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.

Kari is so great with our son— he loves her! Kari is incredibly patient but knows how to keep the kiddo engaged in his PT and challenge him when he’s ready for it. The facility is very nice and clean, I would recommend it and Kari to anyone.

My family loves Ivy Rehab! The minute you walk through the door, you are met with kindness. My son has been receiving treatment here since August and has already made leaps and bounds in both his speech and occupational skills. The compassionate and encouraging environment Ivy Rehab facilitates has him entering and leaving each session with a smile 🙂

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.
We absolutely love Ivy Rehab for Kids. Kristin and Meredith are amazing with my daughter’s speech and Christina is absolutely amazing with occupational therapy. My daughter has come a long ways thanks to everyone at Ivy. The director Kristen is always on top of everything and amazing at communicating with us. Kelly is absolutely wonderful and so helpful. I love them all! Thank you all so much for all of your hard work!!! ~Tracy Schneider

Wow! Our 8 year has been struggling with regulating her emotions for a while. We have tried all the things- the missing piece was Ivy! Occupational therapy was the absolute best decision we ever made. She has learned so many new strategies and connected well with the staff. They do parent training and really customize the therapy that the child needs. Thank you to Ms. Emily and the entire Ivy staff for helping our girl grow!

My elementary aged son needed PT for several weeks for his ankle and was scheduled with Aaron Ploshnick. At first my son was hesitant to go, but Aaron was so kind and fun that PT very quickly became his favorite place to be. He’s already had improvements with ankle and associated pain in a relatively short time and he’s so sad that his PT sessions will be winding down. Aaron has been fantastic with my son…so much so, that my son willingly does his home exercises so he can report back to Aaron during his next appointment. Hopefully we don’t need PT again, but if so, we would definitely come back to Excel to see Aaron.

My children love going to therapy. They have been so amazing with my girls. I will always recommend ABC Pediatric Therapy in Milford. My girls have learned so much and I'm excited to continue to watch them grow.

I was treated by Emmanuel Jimenez whom I highly recommend. He is professional, patient , empathetic and truly cares about every patient’s wellbeing. It is so heart warming to see someone so passionate about their work and the drive to help others.

I could barely move my toe due to a turf toe injury. I worked with Patrick and Josh, and now my range of motion has improved in both my toe and my ankle, and my balance has also improved. I highly recommend Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy in Ghent for sports injury recovery.

I highly recommend Excel Physical Therapy. The physical therapists are kind and caring and take time to listen to your problem. The therapists, as well as the aides, care very much about your progress and work hard to help you reach your goals. It is a great place and I would definitely recommend if you are looking for quality health care!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Debbie! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Wonderful place! Mrs. Brittany is amazing along with all the staff, Very flexible and environment is very welcoming, relaxed and nonjudgmental. I've been bringing my 3yr old here for awhile now and he has made tremendous progress with speech. At 2 he wasn't saying much of anything and now at 3 he has gained loads of confidence and mimicking has kicked in finally, the sky is the limit. Highly recommend this place!

The entire staff is wonderful. Ebony is the sweetest. She was always so kind and welcoming when we arrived to our appointments. Johnathan, Josh, Christian and Aaron were amazing also. Johnathan was our main therapist. He was exceptional. Johnathan explained the entire process to us and was always available to answer any questions we may have. 💯 satisfaction. Thank you!!!

Therapeutics Unlimited is tje best PT Facility I’ve ever been to. Steve has taken care of and helped to heal our entire family (as we took turns hurting ourselves). He is a gifted and very knowledgeable professional who loves sharing his knowledge with his patients. The staff is kind, fun and so well trained. It will continue to be my PT place of choice by far!
We love Leaps & Bounds. My 3 year old especially enjoys her sessions with Miss Kathleen during speech therapy. She has come a long way in her speech and her confidence in the last year. I would recommend this place and Kathleen to anyone who has a child needing speech therapy.
If you want to seriously get better come here. Joe and Holly, the physical therapists are phenomenal in assisting you with care for you to get better in a timely manner. They are patient. They are smart and they work with you. The equipment is always getting thoroughly cleaned. Chris and Colleen are also wonderful. Always there to answer questions. You never feel out of place when coming to this establishment. They make you want to come back. You can't go wrong in coming here.

Treated my 3 month old for torticollis. Easy to schedule, great check-in process and billing, and we loved our PT Emily. She also had a student that worked alongside her and she was excellent! Grateful for their professionalism, knowledge and time! People always remember to write a review if they have a not so great experience but always forget to review when they have a good one. This facility sees so many patients. I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews in general. Would give more stars if I could. Highly recommend.
