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.

This was my second time coming to Ivy Rehab PT. The first time was wonderful, and so was the second time. Both were for ankle injuries. Staff is super caring and patient. This is a selfie with Dhruv he's only a student, but he did a phenomenal job helping me. Amanda was amazing, I liked seeing how well she guided Dhruv. Don't get me started on the front desk, lady Terri she was the sweetest, and it was nice getting her call for this second time around and her immediately remembering me. Overall, great staff, clean environment, very hands-on. 10/10 Do recommend! 🤗

I can’t recommend the Excel team highly enough. They not only eliminated my pain but set me up for future success with the stretches and exercises I may need in the future. The team works together to make it an excellent – and even fun – experience for patients. Thank you all!

Literally most caring, thorough, thoughtful, compassionate and giving caretakers from the scheduler of appointments to the Therapists. Our child is so lucky to have the support of this staff to help her learn to walk again!

The crew at Ivy Rehab Kokomo are amazing! Each therapist tagged teamed my needs and kept my progress moving forward. The four therapists had a different treatment style and method that ultimately worked in challenging me during my sessions. I'm going to miss our weekly banters. A BIG Thank You goes out to the rehab crew … much love

I have been to many other physical therapy offices in West Michigan and Chris is by far the most comprehensive therapist I've been to. A truly great experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Caledonia

Two months after my foot fracture I was still finding it very difficult to walk and I searched for the physical therapy center close to my home. I was delighted with Excel physical therapy and chose to have Catherine as my physiotherapist after reading good reviews about her. I felt better at the very first session – 50% of the stiffness that follows a fracture was gone! I am now having treatment for my hips and my back and hoping for the same excellent results.

Response from the owner:Thanks, Cathy! We are so glad you chose Excel PT.

Steve Segal was a 1st class therapist. He was extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable. His therapy plan was very helpful to my progress and pain control of my knee issues. His staff is very nice and accommodating. Ihighly recommend Therapeutics Unlimited of Englewood Cliffs.

Absolutely amazing staff! Friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. They don't just walk you through the exercises/routines but help you to understand the why and how it can help the healing process. Glad I was given their name!

The person I had Amy was very pleasant and very knowledgeable and insightful. I was very please with her hoping I get a chance to work with her.

Antonio Sapienza helped me tremendously throughout my achilles tear recovery for 7 months. He was professional, hardworking and caring during my rehabilitation. He is a very friendly and attentive PT and is great at his job. I highly recommend him as he will go above and beyond for his patients.

Response from the owner:Hi Vitaly, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're glad that Antonio was able to help you with your recovery. We appreciate your recommendation!

Miss Stephanie is a great speech therapist. She is knowledgable and also very compassionate. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a speech therapist.

Great place, great people. The staff is knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. It says, "It's all about the people" on the wall, and it's clear they put this into practice. Go consistently, do what they prescribe, and you'll start to feel better!

Great staff, great therapy. I learned so much about completely restructuring my workout routines to treat my body better. Many thanks to Dr. Annie for her instruction and guidance! Truly enjoyed working with Jocelyn – her sense of humor made my motivation for the physical work rise to great heights.

I love Ivy. They truly care about your progress. Everyone I've worked with thus far has been kind, knowledgeable, and personable. I would definitely recommend this place for PT.

The staff treats you like family. Appointments are flexible and available. Not to big and not too small a facility. Plenty of parking and convenient to get to. The facility is always clean and being cleaned. Steven is serious about getting you well and developed great rehab plans for your specific needs. I have a long term need for rehab and this is my go-to facility!

Sherry and Lisa are great. I came in with multiple ailments several weeks ago and they've been helping me a ton. I love the positive atmosphere and great customer service. I'd highly recommend this PT office.

Everyone at the practice is professional, helpful and friendly. I came to Maximum for PT on two separate occasions. Although I got the opportunity to work with everyone at the practice, I particularly want to highlight how attentive and helpful Paige and Arvid have been during my sessions. Thank you team.

Ms. Amanda is the most incredible speech therapist we could have ever asked for. Both my children, Sam and Alex, worked with her over the past 6 years. During that time we have seen tremendous growth with not just my children’s speech but also their cognitive and social emotional skills because Ms. Amanda taught them with love. She challenged them to reach their potential and she taught me how to be a better parent in the process while I watched her work her magic. We will forever be grateful for how Ms. Amanda goes way above and beyond her job description every day. I honestly don’t have the words to fully describe our gratitude and her talent. Ms. Amanda is incredibly loved by us, and we will never forget the positive impact she has had on our lives!!! Thank you so much!

I had a complex foot surgery and needed PT from a practice that understood this type of recovery. Ivy was fantastic. They are highly skilled, patient, personable, and the environment is truly welcoming. They got me running again and I'm so thankful for them!
