Athletic Personal Training & Physical Therapy Support

The Athletic Training program at the Ivy Rehab Network can be customized for all ages and athletic levels, including youth, high school, college, weekend warriors, and professional athletes. Each in-person session uses exercise, mobility work, and a personalized plan to support injury recovery and rehabilitation.

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.

I have been going to ivy rehab for a while now, and every time I’ve been there for my knee and back pain , I’m always taken care of with the utmost care and patience for my knee and back issues, every one that I’ve been treated by have been very thorough and professional in my care, as well as being able to get my insurance issues resolved, kudos to the front desk Danielle for helping me get the insurance taken care of, absolutely nothing but respect for the staff and what they do, very nice people.

Great place. Well organized and the perfect place to rehab if you want a place that will treat your condition with consideration the right way. Lori, my child's physical therapist, has been a blessing for our family. It's has been great to have a therapist who actually cares about the patient and gives detailed effort. You can tell the difference instead of being treated by someone who is just there for the paycheck and treats you like any other random patient.
I just finished 8 weeks of PT at Ivy, and I highly recommend. I genuinely started to enjoy going. I was mainly with Abhishek, and he was very professional but also easy to get along with and kind. He made therapy really fun! I had Maria for a few sessions, as well, and I feel the same about her. I could tell they both enjoyed their jobs and helping people. Each session is leave and felt like I could feel my back getting stronger and stronger each time. By the end, I 100% feel a difference in my strength and stability from the care I received. I’ll recommend them to anyone!!

Ivy Rehab in Willingboro is an amazing therapy and rehabilitation center . I went there for several months for a few different work related injuries. My main therapist was Nicole and she was great. She listened to my needs and concerns. She is very thorough and compassionate about her job and clients . All of the staff there are very tentative , helpful and caring. You are guaranteed to have a laugh while you are there along with a hot cup of coffee. They are like family and treat you as such. I would highly recommend Ivy Rehab in Willingboro. 10/10.. Thank you for everything. I miss you guys. Xoxo.

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!

My daughter had a hip injury and her medicine sports doctor recommended IVy therapy. We have been working with them since the beginning of the year so far so good!

I began coming to Ivy Rehab shortly after a wrist surgery (TFCC Repair). Leslie has been such an important part of my recovery and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care and expertise. From our very first session, she took the time to understand my injury, my goals, and my concerns. Her experience is evident in the way she approaches each exercise and adjusts the treatment plan based on my progress. She has incredible patience and never rushes the process, even when I felt frustrated or discouraged. Her recommendations both during sessions and for at-home care have been thoughtful and effective. She always explains the purpose behind each exercise, which has helped me stay motivated and engaged. I’ve noticed improvement in my mobility, strength, and comfort since starting therapy with her. Leslie also brings warmth, encouragement, and a calm presence that makes each session something I look forward to. I would highly recommend her.

I am very glad I chose Excel for my therapy needs. All the therapists on staff in your Hackensack office are very well trained in the therapy needs of each individual patient. If my therapist is tied up with another patient, any of the other staff members can look at my chart and instantly figure out what needs to be done next. That is one of the reasons I gave you 5 stars, also your clinic is kept very clean and up to date. I had my right knee totally replaced and looking back on when I started with Cesario and up to the point I'm at now, he made my recovery day and night better. I returned to work after 2 months and could not have done it without Cesario's dedication and help. Again, thank you for having a well trained staff whose dedication to patient recovery shows in all they do. Bravo !!
Response from the owner:Hi Robert, thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy to hear about your experience with Cesar and our Hackensack office. Best of luck with the rest of your knee replacement recovery!
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.

I started PT with Steve Siegel 4 months after my spine surgery. Steve designed a PT program with care and consideration for my pain. As important, Steve gave me lifetime habits for better posture, proper rising from a chair, and safe picking things up. Steve is an extraordinary coach. The whole staff felt like family.
Wonderful. PT Jonathan Moshenberg along with his entire team, helped to get me moving after a revision hip replacement. 10 weeks of PT and I'm walking with ease. Very professional. I highly recommend these folks for your physical therapy needs.

Very positive first session with Aaron. Ebony was super helpful with scheduling and directions.

Just finished my last pt session with Aaron. I am grateful for my improved core and decreased back pain. I especially appreciated his skill and knowledge as a physical therapist well balanced with his empathy and kindness. He went above and beyond in his efforts. Josh was helpful and fun to work with. Ebony continued to help making scheduling easy.

I got into a major car accident 10 years ago and sustained severe whiplash. I was only 21 when it happened and I've lived in chronic pain ever since. After 10 years of chiropractic care, I gave up on ever living a pain-free life.

I went to Ivy Rehab on the advice of my dad, who had a wonderful experience at the Montgomeryville location. I've been going to Ivy Rehab in Blue Bell for about a month and I was pleasantly surprised at the staff's engagement, knowledge, expertise, and energy from the beginning. The staff put a sign outside the center for my first visit welcoming me to the "family". And that's what it's truly felt like: a family. There have been days that I come to my evening appointments super tired from the pain or weary from a long day at work and don't feel like being there. Steven and Daniel have listened to my complaints about the pain, and other aspects of my life, with concern and support, and have developed a strategy to relieve the pain and strengthen my neck and back. Both Steven and Daniel push me to give 100%, but understand and will modify their plan when I can't. They constantly cheer me on when I make progress. Even the other patients have cheered me on and have been extremely welcoming! I've seen more results in the 4 weeks I've been going to Ivy Rehab than I have at the chiropractor I've seen bi-weekly for the past 10 years.

Once I finish rehabbing my neck, I plan to attend rehab at this location for a wrist injury and I hope to get my 13-year old daughter in for issues with her knee.

TLDR: If you are a person of any age and any level of fitness, that is in pain and wants to feel better quickly, Ivy Ridge Blue Bell is the best place to go. The team here truly cares about your health and well-being, has a wealth of expertise in the field of PT, and are extremely positive and supportive. As a former athlete who has completed several stints in PT for various injuries, I honestly can't say enough about my positive experience there.

Connie Darrow is an amazing therapist. She listened to my back pain issues and developed a rehab routine that was very effective. In seven weeks I am pain free.

I woke up this morning noticing an improvement in my back pain after the first treatment I received from Bo and Matt. I am happy to feel optimistic at such an early point in my therapy.

I have experienced many types of so called rehab. They all seemed to say they could help you with whatever ailed you at the time. Even though time is important in the healing process, wasting my time is not. I have found this to be true in a lot of the agencies I have attended.
. However, with Ivy their knowledge is impeccable and their hands-on approach is A number one. In short, they have it all.
