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.

I can’t say enough about the exceptional service I received at Ivy Rehab. With an injured knee and sciatica pain, my instinct was to curl up at home on the sofa. Instead Tanner got me moving with everything I needed to make a recovery. He truly listened as I described the kinds of pain I felt and found the best exercises to build strength. I was surprised at how these simple but creative moves really challenged me, and I felt motivated by Tanner to keep pushing forward. The whole team at Ivy is awesome. After about six weeks I was able to ring the bell. Thank you Tanner, Rachel, Zach, and the whole team. I will recommend you to any friends or family who need PT.

Wonderful and caring team! I wish I'd had access to physical therapy of this standard earlier in my life. Thank you, Bob, Helen, and everyone else at Ivy Rehab!

Just year ago we were struggling to understand and communicate with our 3 year old, which became unbelievably frustrating for everyone involved. We had different SLP’s in Virginia Beach with little progress, UNTIL we found Ms. Lauren! She’s been a heaven sent for my son, and had him making progress faster than we’d ever imagined. Today, we (as well as friends and teachers) can understand him fully- and I can’t explain what a relief that’s been. We are so grateful for her, and my son looks forward to his sessions every week!😄 On an Admin front, Chewy’s been the MVP- always keeping things running smoothly with appointment scheduling/reminders and working with insurance! We’ll be so sad when it comes time to leave the Ivy Rehab team!❤️

Quinn and the staff at Ivy rehab were able to provide me with an amazing PT experience! I came in because I was experiencing horrible pain on my knees and some lower back pain. My PCP recommended them and I am glad that they did. Quinn was able to work with me and made a plan that helped me get back on track. I was feeling much better in a few weeks. The rest of the staff was super friendly and always made for great conversation. I felt extremely comfortable with them and they were incredibly professional. They were also willing to work around my schedule too. I highly recommend them and I would gladly use them again if I have any other ailments that require PT!

My rehab at Ivy has been a blessing. I tore my rotator cuff and they were so knowledgeable about how to help me. The staff was so great. From the front desk to the therapists. ❤️

It’s been a miracle working with Dr Kris. I couldn’t walk on me knee for 2 weeks. No weight baring had to use a walker. My knees are bone and bone per the x-ray and the orthopedic surgeon. After one visit with Dr. CHRIS, my legs were swinging freely and my left one wouldn’t bend at all. After my second appointment, My knee was down to about one or 2% pain. I was barely limping. The dry needling that he did on me is miraculous. Thank you, Dr. CHRIS

The park sports team / environment is great!! I worked with Megan for a while on my lower back and learned so much about my body and made improvements on my back pain. She’s awesome!!

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.

Special thank you to Tim for the exceptional care in getting my hand working again. He is truly an asset to Main Line. Thank you all!!

The team at Ivy Rehab is amazing! My recovery from a knee replacement went so smoothly. I would recommend them to everyone!!! Very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate… I could go on. Thank you for all your help in my recovery!

I have had many excellent experiences with Ivy Rehab in Island Park, NY. It was clear to me from my very 1st appointment that the whole staff genuinely cared about my recovery. I have been working with Matthew Moskowitz for several years as I have had multiple surgeries. I cannot thank Matt & Ivy Rehab enough for giving me my life back. This facility and the whole staff are outstanding. I also thank Torin Bacon for his care during my first few years in recovery. It was his initial care that kept me going back to this facility. Both Torin and Matt have been very accommodating. They developed & deployed a strategic plan working in sync to address very complicating conditions that I suffer from. I am grateful to the entire team for their incredible support, patience, and care.

I highly recommend Excel Physical Therapy in Westfield! After I fell skiing and injured my knee, the team took such wonderful care of me—with genuine attention, compassion, and expertise. Choosing a PT practice can be overwhelming, and I’m so grateful I found Excel. The entire staff is fantastic, including John, Josh, Christian, Sara, Ebony, and especially my primary therapist, Aaron. Aaron brings a kind, thoughtful approach to treating the whole patient. He supported me through pre-hab, talked through my options as I considered surgery, and helped me prepare both physically and mentally. I ultimately chose to move forward with ACL repair and a partial meniscectomy, and the pre-hab made a huge difference in my post-surgery recovery. I returned to Excel after surgery, and now—just three months later—I’m blown away by how well I’m doing. I owe so much of that progress to this team. If you’re unsure where to go or hesitant about starting PT, look no further than Excel. Aaron and John are exceptional therapists who provide hands-on care and a customized program that evolves as you do. Josh, Christian, and Sara are always there to guide you through your exercises, and Ebony keeps everything running smoothly—from scheduling appointments to helping navigate insurance—and is simply a joy to see at every visit. On top of the incredible care, the environment is upbeat, welcoming, and always has a great playlist. Excel Physical Therapy is truly the best—thank you all for helping me get back on my feet!

I had a wonderful experience at Ivy Rehab! The entire team is professional, knowledgable and enthusiastic. They create such a positive experience that you hate to leave after recovery. Thanks to everyone there for making my recovery a complete success!

Compassionate kind staff! They monitored my progress and adjusted exercises as needed. Danielle and Giancarlo in particular made P/T a very Positive experience. I’ve been to Excel more times than I would prefer, but I always left in much better condition. Thank you!

Everyones nice – however the Waiting room could use "sound dampening panels"! The room echos & and multiple therapists come out at the end of the sessions & it gets very loud.

They took me from real pain to no pain at all and were right there with me every step of the way. Adam was my main therapist but Emily and Tyler worked with me often as well. They were all terrific and of course I couldn’t have gotten through it without Brie’s help all the time.

I had a wonderful experience at Excel Therapy. I went in after a knee replacement and had Nicholas as my therapist. He was so professional, extremely knowledgeable and caring. I was concerned that while doing exercises I would totally be on my own, not knowing if I was doing them correctly . I have to say Nicholas always checked on me to be certain I was properly doing all exercises.He always changed my exercises depending on what I needed at that time for a fast recovery. I could not be more pleased with results of my therapy at Excel and would certainly return in the future if needed.Thank you for the wonderful care.
