You stop worrying about falling every time you stand up. That’s what most people notice first—the fear starts to fade because your balance improves, your legs feel steadier, and you’re not second-guessing every step.
If you’ve had surgery, you’re not stuck wondering if you’re doing too much or too little. You’ll know exactly what movements help and which ones set you back. Your physical therapist walks you through therapeutic exercise and strength training that’s based on where your body is today, not some generic protocol.
Joint pain doesn’t have to be something you just live with. Targeted treatment—whether it’s manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, or gait training—gives you real relief without relying on medications that only mask the problem. You start moving better, sleeping better, and getting back to the things you’ve been avoiding.
We bring physical therapy directly to your home in Sagaponack, NY. No waiting rooms, no driving when you’re already in pain, no rushing through your session because the next patient is waiting.
We’ve been serving Long Island communities for years, with affiliated locations in Smithtown and Speonk. Our therapists are licensed, experienced, and trained in everything from stroke rehabilitation to post-surgery recovery to fall prevention programs that actually work.
Sagaponack is a small community, and that matters. You’re not a number here. You get the same therapist each visit, someone who knows your goals, your limitations, and what’s realistic for your recovery timeline.
First visit is an assessment. Your physical therapist evaluates your mobility, strength, balance, and any pain or limitations you’re dealing with. They’ll ask about your medical history, what you’re hoping to get back to, and what’s been holding you back.
From there, you get a treatment plan that’s specific to your situation. If you’re recovering from a fall, the focus might be on balance training and proprioceptive exercises that retrain your body’s sense of position and movement. If it’s post-surgery rehab, you’ll work through controlled resistance and strength training to rebuild what was lost.
Sessions happen in your home, usually two to three times a week depending on your needs. Your therapist brings the equipment, guides you through each exercise, and adjusts the plan as you improve. You’re not left guessing what to do between visits—you’ll have clear instructions and realistic expectations for your recovery timeline.
Ready to get started?
You get one-on-one time with a licensed physical therapist who specializes in the type of care you need—whether that’s neurological rehabilitation after a stroke, occupational therapy to regain daily function, or injury rehabilitation following an accident or surgery.
Every session includes hands-on treatment. That could mean manual therapy to reduce pain and improve joint mobility, gait training to correct walking patterns that lead to falls, or therapeutic exercise tailored to your current ability level. You’re never pushed beyond what’s safe, but you’re also not babied through recovery.
In Sagaponack, where the population skews older and more than a third of adults over 65 experience falls each year, fall prevention is a major focus. Balance training combined with strength work has been shown to reduce fall risk by up to 86% when started within three months of a diagnosis or incident. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a significant improvement over doing nothing.
You also get education. Your therapist explains why certain movements help, what warning signs to watch for, and how to modify activities at home so you’re not undoing progress between sessions.
Most people notice some improvement within two to three weeks, but that depends entirely on what you’re treating and how consistent you are with the program. If you’re working on balance and fall prevention, you might feel steadier after just a few sessions. If you’re recovering from surgery or a stroke, it’s going to take longer—sometimes several months.
The research backs this up. Studies show that balance training and strength work can reduce fall risk significantly when done regularly over a 12-week period. But here’s the thing: you have to actually do the exercises, not just show up for appointments.
Your therapist will give you a realistic timeline during your first visit. If someone promises you’ll be back to normal in a week, they’re either lying or they don’t understand your condition. Recovery takes time, and it’s not always linear—some weeks you’ll feel great, others you’ll feel like you’re going backwards. That’s normal.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover in-home physical therapy if it’s deemed medically necessary. That usually means your doctor has prescribed it, and you have a condition that makes it difficult or unsafe for you to travel to an outpatient clinic.
We work with most major insurance providers, and we’ll verify your coverage before your first session so there are no surprises. If you have a copay or deductible, we’ll let you know upfront what you’re responsible for.
If you don’t have insurance or your plan doesn’t cover home visits, we can discuss private pay options. The cost varies depending on the type and frequency of treatment, but it’s often comparable to what you’d pay out-of-pocket at a clinic—and you’re saving time and transportation costs by having the therapist come to you.
Physical therapy focuses on movement—improving your strength, balance, mobility, and reducing pain. If you’re struggling to walk, climb stairs, or move without discomfort, that’s where a physical therapist comes in. The goal is to get your body functioning better so you can do the activities you need or want to do.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily tasks—getting dressed, cooking, bathing, managing household activities. If you’ve had a stroke or injury that’s affecting your ability to care for yourself, an occupational therapist helps you relearn or adapt those skills.
There’s overlap, and sometimes you need both. For example, if you’ve had a stroke, you might work with a physical therapist on gait training and balance, and an occupational therapist on regaining hand function and coordination for eating or writing. We offer both services, and your therapist will recommend what makes sense for your situation.
It’s not overstated. The data is pretty clear: regular balance and strength training can lower your fall risk by up to 86% if you start within three months of a fall or diagnosis. That’s from actual research, not marketing claims.
Here’s why it works. Most falls happen because of weak legs, poor balance, or gait problems that throw off your center of gravity. Physical therapy addresses all three. You do exercises that challenge your balance in a controlled way, forcing your body to react and adjust. You build strength in the muscles that stabilize your hips, knees, and ankles. And you work on walking patterns that reduce your risk of tripping or losing your footing.
It’s not a magic fix—you still need to be careful, especially if you’re on medications that cause dizziness or if your home has hazards like loose rugs or poor lighting. But if you’re consistent with the exercises and follow through with what your therapist recommends, the improvement is real. More than 86% of people who’ve done physical therapy report it as helpful, and a big part of that is feeling more confident and less afraid of falling.
Your first session is mostly assessment and conversation. Your physical therapist will ask about your medical history, current symptoms, what activities are difficult, and what you’re hoping to achieve. They’ll also do a physical evaluation—checking your range of motion, strength, balance, and how you move.
If you’re recovering from surgery, they’ll want to know what procedure you had, when it was done, and what your surgeon’s restrictions are. If you’ve had a fall, they’ll ask about the circumstances and whether you’ve noticed any changes in your balance or strength since then.
You might do some light exercises during that first visit, but it’s not going to be a full workout. The goal is to understand where you’re starting from so your therapist can build a plan that’s appropriate for your current condition. Pushing too hard too soon just leads to setbacks.
The session usually takes about an hour, and by the end, you’ll have a clear picture of what the next few weeks or months will look like. Your therapist will explain what you’ll be working on, how often you’ll meet, and what you can do on your own between sessions.
Yes, and in some cases it’s actually better. The treatment itself is the same—you’re getting the same exercises, the same hands-on techniques, the same expertise. The difference is the setting.
For older adults or anyone with mobility issues, getting to a clinic can be a barrier. You have to arrange transportation, navigate parking, sit in a waiting room, and then do it all over again two or three times a week. That’s exhausting, and it’s one of the main reasons people skip appointments or stop going altogether.
In-home therapy eliminates that. Your therapist comes to you, works with you in your own environment, and can even identify hazards in your home that might be contributing to falls or injuries. You’re more relaxed, you’re not rushing, and you’re more likely to stick with the program because it’s convenient.
The outcomes speak for themselves. Studies show that adherence rates are higher with in-home therapy, and adherence is the biggest predictor of success. If you’re actually doing the work, you’re going to see results—whether that’s in a clinic or your living room.
