment you’ll never see again. You’re building strength and coordination using movements and tools that translate directly to your daily life. That’s why in-home therapy often leads to faster, more functional recovery—you’re training in the environment where you actually need to perform.
Start by talking to your doctor. If they agree that physical therapy is medically necessary, they’ll write an order. That’s required for Medicare coverage and for us to begin treatment.
Once you have the order, contact us. We’ll verify your Medicare coverage, confirm your eligibility, and schedule your initial evaluation at a time that works for you. No need to come to an office—we come to your home in Old Bethpage.
During that first visit, your physical therapist will assess your condition, talk through your goals, and build a personalized treatment plan. From there, you’ll typically have sessions two to three times per week, depending on what your doctor ordered and what Medicare approves. The whole process is designed to be as simple as possible so you can focus on getting better, not managing logistics.
