FAQs

Can a personal trainer help with injury rehabilitation?

Yes. A rehab personal trainer can support injury recovery using a personalized plan, safe exercise progressions, and focus on mobility and range of motion—especially for returning to normal activities.

Is it safe to work out post-injury or after surgery (including ACL rehab)?

It can be safe with expert guidance and medical clearance. Your training plan should take into account your medical history, current physical condition, and recommendations from your doctor or physical therapist.

I’ve already been training—can personalized training programs still help?

Yes. Personalized training programs can help refine your workout, build endurance, improve mobility, and support your fitness journey with ongoing support.

Should I start with physical therapy or a rehab personal trainer?

If you have pain, limited mobility, or severe injuries, start with physical therapy. After that, a personal trainer can guide post-rehabilitation training to rebuild strength and mobility and improve overall fitness.

What happens in the first training sessions?

Your personal trainer will review your goals, assess your movement, and build a workout plan that matches your fitness level and unique needs—often including functional, strength, and mobility work.

We LOVE our SLP Tayler E, we also LOVE our OT's Lindsey B and Lauren S. Shoutout to the amazing front desk ladies as well. Jenna we are thankful for your clinic!! 100/10 recommend ABC on Anderson Ferry!! We have been attending for about 13 months now and I love the treatment my child has received. She has come such a long way and this wouldn't be possible without their support and guidance. They are so patient, attentive, kind and willing to answer any and all questions and concerns. My child looks forward to every visit! As do I knowing how well she's cared for.

My first visit at IvyRehab was very informative, helpful and my therapist was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain my diagnosis! Awesome tips to help address my concerns and pain management. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you!!

If you need P/T due to breast cancer (lymphedema, radiation issues, etc), Denise Johnson is fabulous. She is highly regarded and many of the oncologists, surgeons, etc recommend her.

Response from the owner:That's wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Fishers!

All of the therapists are great, and their receptionist is friendly. I've been here for three or four issues now, and I've been very happy with the care I've gotten.They adjust my exercises and treatment depending on how I feel each time I visit. The next time I have an issue (and at my age, there always seems to be a next time!), I would choose them again.

Response from the owner:We value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Comstock Park

Excellent. All the time they put into my physical therapy and I responded and worked just as hard and accomplished my goals. They make it fun. Always at the end of the session my body feeling good.

Response from the owner:Your kind review made our day, thank you so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Norfolk – Granby

Between our two kiddos we all LOVE Sarah, Emily, Anna and Ellen!! So kind, SO sweet, and have helped them hit their goals! We all could not be happier.

Response from the owner:Our Maple Grove team is so awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Jenna and Jeff have an incredible team dynamic. You essentially get the attention of two therapists during your sessions. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and honestly just make Therapy fun! Thanks for making me feel better!

Sabrina is so wonderful with my daughter. All I felt was hopelessness because of my situation but she was able to help us with her feeding session more than my pediatrician.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab for Kids, North Wales!

I have had nothing but a great experience with Back in Action pt. The staff is always so kind and ensures i’m getting better. Julie at the front desk always has a smile on her face and makes my day better!

When you go to a physical therapist after shoulder surgery, you don't anticipate that your PT will be the best part of your day! Jeff at Excel spends as much time with you as you need! He's not limited to 5 minutes for insurance purposes. He and Kelly, the other PT, provide empathetic care coupled with intelligence and expertise! There is always a positive energy coming from all of the staff, from the receptionist to the assistants to the physical therapists themselves. It feels more like a family, providing all of the support I could ever need. I highly recommend Excel of Oakland, as they hit every mark of excellence!

Everyone at Ivy Rehab was awesome! Olivia and Matt were fantastic to work with, and Amanda was always so helpful at the front desk. I feel so much better than when I first started, and I was even given workouts to do at home to keep me motivated in my recovery. If I ever need PT again, I would definitely return.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Ivy Rehab Fishers. I’ve worked with both Rachel and Kevin and have nothing but good things to say. The environment is very clean, professional, and welcoming. I’d recommend this place to anybody seeking physical therapy. Thank you!

I was seeing Kaj for one issue, then threw my back out unexpectedly. It was so painful and I was having a lot of trouble sleeping. After 2 visits with Kaj, I was 85% better! Highly recommend Ivy Rehab and Kaj!

Response from the owner:It's always wonderful to hear such kind feedback , we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Cary

We LOVE this location, Lauren has been with my boys for about 3 years now and the boys absolutely love her and love coming to therapy! I recommend her to anyone that mentions they have a speech evaluation for their kiddo ! Everyone at this location is absolutely amazing and they make you feel like family so much so the boys call this their other house !!

A year ago I had my physical therapy at Ivy Rehab, at the North Arlington location. Everyone was super friendly, and helpful during my physical journey to recovery. I loved how much they all cared. They’re very experienced and professional. Paige and her team are wonderful and, I’m glad to have met you all. The facility is very clean and safe. I would definitely recommend you and your team to anyone who needed physical therapy. Thanks again for all you’ve done for me!

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, North Arlington

An excellent staff. Every therapist is excellent. They work with one another so it doesn't matter which therapist you are assigned to if your main therapist is not available. I definitely recommend Ivy Rehab if you want to get your body parts working and your strength back.

In March of 2018 I was diagnosed with male breast cancer that has been certified as 9-11 related. On April 17th 2018 I had a double mastectomy to remove the cancerous tumors from my chest. My arms and chest were totally immobile and swollen. As the swelling subsided I desperately wanted to get my range of motion back. I am a triathlete and an avid golfer and bowler. Thinking that I was never going to be able to perform those sports like I did before my surgery was depressing and always in the back of my mind. But instead of waiting around to see how it all turned out I decided to take action. I sought the help of Excel Physical Therapy. They have a great reputation and a local office in my town of Oakland. I met with Jeff Ziegler whom I knew from the Triathlon world in the area. I chose him because he being an athlete understood my concerns. After working with Jeff for about 6 weeks I was able to attend my annual golf trip and play multiple rounds pain free. Not only that but I’m now training for a triathlon and bowling twice a week in my bowling leagues. I even bowled a perfect game in November. Something I thought would never happen again. I can’t thank Jeff and Excel enough for getting me back to my pre surgery days. They truly understand the athlete in every one of us.

My experience at Ivy rehab was excellent! I went from a wheelchair to a walker and now I am able to use a cane.John and his staff of skilled therapists were welcoming and supportive.I worked primarily with Joe who helped me improve my range of motion on my left ankle after 3 surgeries. I highly recommend this office Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Angelica Bicomong was AMAZING! I had a lower back injury after a car accident and some nerve damage in my hand/radial nerve. She was kind, thorough, and effective. I was shocked at how much I healed over my time at Ivy Rehab. Thank you, Angelica!
