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

I left having no pain and an understanding of how to continue on with my daily life without fear of getting hurt again.Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Conshohocken ★★★★★ Patrick is the star of the show, Michael keeps the pillowcases so fresh you could eat off them, Samantha stabs me with needles (but hey, no more inflammation), Josh diagnosed my shoulder, and Patrick swooped in to save the day. Best PT squad ever! This team never rested until I was fully recovered. Bravo 👏Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Norfolk – Granby ★★★★★ Miss Katie is amazing , she is the first person to actually seem to connect with my practically non-verbal 2.5 year old !

Chris is so friendly and knowledgeable. He asks the right questions and really gets down to the core of what’s going on. He was able to come up with a treatment plan that was really tailored to what I needed and not just generic exercises based on a diagnosis. I truly felt cared for and he helped me tremendously. I would recommend Chris at Ivy Rehab in Caledonia to all of my closest family and friends and to anyone who wants to see results.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, Caledonia ★★★★★ Chris is a wonderful therapist. He took the time to put together a program that was specifically designed to me so I was able to return to a better and stronger version of myself. He is extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs physical therapy. I felt confident in his care and will return to him in the future. Thank you, Chris!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, Caledonia ★★★★★ I like my experience with ABC PEDIATRICS THERAPY, they explains everything with clarity and the evaluation was super fun 😁. We felt so welcomed and appreciated 👏Response from the ownerWe’re so thankful for your kind words and positive review! – The team at ABC Pediatric Therapy – West Chester Township ★★★★★ I’ve gone to many PTs in the course of fifteen years. It’s been exhausting trying to find treatment for my chronic pain that isn’t a short term fix. Manual work is hard to come by and all the exercises I’ve been told to do haven’t addressed the issues I’ve felt. After going through alternative medicine, getting an MRI and seeing chiros, pain management doctors several therapists and many ER visits for severe neck and shoulder pain, I was ready to give up. AK at Ivy has helped treat my pain in the course of 4 months. I was skeptical at first but I haven’t felt this normal and relief in so long. Its not a temporary fix either and I actually feel my body healing with the myofascial work hes done. Thank you for helping me and getting me to a point where I can turn my neck and not wake up several times in the night from all the pain. Thank you for putting your talents into helping people get better and feel better!Response from the ownerThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, NapervilleThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Naperville ★★★★★ I can’t say enough good things about the incredible team at Excel. Jon and his team helped my daughter so much with a shoulder injury. Jon not only helped her with her pain but was incredibly kind, encouraging, and supportive during her time at Excel. He came up with a treatment plan to help her get back to the sport she loves. They were always very accommodating of my daughter’s school and practice schedule when making her PT appointments. I am very grateful we found Excel PT and can’t recommend them highly enough.Response from the ownerThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★★ Staff is very polite and professional. From the front desk to the therapist were very helpful and informative. Definitely would recommend Ivy Rehab in Rhinebeck.Response from the ownerThank you for the great review, we really appreciate it! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Rhinebeck ★★★★★ Ivy rehab has been so helpful in PT needs. Connie goes above and beyond to help me with my therapy exercises and stretches. She has helped me in just two weeks of PT therapy. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Ivy rehab to anyone with PT needs.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Princeton ★★★★★ The team at this Progressive PT location treated me with care and thorough knowledge of what I needed after knee replacement surgery. My primary therapist, Christine, is the best letting me push towards recovery. Peter checked my performance each day carefully and with good humor. Tha ks to everyone.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share your experience, it means so much! – The team at Progress Physical Therapy, Philadelphia! ★★★★★ I went in for a knee injury that was preventing me from playing soccer. I ended up with Werner as my PT. He evaluated me and listened to my concerns. My first goal was to get back to kicking the ball, and my second goal was to avoid surgery. Werner took both of those seriously, and after 11 sessions, I can kick the ball again without any pain. Werner put together an effective plan that was part strengthening and part table work. He’s awesome and I highly recommend him.I have to say that the entire staff at the Hackensack location is awesome. Everyone is super friendly and attentive and really knows what they’re doing. They all take a sports-based approach to PT which I really appreciate. I think this is the big reason why I can kick the ball again and stay active.The facility is clean and well-equipped. Tables are always wiped down and prepared for the next patient. There’s a separate room where more of the dynamic therapy happens (in my case, a little 1v1 with Werner and sometimes Cosimo, another amazing PT). Overall, great results.Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Hackensack ★★★★★ I absolutely LOVE this place…I’ve had several surgeries and they helped me thru them all…and still currently attending ….Great people friendly and caring…and hard working….they get you in and put a smile on your face before you leave 🙂Response from the ownerThank you for your kind words, we appreciate your feedback! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Chesapeake – South Norfolk ★★★★★ I’m so incredibly thankful for Nikki and being able to apply for the UHCF grant. Without the grant, it would probably be impossible to provide my son with regular speech therapy, which he needs. Nikki has been very responsive, helpful, and supportive in helping me through all the ins and outs of the grant. My family and I are so grateful for ABC and all the ways that they have supported my son with special needs!Response from the ownerWe are so happy to help! Thank you for the kind words and trusting us in the care of your child! ★★★★★ I can’t say enough good things about Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to helping you recover. They take the time to explain each exercise and adjust the plan to fit your specific needs, making sure you’re comfortable and confident along the way.The facility is clean, well-equipped, and organized, and appointments always run on time. I’ve noticed real improvement since starting here, and I actually look forward to my sessions (which says a lot for physical therapy!).If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be treated like a person, not just a patient, Ivy Rehab is the way to go. Highly recommend!Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback! Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Island Park ★★★★★ Our son has received OT and Speech for years, but a little over a year ago we started services at Ivy in Canton. He has had so much progress at Ivy, adding several new foods (huge improvement!) and improving his fine motor skills. His speech has skyrocketed since starting at Ivy with new words, varying sentence structures, and much clearer speech. We are so glad we made the switch to Ivy Rehab in.Canton!Response from the ownerThank you so much for your positive feedback, it means the world to us! – The team at Ivy Rehab for Kids, Canton ★★★★★ Maximum Performance is a great place for PT.
