How does BioSway work?

The Biodex BioSway system challenges patients to shift and control their center of gravity through interactive balance games and rehabilitative training strategies.

To use the BioSway to enhance postural stability, you stand on a small, lightweight instrumented platform, facing a touchscreen. Through sensory integration, various interactive training modes, and balance games, your body will retrain itself to walk properly, improve balance, and reduce your risk of falling.

BioSway physical therapy can benefit patients with:

A high risk of falling
Vestibular diagnoses
Post-trauma
Ligament sprains
Impaired neuromuscular control
Parkinson’s
Stroke
Post-concussion recovery
Lower extremity post-surgical recovery
And more

This type of therapy helps patients rebuild confidence, improve stability, and move more safely in their daily lives.

I have been having a truly liberating experience. I can do movements I haven't been able to do in years. My Therapist, Cosimo has been so clinically and mentally effective at getting me back on the road I should be on with my overall physical and mental health. I nicknamed him "The Comeback King". He manages to get his clients back to where they need to be. All of the Staff at Hackensack is attentive and knowledgeable in their craft. A Great place to come Heal, rejuvenate and keep motivated on getting better. Excel Hackensack ROCKS!!!

I have had all three PT very qualified therapists work with me over the last several months. They continue to push, reinforce, and challenge me to get better through their guidance. Haley has been my “regular” and I appreciate her knowledge, positivity, and willingness to help me heal.

First speech visit went great, got a really good vibe when I first met the speech therapist, so welcoming and patient, I’m hoping for an opening for ABA! I’ve heard so many great things about ivy rehab!

Excellent check-in process, very pro environment and Brian was very detailed and comprehensive in his diagnosis and guiding me through understanding my mobility and range of motion challenges.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy – Hackensack – University Plaza

Nice relaxed friendly atmosphere. Came for OT with Leslie, who is great, for my finger therapy. She's so patient and understanding, and was helping me out with my painful shoulder issues before I officially started getting PT for my frozen shoulder. Matt has been getting me through PT, so calm and patient, putting up with my moans and groans as he works my shoulder, just so I can actually lift it above my head! Thank you guys for what you do! There's an Ivy Rehab in my neighborhood, but I lucked out coming here, really happy I found this place.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic rating, we're so grateful! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Brooklyn – Fort Greene

My daughter has been working with her speech therapist, Stephanie, for the past two years. She loves seeing Miss. Stephanie throughout the week. When she started her therapy she could only say four words, now she has a large vocabulary and has been improving her articulation and intelligibility with her speech. She’s made so much improvement and loves Miss. Stephanie.

Ivy Rehab did wonders for my quality of life, and for someone who has mostly negative experiences with healthcare, it was refreshing to have people believe that my pain was real and could be treated. I have long-existing spinal problem exacerbated by desk work. It severely impacted my sleep and limited my physical activity for the last decade. Since, for the first time, I had insurance that would even begin to cover a non-injury specific issues, I went 2-3 times a week for two months and did the work outside of appts. It certainly wasn't easy or inexpensive, even with insurance, but my outcome was phenomenal and it's some of the most significantly positive healthcare i've ever received. Dan, Kelly, and Jihl were wonderful professionals and I genuinely appreciated their insights. I wish places like this could operate less like a business, and provide treatment to the people who need it most, but that's true of all US healthcare. But regardless of that, if you have the need, money, and time and are looking for a PT rehab, I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else. Thank you all! <3 Sam

Want to treat your pain? Want to improve your range of motion? Then you want Ivy Rehab in Rhinebeck. The staff is very professional, very welcoming and always responsive to your needs.

I had an excellent experience at Ivy Rehab in BlueBell. On my first day at Ivy, I was 6 weeks post Achilles surgery, fresh out of a cast and on crutches. My Physical Therapist, Dan, treated me with knowledge, kindness and the sometimes necessary tough love. I received well-rounded care in the office (strengthening, mobility and weight-bearing training, manual therapy, TENS), as well as helpful exercises to complete at home. I was walking pain-free in my boot in a couple weeks and my emaciated calf has started to fill out. The advice and support I received gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. I could not be happier with the results I have had in just one month. Thank you!!

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

I received excellent care! Jonathan is a highly skilled and experienced practitioner. The office is easy to work with to obtain outside records and make appointments.

Amazing rehab facility!!! Great people who actually care about you and your recovery more than anything else. I spent three months there for a foot injury. I went in hardly able to walk or put pressure on it, now I feel stronger than before the injury and its all thanks to the staff and their ability to put me into a rehab program that worked for me. Thank you

My experience with Ivy Rehab was excellent. I could physically feel my knees get stronger. The staff was very professional as well as courteous. I am so thankful that I was sent to this rehab location.

We have had a great experience at Miamisburg ABC Therapy. Johanna has been fantastic with incorporating my son in the Flex schedule for OT and ST. She checks in regularly with openings and reminders to schedule. She is organized and proactive. Our son sees Ashley for ST. She has been a huge part of improving his social skills. The OT department has been fantastic with working on executive function.

Response from the owner:We're so happy to hear this feedback – thank you for choosing us! The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy – Miamisburg

The therapists are very knowledgeable and caring. Even after I finished my well-tailor plan of care, I still incorporate my home exercise plan, given to me by my therapist, daily.
