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.

Kevin, Rachel, and Shannon are second to none. The professionalism, courtesy, and treatment they provide to their patients is refreshing to see. They’ve helped me feel years younger and work through any issues that come up due to my active lifestyle.

This is a great rehabilitation center. The staff is awesome starting from The reception desk Michelle.
And let's not forget the wonderful people that worked on my shoulder.

From the first day I knew it was going to be a great experience. It all started at the front desk. Ebony was wonderful! She ensured that I could get the best possible times that worked for me and was very kind when I needed accommodations. If you needed a laugh it started at the front desk door.

Aaron was my specific PT. Day 1 I knew he cared and by the last day I was trying to find a way to keep coming back. Attended to your specific needs and made you feel comfortable about how you could get there. Always had a conversation starter to make you feel at home. Would ask how he could help make the process better for you. The 1 on 1 time was great where his focus was specifically on you. Now my Shoulder is 10X better!

The rest of the staff was also very kind, friendly and eager to help in any way they could! Josh and Sarah were the rockstars that kept the boat afloat when it was time to train. Even the other PT John greeted you like you were his own patient and very respectful.

I’ve been to PT before but by far this was the best experience with the best results!

Thanks again!

I had an outstanding experience with Connie Darrow and all of the staff at Ivy Rehab Princeton. I had a totally personalized routine and as my therapist learned about more of my future goals (biking, skiing, etc.) she adapted my program to help prepare me for them. Front office staff were also excellent, very flexible with scheduling, and great communicators when there were issues with local traffic or illnesses. I will definitely be going back if I need more PT in the future!

I called Ivy Rehab on Washington Street and the front desk was able to give me clear input right away about my insurance benefits. When I arrived for my first appointment, it was really nice to see some familiar faces from when I was there several years ago. The therapist I had in the past moved to a different Ivy location – all good signs of a decent place to work (I hope!).
My therapist, Bobby, was engaged in my process and did great work with me. The support staff were all friendly and easy-going… I don't recall everyone's name, but they include Nicole and Jerry (the good music meister). I recommend giving them a try!

Manny took the time to do a thorough evaluation and not just help the area with pain, but the root of the problem-I am so excited to be able to do activities I haven’t been able to do in years!

My 94 year old mother broke her neck in a car accident. I was afraid she would not recover. Thanks to the Ivy Rehab in Naperville and the tender care of AK and his team she is "still kicking at 95, although not so high as she says." Our sincere gratitude and well wishes.

I spent 5 months in PT following hip surgery, and Synergy was the best clinic I could have chosen! (I've been to other clinics that weren't quite as good.) All of the staff are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to problem-solve and truly care about your progress and outcomes. I would be happy to go back to Synergy if I needed therapy again.

My son and I absolutely adore Sydney as my sons speech therapist! He has come such a long way in a year. I also love my favorite receptionist, Christine. She’s always so friendly and helpful with scheduling and getting things taken care of! I would recommend and have recommended ABC therapy to many friends and coworkers for their kids.

Ivy Rehab Moorestown helped me so much! Brant and his team are so welcoming and friendly, and always professional. I've never had a PT experience where not only were the exercises explained well, but the physiology, too–in simple terms. They instilled confidence as I grew stronger and more aware of how to support my (minor but nagging) problem areas. Thank you, thank you, Brant and team!

Back in Action really helped me get better and I had such much help from David and the other therapists. I felt that I was encouraged and kept up the work while I was not at the clinic. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help to improve.

My friend recommended Excel PT for my back issues and I couldn’t be happier. Joe and Holly are the best. They give you individualized attention, their knowledge is outstanding, the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The receptionists are the best, as well. They make you feel comfortable making appointments, rescheduling, insurance issues, etc…. I’ve had dry needle therapy with Joe and it helped a great deal and cupping and tens unit with Holly and it helped greatly. I feel like PT at Excel with Joe and Holly really made a difference in my back health! I would highly recommend them!

So GRATEFUL I found this place! Ellis has approached my healing in a super intuitive, hands-on, friendly, and creative way. If one thing isn’t working, he will try another. He’s down-to-earth, sympathetic, knowledgeable, patient, and is *fantastic* at manual therapy which I was not getting enough of at JAG Sports around the corner. Big shout out as well to Emanuel at the front desk. He is ALWAYS courteous, happy, and kind. After being met at the other place by a sour face day after day, Emanuel is consistently a welcome beam of sunshine. They also play great music here and have an all around good vibe going with the rest of the staff & aides. Highly recommend for all injuries! (For reference I am here for a torn shoulder labrum from rock climbing)

The team of professionals working at the Progress Physical Therapy at 800 N. Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia are real professsionals who not only take good care of their patients but also treat them with respect and dignity. They provide a fleet of transportation to pick their patients up at their home and bring them back in a respective and timely manner. Every minute spent in their office is used to fully concentrate on the best way to help their patients get better. With their modern equipments and well train staff I strongly recommend that anyone who need the service of a physical therapist to patronize them without hesitation.

My PT at Ivy Rehab has been wonderful. The staff is excellent! Crystal always gives you a wonderful greeting. She always helped with scheduling my appointments around my work schedule. Brian gave excellent attention to my recovery needs. He was very thorough in explaining every process of my therapy and pushing me to get the maximum outcome from my therapy. I will be having my other knee replacement done in October. I look forward to coming back for my PT. Thank you Nancy Hammond

We just left Ivy Rehab and our appointment went great. The facility was very clean. My son was treated very well, and evaluated thoroughly. The questionnaire is long but allows many details to be included, to paint the full picture and allow the staff to help provide the right services. We came for an evaluation with the speech therapist for my son with autism and ADHD. We left with answers, and an email with info on other facilities that can help with what Ivy cannot. And recommendation for other services that Ivy can provide. My son is really excited to come back for Occupational Therapy. Side note: Phalon was so friendly and genuine. Also very compassionate and listened to all my concerns. The director introduced herself personally on our way out the door. I thought that was a great touch and showed that she really cares.

Highly recommend Ivy Rehab on Green Level. Great people. I worked with Ethan. From day one, every diagnosis he made and every decision he chose to get me back to a pain free state has been flawless. He is very perceptive and keen to listen to his patients and understand the issues well. His skills in identifying the root cause and matching that with the perfect treatment to get lasting results and set his patients up with routines that allow them to quickly recover is impressive. Wish I had gone here sooner. Very happy that I chose this team and have recovered well. Thank you Ivy Rehab!

Response from the owner:Your kind words brighten our day – thank you for sharing! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Cary

I have been to a lot of different rehab clinics in my time. This is the BEST rehab clinic I have ever been to! The therapist explains why and how they will do your rehab. It is very clean and the atmosphere is positive. The therapist are the most knowledgeable and best I have ever had work on me. Yes there is pain when you do the exercises but no pain no gain. I look forward to going and getting better.
They have a receptionist that is very nice and makes you feel welcome. She schedules your appointments and does her best to get you in at your convenience.

As you can probably tell I cannot say enough good about Ivy Rehab.
