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, Crystal and the team at Ivy Rehab Indian Trail are phenomenal. After my back injury, I received PT for the last few months. They were patient, kind, understanding and worked with me to develop a personalized plan addressing my specific concerns. Thanks to Brian’s care, I saw significant improvement not only with my primary concern but my overall health as well. The facility is well-equipped and scheduling was always accommodating – Crystal is simply the best!!! 10/10 I highly recommend for anyone needing rehabilitation services. I will not hesitate to go back exclusively to Ivy should I have any further issues or concerns that needs addressing.

Grateful to Ivy and especially to the therapist Alex. I am dealing with vertigo, balance and related vestibular issues. Medical Doctors have not been able to provide meaningful relief. I went through two attempts at vestibular therapy with little progress. Alex took a proactive approach to my issues. He set a goal "Bullet Proof Vestibular System." His accumulated knowledge, his thoroughness and professionalism are making an enormous difference in my life. I have not experienced a sever attack in at least 90 days. I feel much safer in my daily activities. I completed the course of therapy with a list of exercises designed by Alex, personalized for me, to maintain and improve my progress. Ivy and Alex in particular have my highest recommendation.

Denise, Kurt and Krista were all very helpful in my rehab from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Their knowledge and care was top notch. Their scheduling was very flexible and understanding. My comfort and progression was the number one goal. I am happy to announce I am rehabilitated and headed back to work. Thank you Ivy rehab!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Grand Blanc

Absolutely LOVE them. I started off doing PT there, my eldest needed it, then my youngest. Apparently it’s my family’s choice to go to. Everyone there is amazing. Almost make me want to have another injury so I can go back they are that amazing. Wonderful people

I decided to try Ivy Rehab in lieu of some other, more common PT places in the area. I was glad I did. The team there is great. They are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The center is also very clean and welcoming. Scheduling is easy and they are very accommodating to one’s busy life. I made progress with my neck issue so thank you to the Ivy team. I would definitely recommend.

My daughter has been going to ABC since she was a baby. In those years, she has grown so much! We have loved every single therapist she has worked with, and have felt that each has helped her develop in different ways! Having been here for so long, it really feels more like family to us then just a therapy center. I can feel how much they truly care about and love my daughter, which I know she feels as well. I think that has helped so much in her progress! We love the whole staff here!!

Response from the owner:Thank you Katie! We appreciate your kind words. We truly love our children and their families! I am glad it shows!

Outstanding staff, from Kida at the front desk to the entire team. AK and his team are professional and caring. They work with patients to achieve the patient’s goals, not just to resolve an issue. The issue may be a strained muscle or sprained joint but the patient’s goal is to get back on the course, court, or playground. They will get you there.

So my wonderful physical therapist at Ivy in Lafayette Hill recommended Tyler bc I wasn't getting relief bc my dumb shoulder is apparently just..stubborn. He does dry needling which if you don't know, is sorta like acupuncture but more for, like, targeted pain relief & such. Well, the first day I got it I had to drive to Fort Lee, NJ the next day. Normally, a long car ride would be sooo uncomfortable but I was FINE! Now, I work on my feet, chopping a lot of romaine lettuce and other veg, so I'm irritating the injury, plus my posture sucks and I'm waiting to get a cervical spine MRI.. But the dry needling has really helped. Also he reminds me to keep standing and sitting straight which I need! I slouch BADLY. He's really nice and funny which I guess, as a 40-year-old person, I always worry may not be the case with young people, haha. He really cares about getting you better. He even went to bat for me and called my one doctor to try to get her to order an MRI. He's really great, as are Lily and Kathleen. Neither of them mind that I always have to pee when I get there and before I leave (small bladder, ok?!). I am just really glad I started coming here.

I came across Ivy Rehab by chance and I am so glad I did! Since my daughter has been receiving treatment here for physical, occupational and speech she has made so much progress! The environment is warm and friendly, you can tell the children feel safe and comfortable and the staff is amazing! Would absolutely recommend!

Jalina is the best PT we have come across in our 5.5 years of physical therapy for our daughter. She thinks outside of the “textbook” and sees my daughter for who she is and what she needs verses our past PTs who insist upon “what has always worked.” We are so grateful for finding her!

Denise and all of her staff at Ivy rehab are amazing! From the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave they are full of smiles and you feel right at home. I have been coming to Ivy for two months now and feel like a new me! I am so much stronger and have a new lease on life! Thank you so much for being such a positive influence in my life!

We had a great experience at Ivy Rehab! Our baby received PT services for what turned out to be a complex and rare condition. Cassie was amazing at listening to our concerns and working with us each week on a care plan. We always felt empowered as parents and confident leaving each session knowing how we could continue to work on progress at home. Cassie is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, motivating, and has a great sense of humor, keeping our girl intrigued for the full session. The entire staff seems warm and welcoming. The woman at the front desk is just wonderful. Welcomes everyone with an infectious smile, radiates positivity, and made scheduling and payments a breeze. We had a few sessions with Savannah and another therapist (sorry can’t remember name!) and they were also amazing. Highly recommend Ivy!

I have been in and out of Excel for years and their staff is so friendly and helpful in putting you back together. And some of their PTs, like Dawson, are running specialists!

I was referred here by two different friends, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I came in with lower back pain and a sciatica flare-up, and what stood out immediately was how welcoming the environment felt. As someone who definitely doesn’t consider herself an athlete, I was a little intimidated at first, but I never felt out of place. The team met me exactly where I was while still encouraging me to challenge myself and make real progress. Over the course of two months, my physical therapist (thanks Megan!) helped me think about strength and physical health in a completely different way—not just as something to address when you’re injured, but as something worth investing in proactively. They held me to a high standard while also giving me grace when life got in the way (including when I got sick and needed to scale things back for a bit). By the end, my pain was significantly improved, but more importantly, I left with the tools and confidence to take better care of myself long-term. Even calling my final session a “graduation” perfectly captured the supportive, encouraging culture they’ve built here. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

I normally see Melanie at this location and she is great! She always goes above and beyond and really cares about her clients. I would recommend to anyone looking for a physical therapist.

Highly recommend Maximum Performance for PT. Very clean facility, knowledgeable staff and quality customer service. Started with pain in my knee and after a few weeks I was pain free!!
