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.

After breaking my wrist last July, Ive had the most wonderful experience in my healing process at the Ivy Rehab in Princeton NJ working with Physical Therapist Connie D. She has been working with me twice weekly. Connie is friendly, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and seeks effective ways to gradually facilitate my healing and above all strengthen my wrist and deal with carpal tunnel and nerve issues caused by the fall. You might say, well this is what she's supposed to do as a therapist, but you should understand that losing mobility and strength is very difficult emotionally and psychologically for me since I work full time and am a caretaker for my husband. I tend to lose patience with the slow healing that nature dictates at my age, and lose confidence that the situation will ever improve. But Connie's special talent is that she is a positive encouraging force in my life right now and she explains why it takes so long and proves through changing my exercises to target my goals and monthly testing that I am indeed improving. I have also worked with Bob at the Princeton office, and he too is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. In fact the whole office from reception through to every aid have been pleasant, upbeat and extremely heloful and welcoming. But Connie is a very special person, she cares very much about all those she works with and she has a delightful sense of humor, a very important and appreciated quality for me and others working through issues more serious than mine. She truly lights up the place.

Caroline is a fantastic PT! She is extremely knowledgeable and runs an efficient office, with on time appointments. She gave both my daughter and I excellent service and helped me understand how my sports injury came about so I can prevent it going forward.

Response from the owner:That's wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Cary

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.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Monroe

Been in PT several times and my experience this time with a torn right bicep was the best yet. Tyler & Adam go into just the right amount of detail to explain what's happening with the muscles & joints so it all makes sense, which is motivating. I'd be remiss if I didn't give a huge shout out to Brie, whose caring spirit and sense of humor puts folks at ease, and to Kathleen for her cheerful manner (always!) and whose patience with my scheduling glitches is greatly appreciated!!

Jalina is fantastic! She is an excellent listener and communicator, making my child feel safe and comfortable as well as explaining what I need to do on my end to help him. You can tell she really loves what she does. Chewy at the front desk is fantastic as well. She knows everyone by name when you walk in and she work diligently to get your appointments set up to best fit your needs. The entire staff is great!

I went PTW to treat my TMJ. I have been experiencing ear pressure for years and thought I had a hearing problem. Dr. Becker, an ENT, diagnosed TMJ and recommended PTW. Honestly I was unsure. I had ear trouble, not jaw trouble, but I was willing to try. I drove almost an hour to N. Wales from Delaware County to receive treatment. Catherine Grumbein did my intake and most of my therapy. She was amazing. She pointed out simple changes I could make in my behaviors and exercises to reduce my discomfort. Who knew that my resting tongue position was wrong? I didn't even know there was a right way to rest your tongue. In a little over 2 months I went from 26 degree rotation of my neck laterally to over 40 degrees. Catie and the whole PTW team were amazing. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. I appreciate the hard work and care that I received from the whole team. Shout out to Lauren, Andrew, Ryan, et al. Thank you.

Always great coming here and seeing all the staff at Ivy Rehab. They really make the place feel welcome, and always keep up with what is going on with you and your needs. I look forward to coming back here in the future to keep getting healthier. Thanks Ivy Rehab, Swift Creek Team!

Just a great place, very clean facility and amenities. Paige and her entire staff are very friendly. I just had my last session and it was bittersweet that I'm leaving the great people behind, but leaving with a positive feeling as my knee replacement rehab could not have been any better. Highly recommend Ivy rehab for all needs. Attention to detail and the programs laid out for me was fantastic. The staff will be missed, but I'll visit them!

Ivy ABA Dexter is amazing. This highly dedicated and gifted group of individuals provides the highest quality of care and support. As a parent I am so thankful for all they have done for my child. Our child and family would not be where we are today without the love, care and treatment they have given. I recommend Ivy ABA Dexter with 10 stars if I could.

Matt helped my son recover from his second knee surgery. He treated him with respect and understanding. He explained all exercises and stretches, so it made sense as to why it was going to help his knee. We had nothing but a positive experience, from treatment to appointment times that worked for us. My son's progress was amazing this time recovering, his leg is almost straight. I can fully say we trust Matt 100% to help any of our family or friends to recover from anything they may need help with. A positive atmosphere is just as important as positive treatment and we are so impressed with IvyRehab, as well as thankful.

I can’t say enough great things about the physical therapists and physical therapist aides I’ve been working with to get my hamstring better. Brian, Cosimo and Bo – the physical therapists I’ve worked with – are amazing at what they do. My exercises are carefully chosen based on each session I have at Excel. Brian, Cosimo, and Bo give me their complete focus when I’m doing my rehab exercises. My hamstring has gotten better thanks to their attention and focus. Primo and Talia – the physical therapy aides are amazing to work with. They offer clear directions for each exercise. They help keep my session moving along. I highly recommend Excel! I’m so happy I was referred here.

Response from the owner:Hi Kerri – what an awesome review! This is incredible to read and really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad that the Hackensack team was able to help you with your recovery.
