One physical therapist — me, Ariel Osharenko, PT — comes to your home anywhere in NYC for a full 90-minute session. Same in-network copay as the clinic. Same therapist every visit. Call or text (347) 871-6814.

Why patients book in-home PT in NYC

  • No fake one-on-one. When I walk in your door, it’s just you and me for 90 minutes. No aide running you through bands while the licensed PT watches three other people.
  • No commute on crutches. The first weeks after surgery or a flare-up are when commuting hurts most.
  • You practice your home program in the room you actually live in. Adherence goes up.

How a 90-minute in-home session works

First visit: history, screening, hands-on assessment, working diagnosis, the first treatment, and a written home program. About 90 minutes. Follow-ups are also 90 minutes — manual therapy, neuromuscular work, loaded strength training, modalities (BFR, dry needling, NMES), reassessment, home program updates.

You text me to schedule. I show up. Wear clothes you can move in. Have roughly a 6×8 ft clear floor area.

Who in-home PT is right for — and who it isn’t

Right for you if: you want continuity (same PT, by name); you value 90 minutes of hands-on time; you’re early after surgery or commuting hurts; you’re an athlete or lifter who wants rehab + S&C from one person; you’re billing UHC, Aetna, or BCBS.

NOT the right fit if: you need aquatic therapy, AlterG, isokinetic dyno, shockwave or laser; your only insurance is Medicaid; you don’t have ~6×8 ft of clear floor space; you need 24/7 app booking with weekend visits.

FAQ

Does insurance cover in-home physical therapy in NYC? Yes for in-network providers. I’m in-network with UHC, Aetna, and BCBS — same copay at clinic or home, no house-call surcharge. Superbill for other plans.

Can a physical therapist legally come to my house in New York? Yes. NY State Direct Access law lets any patient see a licensed PT without a referral for the first 10 visits or 30 days.

How long is an in-home session? 90 minutes, one-on-one with me — every session. No aides, no shared time.

How much space do I need? Roughly 6 by 8 feet of clear floor area. A living room corner or cleared bedroom works.
