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.

The place was very clean, and everyone was incredibly polite. I paid attention to how they treated both patients and coworkers, and it was truly impressive. They took their time going over everything with me in a way I could clearly understand. They also helped me create a home game plan and provided my schedule right away. Overall, a great experience.

Dr. Caroline Trezona and Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy have been an amazing resource in recovery from injury. Dr. Trezona is personable and has immense knowledge to get you the best results. I highly recommend Dr. Trezona and I am thankful for the help in my recovery.

My evaluation was very thorough. Both PTs shared their insights and came up with a terrific treatment plan. I have a very complicated case and my pain management doctor referred me here. I felt muscles I never knew. Gentle stretching was terrific. I look forward to decreasing pain and improving function. Raymond is great.

I have been a patient of Excel Westfield for a few years due to a spinal stenosis injury causing a dropped left foot. This past winter, I decided to finally have a total replacement of my severely arthritic right knee which I have delayed for many years due to fear of slow recovery, on top of my sluggish walking due to the dropped foot, then add the pandemic in all built on my hesitation of elective knee surgery. After deep thought and prayer, I made the decision to have the right knee replaced. There is only one place I will go for orthopedic surgery and that is the Hospital for Special Surgery in NY. And Kudos to Brian Chalmers MD my orthopedic surgeon. There is only one place I will go to for physical therapy and that is Excel at Westfield New Jersey and Dr. Aaron Ploshnick. Due to my existing problems with my left foot I was very apprehensive of the post knee replacement recovery and accompanying physical therapy. I must state that my apprehensive was totally relieved by the excellent therapy, sensitivity and moral support of my physical therapist Dr. Aaron Ploshnick. I am now four months out of surgery and walking better and pain free. Kudos to my surgeon HSS's Dr. Chalmers and Kudos to Excel's Dr. Ploshnick, as I can now say that I am pain free and walking better than I have over the past four years. Excel's Dr. Ploshnick provides EXCELlent physical therapy and as a bonus, related positive mental therapy as well. J. Schiffer

The staff is super friendly and professional. Helen made the scheduling so easy for me. Connie Darrow was my therapist. It was a great, personalized experience. Connie helped me get rid of my shoulder and back pain and taught me how to avoid injuries in my daily routine. She was always on top of my recovery progress.

I began my therapy unable to walk and at the end of the 1st week of therapy was able to walk again. Over the course of 6 weeks they have taught me how to continue with my healing post therapy. The staff is amazing and focused! I highly recommend them.

Great rehab that is very close and convenient. Caroline is awesome, she gave me simple exercises every week to correct my scoliosis. I have seen lots of improvement in my back in one year of rehab.

I came to Progress PT after I tore the labrum in my shoulder, and I can’t say enough kind words about Dr. Jenna Kagan. She is excellent in every aspect of her care and showed me the most kindness and expertise throughout the course of my treatment. Her assessments were incredibly thorough and she set up telemedicine sessions during COVID to ensure I was keeping up with my exercises. Thanks to her, I was able to avoid having surgery on my shoulder, and I can use my arm to the extent of it’s range of motion again. Amazing PT, lovely office staff, and a wonderful experience.

Connie has been a great help with the healing of my knee. She has lots of patience and answers all my questions. I feel very comfortable with sharing my progress with her knowing she is always very encouraging. Great experience 👍

This office is wonderful! I will forever be grateful for the Speech Therapy team here. Every therapist that has worked with my child was kind, caring and completely focused on my individual child and his goals. Home exercises are thoroughly explained which help me to carry over at home. I'm looking forward to continue to see such amazing progress! Thank you Theraply!

Response from the owner:Hi Mollie, thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy to to hear about your positive experience, and are looking forward to continuing to work with you and your child!

Thank you very much to the professional staff of delaware avenue. In 2014 I was using progress PT with Dr. Jeff and his staff helped me with my left rotator cuff after operation. It was very successful. I would like to emphasize that the staff and Physical therapists are very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough with their work. Locations are very easy to reach and facilities are clean and equipped with modern technology for all kinds of tasks. Again thank you for helping me back to my normal life.

So glad my Dr recommended PTSIR In Orland Park. The entire staff was great. They really helped me recover from rotator cuff surgery. Jon, Natalya & Linda were all so wonderful. I highly recommend them for PT.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at PTSIR, Orland Park

I would highly recommend Ivy Chris and Amanda are wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly. My shoulder and back are both feeling much better, this wouldn’t be possible without their help and guidance

Ivy Rehab did wonders for my quality of life, and for someone who has mostly negative experiences with healthcare, it was refreshing to have people believe that my pain was real and could be treated. I have long-existing spinal problem exacerbated by desk work. It severely impacted my sleep and limited my physical activity for the last decade. Since, for the first time, I had insurance that would even begin to cover a non-injury specific issues, I went 2-3 times a week for two months and did the work outside of appts. It certainly wasn't easy or inexpensive, even with insurance, but my outcome was phenomenal and it's some of the most significantly positive healthcare i've ever received. Dan, Kelly, and Jihl were wonderful professionals and I genuinely appreciated their insights. I wish places like this could operate less like a business, and provide treatment to the people who need it most, but that's true of all US healthcare. But regardless of that, if you have the need, money, and time and are looking for a PT rehab, I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else. Thank you all! <3 Sam

From the ease of scheduling my appointments, to the personal care I received, everything was fabulous! Brian listened to my concerns and tailored a plan to address all of my needs. He used many different therapies, which included dry needling and cupping. I had never experienced either of these things, and although I wasn’t a fan of the needles, they really did help. The stretches and exercises he had me do were things I could do at home, which kept me mobile in between visits. On graduation day, Brian gave me printouts of many things I could continue to do after my therapy was complete. I would highly recommend Brian and his staff at Ivy Rehab to anyone needing help with mobility issues. Thanks again, Brian!! Frank D
