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.

Visits range from 50-60 minutes in length. The program is typically 2-6 visits over the course of 1 month.

We want to help make sure you’re on the road to a faster recovery. Visits typically include:

  1. Learn about pre-operation expectations
  2. Assess objectives and set goals
  3. Establish home exercises with the guidance of your physical therapist
  4. Postural & body-mechanics education
  5. Gait training on all surfaces
  6. The assistive device obtained and fitted
  7. Improve range of motion and strength
  8. Safety checks

Your assigned instructor will critique your movements as needed and show you new exercises to help with your recovery. Jen, Nicole, Ms. S. and Laurie, thank you so much.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share your experience, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab PT, Willingboro ★★★★★ This is a great Physical Therapy facility. Aaron and Jon focus on results and track progress systematically. You won’t be stuck going to physical therapy forever and seeing limited benefits. They truly care about their patients/clients. The team fosters a friendly atmosphere and lots of comradery between the therapists and their staff. They keep a tight schedule but make sure that they don’t over book so that everyone gets enough individual time.I had my physical therapy for Plantar Facitiis done with Aaron and I can’t say enough great things about him. He’s very amicable and diligent in my treatment and makes time to get to know me as well. So I felt very comfortable in his care. He went above and beyond in both curing my Plantar Fasciitis but also when he found out that I was pregnant made suggestions that improved my lower back pain and overall pregnancy health.My husband sprained his ankle and worked with Jon. He also had a fantastic experience with Jon, who created a plan that really worked with his schedule both with home exercises and in center visits. He was able to get back on his ankle with no lingering pain after just two months.You really can’t go wrong with either physical therapists. So grateful to have them so close by! Highly recommended!Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★★ Didn’t think I’d be sad wrapping up PT! From start to finish my time with Damas, Sophia, and Zach was incredible. Over the course of three months, I went from walking with a crutch to confidently jogging.

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!
