What is PFD?

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD) is a condition that renders a person unable to control their pelvic floor muscles. PFD affects many women, especially as a result of pregnancy, delivery, trauma such as a fall or car accident, surgery, obesity, or other pelvic health conditions including endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, or prolapse.

Excellent4.8★★★★★ review us on ★★★★★ I enjoy going to rehab the people there are very kind and considerate. They are concerned about me and my condition. They work with you and do all they can to get you back to good health. I live going.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Bala Cynwyd – North ★★★★★ The team at PTW Montgomeryville is great!I’m going there for more than two months now to recover from a surgery on my Achilles tendon (a really nasty and painful injury).The recovery takes patience, but having the team at PTW helping and supporting me makes things much easier, and I see myself making progress day by day.All the staff and the therapists are always attentive, and willing to help, and as the sessions go by they propose new exercises to challenge me.Depending on my schedule I get to work with Jackie, Alex, and Kaitlin, the three of them are fabulous. Special note to Ryan and also to Minh and Michelle, always there for me.It is also a fun place and the atmosphere is excellent, the machines and facilities are new and the place could not be cleaner and tidy!I have always found a way of scheduling a session that works with my agenda, so that’s also great.Lastly, I’m from Argentina, so English is not my first language, the PTW staff are respectful and they try to find ways to explain exercises and share recommendations for me.Thanks, PTW Montgomeryville team!DAMIAN ★★★★★ Clean and professional efficient. I am feeling so much better. And stronger. Not a lot of personal chatter amongst the therapists, which is important to me. It’s so distracting unprofessional do that.Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Hackettstown ★★★★★ This’s the place to be if you need to receive physical therapy. The staff is supportive, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant (they have created a very comfortable environment for patients). Their team work approach is efficient and nice to see it working. I consider myself fortunate to receive my physical therapy in Ivy Rehab of Island Park. ThanksResponse from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Island Park ★★★★★ Miss Katie is amazing , she is the first person to actually seem to connect with my practically non-verbal 2.5 year old ! She definitely changed my whole outlook on speech therapy!Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy, West Chester Township! ★★★★★ From the second you pull into the parking lot you feel welcomed, accommodated and cared for. These guys just “get it” and are committed to helping you reach your goals.

Most importantly, she “steps in” towards the client and their problem, and takes responsibility for their improvement. . A Star. .Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, North Wales – Montgomeryville ★★★★★ My doctor recommended me for physical therapy due to my back injury. When I initially started I didn’t think it was going to make any difference but I was wrong! I can see the difference in my posture & when I walk. The exercises helped to strengthen my back & my range of motion has increased. I can tell the difference when I am doing leisure activities. Overall, my quality of life has been improved & I would definitely recommend (name of place). The therapists are professional & kind. They have a genuine interest in working with clients to make sure they meet their goals.Thank u for caring.Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Chesapeake – South Norfolk ★★★★★ From a warm greeting at front desk to careful analysis of my condition to skillfully designed exercises and treatments, Synergy was very responsive to me and my needs! It only took a few visits for the reception personnel to call me by name when I entered the building. Dr Annie Weaver paid close attention to my efforts to describe my condition and worked hard to find just the right exercises to do at the clinic as well as at home. Her amazing touch in finding spots to “dry needle” produced great relief. It is amazing how well the various staff persons work together to complement the treatment process. Every assistant was skilled in supervising the various exercises and treatments, but a big shout out to Ana who remembered what we had discussed from week to week. Thanks!Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Staunton ★★★★★ Excellent P/T from Nikolas Rivera atExcel(Ivyrehab). Improvement was almost immediate.He game detailed instructions for my at home P/T after I left the facility.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Cresskill ★★★★★ This establishment is wonderful in so many ways. It’s like a family without the drama. The staff is funny and light and serious. When they have to be. Everyone pitches in whenever and wherever they are needed. You can see the team gets along. They respect each other and the patients. If someone needs extra attention they are there for them. My thanks to Nicole, Noah, Adrian, Ryan,Kevin. and the rest of the team. Anthony PisanoResponse from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, New Hyde Park ★★★★☆ Wonderful speech therapy experience! Mr. Mike has helped our son so much. While we’re LOVING the actual speech component, the disconnect between front desk staff/billing/Ivy Rehab is fairly confusing and makes the billing component difficult. That being said, Nikki Huntsberger is a rockstar and really knows what she’s doing. Thankful for her assistance with the UHCCF grant & her willingness to explain billing when nobody else knows what’s going on 🙃 Overall a great experience and we’re so so thankful for the services we’re receiving!!Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy, West Chester Township! ★★★★★ I’ve used othe therapy places in the past. IvyRehab by far is the best. Especially for back and hip issues. They truly listen to your concerns. They’re helpful at adjusting your routine if it’s not a good day for you. They have many techniques to help you improve your health.Always listens to your concerns very informative with how the body heals.Water to land therapy is best for me. The pool is heat as d a nice size. There’s 2 pools. One heated 4 feet. The other colder and 7 feet.They’ll be my forever Rehab facility.I highly recommend them.Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Bala Cynwyd – North ★★★★★ 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.Response from the ownerThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Princeton ★★★★★ We started going to ABC therapy because we learned one of my sons has some very serious swallowing issues. Children’s was taking too long to get him in and, at the suggestion of my pediatrician, I reached out to ABC. My little guy started seeing Sydney and I don’t think I could sing her praises enough. My little guy has literally gone from struggling to complete a bottle and rapidly losing weight to a happy baby demanding more and more bottles with plenty of healthy baby rolls and curious about other foods. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say in many ways I think she saved his life. We are still seeing her and every time we go for our appointment she is happy to see him and he’s happy to see her.When my other baby (twins) started showing issues with food (a common issue in premature babies) the choice for OT was clear. My little guy sees Jordan and she’s also incredible. She is thoughtful and is always willing to go the extra mile for him. She senses his needs well and works accordingly. The improvement he has made in the short time he’s been seeing her is obvious to everyone.The facility itself is wonderful. The front desk employees are always pleasant and helpful. The facility is always clean. And they worked well to make sure the twins were seen at the same time to help with scheduling. I love this place and I’m forever thankful!!Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy, Cincinnati – Red Bank Road ★★★★★ Ivy Rehab is a very pleasant facility with excellent PT’s who are always there to help from an in person session to an e-mail or phone call if you need it.They want you to be the best you can be with their help. They listen to what you have to say – then discuss w/ you their opinion and what they think will benefit you treatment wise! I highly recommend Ivy Rehab!!!Jan Fahey ★★★★★ This place is THE BEST! Not only are they punctual and organized, but they offer incredible care! I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Macina as my PT at the Clinton Hill location. Matthew was compassionate, knowledgable, and highly skilled. I always left my appointments feeling better than when I walked in. He also gave me stretches that I could do each day to help release my tight muscles. I am thankful that I don’t have any injuries at the moment and am no longer in need of his services. However, Ivy Rehab will be my first phone call if I ever need PT in the future. Thank you to Matthew and the Ivy Rehab Team!Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Brooklyn – Fort Greene ★★★★★ Both Mike and Michelle at Excel PT in Westfield were fantastic and helped me make a very speedy recovery from a stress fracture in my left tibia. Mike was extremely patient and thorough with all of my questions and took the time to understand the history of the injury and the exact nature of the pain I experienced before developing a very effective treatment plan to restore strength and function through all our PT sessions. I was extremely happy with the rapid progress I made and will highly recommend Mike and Excel PT in Westfield to anyone who is in need of a knowledgeable and caring physical therapist who is invested and focused on getting you back on the path to being well again! Thank you Mike and Michelle, you guys rock!!:)Response from the ownerThanks so much for your awesome review! We’re so happy to hear that you’re feeling better. We agree – Mike and Michelle rock! ★★★★★ A very friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door until the time you leave. The front desk staff are personable and friendly and helpful with any questions. Joe is very attentive and listens to you and provides excellent care to each person’s personal needs. He explains why he’s having you do certain exercises and walks you through the process of your rehabilitation. I would highly recommend this office for anyone looking for Physical Therapy.Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, West Deptford ★★★★★ Ivy Rehab is a phenomenal facility! They have great staff from their BCBA’s, OT and speech pathologist. Every single person there has a smiling face with a great attitude. They do an amazing job at making a difference in children’s lives every single day. I would highly recommend Ivy Rehab!Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab for Kids, Canton js_loader
