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.

It's been a wonderful experience going to Ivy Rehab in KOP. Not only is the staff super knowledgeable and extremely patient, they are really fun people to be around. I've had the pleasure of working with both Kelly and Tim and I couldn't ask for better! The staff are really friendly and helpful when it comes to managing appts and dealing with insurance. Even though I was coming in for chronic back issues and sometimes it was uncomfortable to get through certain exercises, I always enjoyed being there. The therapists become your friends and they help make exercising fun! I wouldn't hesitate to return if I had to…I know I'm always in good hands!

I am so delighted by the service at Ivy Rehab! The staff is very friendly and professional. Joe has a positive attitude and continues to provide great guidance in the exercises I do to strengthen my knee and hip. The facility is bright, clean and inviting. Colleen and Chris are very personable. Highly recommend this center!

I decided to try Ivy Rehab in lieu of some other, more common PT places in the area. I was glad I did. The team there is great. They are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The center is also very clean and welcoming. Scheduling is easy and they are very accommodating to one’s busy life. I made progress with my neck issue so thank you to the Ivy team. I would definitely recommend.

I had my first appointment with Karen. She is very professional and supportive. She successfully helped me, for the first time in years, get up from a chair without using my arms. Onward and upward!!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – New Hyde Park

Hadn’t been to Ivy since before they changed names but happy to say that quality of service has only gotten better over time. The front desk is always helpful with any issues you may have, going above and beyond to help you get things resolved. All of the staff is super friendly making you feel right at home. I personally worked with Lydia & to say that she is great is an understatement. No nonsense, very compassionate towards the issues you may be dealing with and overall just pleasant to deal with. Cannot suggest Ivy enough to anybody needing to recover from injuries!

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!

Absolutely remarkable / amazing the work Kelly, Jeff and John did after my total knee replacement surgery. Along with their dedication and hard work, I was able to get back to playing tennis four days a week.

I fell and broke my arm and destroyed my elbow end of January. I had surgery February 1. When surgeon gave the ok to begin hand/arm therapy, I made appointment with Bekah Thomas. She is wonderful. She worked with me with such patience and encouragement. After several months, I graduated today, July 9. I surpassed mine and Bekah’s goals. If you need any hand or arm therapy, Bekah is your therapist. Everyone at Synergy has been most helpful and great to deal with. I recommend them highly.

I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, Matt was professional, efficient and most of all, very knowledgeable about my ailment. He affirmed what the problem was and did the proper maneuver and fixed it on the first try. I would highly recommend PTW to anyone who needs rehab. I felt horrible for 10 days, now I feel reborn.

My experience at Park Sports was fabulous. The staff was professional, friendly, and, so helpful. The studio was well equipped and very clean. Everyone had great energy! Special thanks to Emanual at the front desk with his kindness and Olga my therapist for getting me strong :)))

I just completed my physical therapy for a knee replacement surgery. I went 3 times a week for 7 weeks. I was extremely satisfied with the experience. I know that without the therapy I wouldn't be able to get around . Both therapists I saw worked very hard to get me walking independently without pain. Every time I went I could tell I was making progress. Now I can walk at least a mile and go up and down stairs easily.
The atmosphere in the facility is very friendly and attentive. I was always welcomed when I entered. The staff kept everyone working the entire time that I was there. It was always a pleasure to go there.

I can't recommend this place enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and dedicated to helping each patient achieve their goals.
My therapist, Caroline, is outstanding. They take the time to fully understand my injury and developed a personalized treatment plan that not only addressed my pain but also helped me regain strength and mobility. Every session is well-organized, and the staff is always patient and encouraging, making sure I felt comfortable and confident with the exercises.

I can’t recommend Ivy Rehab Excel Physical Therapy enough! My experience with Debbie was nothing short of transformative. After undergoing three femur fracture surgeries, I was apprehensive about my recovery, but Debbie’s expertise and dedication made all the difference.

She not only guided me through the rehabilitation process with a tailored plan, but she also identified issues that my surgeon had overlooked, ensuring a comprehensive recovery. Debbie’s encouraging approach and deep knowledge of physical therapy empowered me to regain strength and mobility faster than I ever expected.

The entire staff at Ivy Rehab is welcoming and supportive, creating a positive environment that made each visit enjoyable. If you’re looking for exceptional care and personalized attention, look no further than Ivy Rehab.

Amanda was great. She explained ver well. Took her time, did not rush me and did different exercise with me and also gave me exercise at home. On the whole i am very satisfied.

I have LOVED my Park Sports experience. After trying several PT providers in the area, I can confidently say they’re the best. Emmanuel is the kindest, most professional, and empathetic scheduler. From the start, he set a friendly, helpful tone that cannot be understated, especially since I was nervous and on crutches when I first started. His flexibility and attention to detail have helped me fit several sessions into my schedule. Megan (without an h) is an excellent PT who brings friendly banter and careful, professional guidance to designing and explaining my treatment plan. She actively solicits and listens to feedback on what works for me and my body and adjusts exercises accordingly. Emilia and Tyra are equally friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and keep my spirits up if I have a tough day. As someone without any previous PT or extensive knowledge of my injury, they’ve helped me feel at home in my body and confidently walk again.
