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.

A week into my PT and Ivy Rehab with AK and his team have helped me so much. I am in almost zero pain from my meniscus knee sprain after 4 sessions. I always feel welcomed and cared for when I am there and they even go beyond their jobs and make sure they get to know you.

Visited Ivy Rehab in Briarcliff on Monday Met the most knowledgeable, capable therapist ever! I look forward to working with her to improve my neck pain and balance. Very excitedly

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

From the my first evaluation, I was reassured that I was in the hands of dedicated professionals who would do all they could to care for me and help me to improve my condition. The team and it is a team work seamlessly together in the best interest of their patients with compassion and care.

After a year away from Physical Therapy I began to get the signs that unlike a car my body needed a tune up. My son noticed and made the recommendation to get back to PT. I went back and I am in the middle of the process. They remain dedicated professionals, knowledgeable and clinically astute. The older we get the more difficult it gets. This team will help us do our part to maintain our highest level of functioning.- I trust and respect them.

I had been dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in my knee for quite some time. John and the team put together a great program to relieve the pain. Friendly, professional and experienced, I cannot say enough good things about the group. They will having you on the mend if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield

I wanted to share my experience to hopefully allow future customers to hear this before choosing the people that will care for them through recovery. I have worked with multiple team members at this location and during the last few weeks have been able to see a change in not only my physical self, but my mood in myself in general. Emily, Zach & Kyle so far have made every second of my recovery energetic and truthful. They pushed me when they seen the potential, yet let me relax when they seen the discomfort. When they knew I needed to go farther, they supported me through every step. I wasn't anywhere near a painful recovery as others were. But even seeing their patience and kindness with clients who were in much harder positions than me made me trust them more. They care here, and that's why I leave everytime with a smile.

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

From registration to my treatment, the entire staff and facility was great! I had vertigo issues and Daniel, my vestibular therapist was awesome. Very thorough and methodical. Caring personality and followed up with emails and gave reports to my ENT. Thanks to everyone! Highly recommend.

Friendly and hospitable staff, lots of positivity, a fun atmosphere, and genuine care for the kids and their wellbeing.
I hope I can take him again soon!

Everyone at Excel was excellent. I worked primarily with Aaron who was a great PT to work with. I came in on crutches after my 3rd surgery for the same injury and Aaron helped tailor my recovery to my needs recovering from ACL and ankle surgery. I’m finishing my time at Excel feeling much stronger and ready to go back to dancing after 2.5 years!

They are the best! The best service ever. I had to come last year for my knee and Terry was great. This year 2025, I had a muscle strain near my deltoid area. Connor was excellent. There were times when he was unable to tend to me and other staff members picked up. Sometimes we take our muscles/bones and other body parts for granted. I am thankful for this extremely knowledgeable staff. Have a great rest of your year Ivy Rehab on Walnut St.!

Response from the owner:We're thrilled you had such a positive experience, thank you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Philadelphia – Center City

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Wendy for several years. She’s worked with my son during his time in speech therapy and now works with him on the Wilson Reading Program. My son has grown immensely in confidence with all the strategies she has helped him acquire over the years. His apraxia is barely noticeable to most and his reading level continues to increase. I would recommend her to anyone in need. Her patience while dealing with the child’s frustrations is phenomenal and she will find a way that works for them that will allow them to reach their goals. We are truly blessed to have her as our sons teacher.
