What is the Ivy Prehab Program?

The Ivy Prehab plan is an investment in your post-op recovery. You’ll receive concierge care, from your surgeon to the physical therapist. You’ll receive a detailed and structured prehab program comprised of daily exercises to prepare you for surgery and help you achieve your goals.

  3. Establish home exercises with the guidance of your physical therapist
  4. Postural & body-mechanics education
  5. Gait training on all surfaces

Excellent4.8★★★★★ review us on ★★★★★ I feel so fortunate that I found a place where everyone cares and makes you feel like you’re part of the family. The staff here is priceless. The atmosphere is so energetic and friendly. My therapy sessions are excellent and progressive.Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, West Deptford ★★★★★ When I was first recommended for physical therapy for my knees and hips, I thought it would be just another few weeks of nothing but basic stretches. It was more than that. The staff pushed me but all within my physical limits. Days when I thought my body wouldn’t be able to do certain workouts the trainers motivated me by doing them with me.I’ve been working with this team for almost 3 months and my family, and I see the results. I have little to no pain since I completed therapy and I am more mobile than I have been in years. The team felt like family and focused on exactly what I was referred for.I rescheduled appointments more times than an average client, but the front desk receptionist assisted me with my situations each time. I would recommend this SPECIFIC CLINIC to anyone that needs physical therapy.Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Chesapeake – South Norfolk ★★★★★ My son has been going to Theraplay at Bensalem Pa since he was 6 months old. He is now 3. The care that the therapists give here is second to none. Only one word can describe them, AMAZING. All the staff are amazing and so kind. I am so happy that my son was discharged by his doctor. But, at the same time my wife and I are troubled since our son will not see the amazing staff here.They are like family to us and they truly help and love your kids. They are so easy to work with and I can’t say one negative thing about them.Most importantly they have helped my son is so many ways. They have given us tools that I never knew existed which helped my son walk, talk, and made his hand surgery a success. They know how to deal with special need kids and were so kind to my son. My boy is autistic level 2 and he loves his therapist there. When he was having a rough time they comforted him so much. To the point that he could not wait to go there. Personally I think they helped him socialize more too.Please, don’t worry if your kids go here, they will get exceptional care. They will be treated with love and your kid, I guarantee, will want to come to Theraplay 😀Not only are the therapists amazing but the office staff make your life so easy. Scheduling appointments is so easy with them. They work with your schedule too and bend over backwards to make your life easierTo all the staff at Theraplay THANK YOU SO MUCH. You truly helped my son achieve things that he would have not achieved. From the bottom of our hearts thank you and we love you like family.If my son needs anything else down the road I will definitely use your amazing services again 😀We will definitely be visiting you in the future 😀 thanks againLoveChuck and ChrissyResponse from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback!

Encourages parent involvement during therapy to familiarize patents with techniques to better aid child. ★★★★★ The park sports PT team is awesome! I was recovering from a hip operation and had heard great things about the team and they helped me to a speedy and strong recovery! I worked primarily with Megan and Emilia who were both fantastic. They are both very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure that I was improving both strength and mobility in my hip. While the road to recovery isn’t always easy, they made it a great experience and taught me so that I feel comfortable continuing to strengthen my hip and increase stability now that my sessions have ended. Emmanuel was always super helpful with scheduling and any communications. I would highly recommend this team to others!Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Park Sports Physical Therapy, Brooklyn – Williamsburg ★★★★★ I’ve been dealing with severe tailbone pain for several years and had seen 6 or 7 different doctors and therapists with no relief when I finally found Back in Action. The therapists there were welcoming and knowledgeable and Hannah worked so hard finding many different strategies until she finally found the root of my issue and created a treatment plan. I can finally sit for long periods of time without crippling pain! She is so gifted, kind, thoughtful and creative and I’m so glad to have found her! ★★★★★ Great “hands on” PT. Aaron is a true professional who has his clients best intentions for a speedy, but long term recovery in mind. Highly recommend!Response from the ownerThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★★ I have gone to Excel several times over the years. I can always count on great treatment from them. My most current route of PT has been with Cosimo Carrieri. I can’t say enough nice things about him. He goes that extra step in creating a treatment plan for you. He watches your progress and adjusts your treatment each visit if necessary. He is compassionate, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to provide a suggestion for a second opinion as well as different options for treatment. The assistants that work with him are just as nice. I left with a home program to follow to continue my treatment and told to check in if I needed anything. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Excel for treatment.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Hackensack ★★★★★ Dylan is outstanding. He never rushes and explains everything that he is doing. Engages you about what is hurting how to treat it. Highly recommend.Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback!

Caroline Trezona is extremely knowledgeable and is adept at clearly communicating the necessary steps to achieve maximum benefit and patiently guides me toward the optimum motions personally tailored for my individual needs. I have been to physical therapy in the past where you’re given basic instruction and then left to perform while the therapist attends to another patient. Ivy Rehab, and Caroline in particular, provides personal one-on-one care throughout each session to ensure maximum benefit.Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words; we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Cary ★★★★★ I have been to many other physical therapy offices in West Michigan and Chris is by far the most comprehensive therapist I’ve been to.

The first time was wonderful, and so was the second time. Both were for ankle injuries. Staff is super caring and patient. This is a selfie with Dhruv he’s only a student, but he did a phenomenal job helping me. Amanda was amazing, I liked seeing how well she guided Dhruv. Don’t get me started on the front desk, lady Terri she was the sweetest, and it was nice getting her call for this second time around and her immediately remembering me. Overall, great staff, clean environment, very hands-on. 10/10 Do recommend! 🤗Response from the ownerHearing this feedback means so much to us – thank you for sharing! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Philadelphia – Delaware Ave ★★★★★ this place is great! the atmosphere is uplifting and so is the staff. i have had the pleasure of working with all 3 of the PTs here and each one is knowledgeable, takes the time to listen to your concerns, and tailors an exercise regimen to your meet your specific needs instead of just throwing random things at you. so far im very happy with the progress ive made and i hope to continue that into the new year.Response from the ownerThank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Blue Bell! ★★★★★ Everyone at the practice is professional, helpful and friendly.
