You shouldn’t have to choose between getting the care you need and dealing with the hassle of getting there. That’s the problem with traditional clinic-based therapy when you’re already dealing with mobility issues, balance concerns, or recovering from surgery.
In-home physical therapy changes that equation completely. Your therapist comes to your home in Saltaire, evaluates you in the environment where you actually live, and builds a treatment plan around your real daily challenges—not generic exercises on clinic equipment.
The results speak for themselves. Fall prevention programs reduce your risk of falling by 30-35%, and that’s not just a statistic—that’s maintaining your independence. Therapeutic exercise and strength training happen in your own space, using your own furniture and layout, so every session directly improves how you navigate your actual life.
You’re not driving anywhere. You’re not waiting in lobbies. You’re getting one-on-one attention from a licensed physical therapist who understands that your goal isn’t just to complete exercises—it’s to keep doing what matters to you.
We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy across Long Island for over a decade. We’re not a new operation trying to figure things out—we’ve built our reputation on showing up, doing the work, and helping people stay in their homes longer.
Saltaire’s population skews older, with over 20% of residents aged 65 and up. That’s not a problem for us—it’s exactly who we’re built to serve. Our therapists are licensed professionals who specialize in the conditions that matter most to this community: balance disorders, neurological rehabilitation, post-surgery recovery, and fall prevention.
We accept Medicare and most commercial insurance, and we handle the paperwork. You don’t need a referral to start, though we work closely with your physician if you have one. Our focus is simple: keep you moving, keep you safe, and keep you independent in your own home.
First, we verify your insurance coverage—usually Medicare, but we work with most plans. No surprises on cost. If you’re covered, we schedule your initial evaluation at a time that works for you.
Your physical therapist comes to your home in Saltaire and conducts a full assessment. They’re looking at your strength, balance, range of motion, and gait. But they’re also looking at your home layout—where the trip hazards are, how you’re getting in and out of chairs, whether your bathroom setup is safe.
From there, we build a treatment plan specific to your goals. Maybe it’s regaining strength after a hip replacement. Maybe it’s improving balance so you feel confident walking to the beach. Maybe it’s reducing joint pain so you can garden again. The plan is yours.
Sessions typically happen 2-3 times per week, right in your home. Your therapist brings any equipment needed and guides you through therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, or neuromuscular re-education depending on what you need. Progress is tracked, and the plan adjusts as you improve.
You’re not locked into anything. If it’s working, great. If it’s not, we talk about it and change course.

We provide both physical therapy and occupational therapy services, depending on what your condition requires. Physical therapy focuses on mobility, strength, balance, and pain management. Occupational therapy focuses on daily activities—dressing, bathing, cooking—and making sure you can do them safely and independently.
Treatment options include fall prevention and balance training, which is critical for Saltaire’s aging population. One-third of adults over 65 fall each year, and the consequences can be severe. We address that head-on with proprioceptive training, gait training, and strength work that directly reduces your fall risk.
If you’re recovering from a stroke, dealing with Parkinson’s, or managing another neurological condition, we offer specialized neurological rehabilitation. That includes neuromuscular re-education to retrain your body’s movement patterns and coordination. For joint pain—whether it’s arthritis, an old injury, or post-surgical recovery—we use therapeutic exercise and resistance training to reduce pain and restore function.
Every session is one-on-one. You’re not splitting your therapist’s attention with other patients. The focus is entirely on you, your progress, and your goals. And because we’re in your home, we can address the real-world challenges you face every day, not just what happens in a clinic.
No, you don’t need a referral to start physical therapy in New York. You can contact us directly and schedule an evaluation.
That said, many people do come to us through their physician, especially if they’re recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition. If you have a doctor who’s involved in your care, we’re happy to coordinate with them and keep them updated on your progress.
If you’re using Medicare, the referral requirement depends on your specific plan, but in most cases, it’s not necessary. We verify your coverage upfront and let you know exactly what’s required before your first session. The goal is to make this as simple as possible—you shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get care.
If you have Medicare Part B, outpatient physical therapy is typically covered. You’ll pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you’ve met your deductible. For most people, that’s manageable, and we can give you a clear cost estimate before you start.
We accept Medicare and nearly all commercial insurance plans. During your first call, we verify your coverage and explain what your out-of-pocket costs will look like. No guessing, no hidden fees.
One thing worth knowing: studies show that physical therapy can reduce overall treatment costs by up to 70% compared to other interventions, especially when it helps you avoid more invasive procedures or long-term medication use. So while there’s a cost to therapy, it often saves you money in the long run by addressing the root problem instead of just managing symptoms.
We treat a wide range of conditions, but our focus is on what affects Saltaire’s population most: balance disorders, fall risk, joint pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, and neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s.
If you’re recovering from a hip or knee replacement, we guide you through the entire rehab process at home. If you’ve had a stroke and need to regain mobility and coordination, we provide neurological rehabilitation and neuromuscular re-education. If you’re dealing with arthritis or chronic joint pain, we use therapeutic exercise and strength training to reduce pain and improve function.
We also work with people who haven’t had a specific injury or surgery but are noticing that movement is getting harder—maybe balance feels off, or stairs are becoming a challenge. That’s often a sign that targeted physical therapy can make a real difference before a bigger problem develops. The earlier you address these issues, the better your outcomes.
The biggest difference is context. In a clinic, you’re doing exercises on equipment in a controlled environment. At home, you’re working in the space where you actually live—navigating your own stairs, getting in and out of your own chairs, moving through your own bathroom.
That matters because the goal isn’t just to get stronger in a clinic. It’s to be safer and more functional in your daily life. When your therapist sees your home setup, they can identify fall risks you might not notice and teach you how to move more safely in your specific environment.
There’s also the convenience factor. If you have trouble driving, if transportation is a barrier, or if you simply don’t want to spend your time sitting in waiting rooms, in-home therapy removes all of that. You get one-on-one attention without the logistics. For many people in Saltaire, especially those with mobility limitations, that’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s what makes therapy possible in the first place.
It depends entirely on your condition and goals. Some people see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks. Others need a few months, especially if they’re recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition.
During your initial evaluation, your therapist will give you a realistic timeline based on what they’re seeing and what you’re trying to achieve. That timeline can shift as you progress—sometimes people improve faster than expected, sometimes we need to adjust the approach.
Sessions typically happen 2-3 times per week. As you get stronger and more confident, the frequency often decreases. The goal is always to get you to a point where you can maintain your progress independently, not to keep you in therapy indefinitely. We’re not interested in dragging things out—we’re interested in getting you results and then getting out of your way.
Absolutely, and that’s actually the best time to address it. Waiting until after a fall means you’re already dealing with an injury, recovery time, and the fear that comes with it. Preventing the fall in the first place is a much better strategy.
Fall prevention programs focus on improving your balance, strengthening the muscles that keep you stable, and training your body to react quickly if you start to lose your footing. We also assess your home for environmental risks—loose rugs, poor lighting, tricky transitions between rooms—and give you practical recommendations to make your space safer.
The statistics are clear: structured fall prevention can reduce your risk by 30-35%. For older adults in Saltaire, where a significant portion of the population is over 65, that’s not a minor issue—it’s one of the most important things you can do to maintain your independence. If you’re noticing that your balance isn’t what it used to be, or if you’ve had a few close calls, that’s your signal to take action before it becomes a bigger problem.
