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.

Brian, Logan, Leslie, and Kat are all amazing! They are kind, patient, and extremely proficient in what they do. Not only are they attentive and considerate of their patients' comfort and progress, but will also take the time to explain everything. Additionally, the clinic is clean and organized with all new equipment. They are the best team you can find!

I’ve now been to Ivy Rehab for three separate treatment courses after two hip replacements and a knee replacement. The staff there are amazing from the front desk to the therapists and PT aides. I also found their pick-up and drop-off car service very convenient. I most recently had Lauryn as my therapist. I’d usually warm up on the exercise bike and then have a number of increasingly difficult exercises to complete. Once I was warmed up, Lauryn would stretch my hip. Over a couple of months, I was able to regain full motion in my hip with absolutely no pain. I’m back to doing my usual physical activities, some of which are quite strenuous. Two thumbs up for Lauryn and the team at Ivy!

Victoria did an amazing job working on my shoulder and I believe I avoided surgery because of her therapy. The staff was always friendly and professional. Great experience.

Between our two kiddos we all LOVE Sarah, Emily, Anna and Ellen!! So kind, SO sweet, and have helped them hit their goals! We all could not be happier.

Response from the owner:Our Maple Grove team is so awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I came to Back in Action in acute pain and unable to walk without a cane. In just 3 months, I am pain free and walking without a cane. Also I was taught what exercises to do when my pain acts up and how to practice self-care better. We even worked on my balance!! My PT Carly was fabulous. Can't say enough good things about this practice (clean, professional, friendly, accepts insurance, communication was great, did periodic appraisals of my condition) .. It was a great all around experience, I would highly recommend them. THANK YOU BIA, You got me my quality of life back!!!!!

I had such a great experience at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy. Everyone there is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable from the start. My therapist, Dr. Brian Guardado, was awesome. He really listened to what I needed and helped me get back on track at a pace that worked for me.

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 a great experience at Ivy Rehab! Went in for PT for a knee injury and got treatment and advice tailored to my specific situation and goals. Connie was great and helped me understand my injury and what I needed to do fix it. One of my concerns going in to PT was that the frequency of sessions was unnecessary since I could just do the exercises at home after learning them but each visit was helpful and I was given new exercises or progressions on old exercises based on how things were going.

Extremely helpful for neck/shoulder pain due to tight LS, lavator scapulae muscle. Tyler, therapist, provided rehab exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles and then provided Dry Needling to relieve knots in the muscles. Highly recommend Dry Needling. It reduces the muscle pain tremendously.

From the front desk, Irene makes you feel like family, to Sundeep, Alana, Isaac and every other amazing human that works here, I actually look forward to physical therapy twice a week and wish I could go more. Alana and her magical hands had me fully bending my knee about 3 weeks after my ACL/meniscus surgery! Highly recommend Ivy Rehab!

My physical therapy is going great. The staff is very professional and really know what they're doing. Danielle and Jenna are amazing and I am totally confident my recovery will be successful under their care.

Response from the owner:Your kind review made our day, thank you so much! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy – Cresskill

Everyone at Ivy Rehab was awesome! Olivia and Matt were fantastic to work with, and Amanda was always so helpful at the front desk. I feel so much better than when I first started, and I was even given workouts to do at home to keep me motivated in my recovery. If I ever need PT again, I would definitely return.

Knowledgeable and professional staff who genuinely care about your well-being. Kevin helped me correct lower back pain I’ve been having for years. Highly recommend!

In November, I tore my Achilles and decided to go the non-surgical route. The road to recovery was pretty unknown and definitely challenging, but I started physical therapy at Excel during the last week of January determined to get back to full strength. Over the next three months, I worked with Jenna and Patrick, and they were incredible. They knew exactly how to guide the rehab process, always pushed me at the right pace, and made sure I was improving every step of the way. I felt supported and challenged. By the end of my sessions, I was back to running and doing all my normal activities. While not yet at 100% I can see the light and a huge thanks to Jenna and Patrick for helping me heal and getting me back on that path. Hope to never see you guys again! 🙂

I love Ivy Rehab Kokomo. Dr Tyson Damitz and his crew are the greatest. They are caring and knowledgeable and I always have fun during my therapy time. I recommend them to all my friends and family.

Dan and Julian are the best. They are helping me with some serious vertigo issues. They always listen to my concerns and thoughtfully address them. They explain the exercises, many times more than once! I always leave feeling hopeful. An amazing, patient and knowledgeable team.

I just got discharged today. I am forever grateful for Ivy Rehab for having easily available appointments. I got hit with severe vertigo and what may have been the worst time possible for me. I found that my therapists Dan and Matt really listened, they pushed me, but not to my breaking point, they were incredibly knowledgeable, they could tailor everything to me, they were kind, encouraging, and fun. This place was great and every therapist was amazing with their patients from what I could hear. Even when frustrated with myself, I always had a smile on my face here. I also felt like had great support in my therapists here. I highly recommend this place if you need physical therapy. I can't imagine any place better.

Emily was an inspiration to me. I did not think my pain would go away but she kept working with me and we tried different approaches. I am so glad I did this! All staff were friendly and efficient.
