Excellent4.8★★★★★ review us on ★★★★★ I feel like I got the best possible care. Cameron and Carrie were my therapist. I loved them both and they got me back on track after knee replacement. The ladies at the front desk always greeted me with a smile and Heather went above and beyond to get my appointments. Coming here for my therapy was a great experience. ★★★★★ The crew at Ivy Rehab Kokomo are amazing! Each therapist tagged teamed my needs and kept my progress moving forward. The four therapists had a different treatment style and method that ultimately worked in challenging me during my sessions. I’m going to miss our weekly banters.

Through evaluation, he identified the source of my shoulder pain and developed a progressive plan to get me back to normal function with no pain. He explained the “why” behind my pain, along with what and how to strengthen and lengthen the supporting structure.

The team is incredibly professional, and my experience there has been outstanding. My main physical therapist, Chandre, is absolutely wonderful—my body is so thankful for his expertise and care.I suffered a stroke over 20 years ago and have had to do physical therapy consistently ever since to maintain my mobility. As a result of the stroke, I experience pain and gait issues, but Ivy Rehab has been a game changer for me. Since working with Chandre and the team, my pain has decreased significantly, and my gait has improved, which has also helped prevent lower back pain and waist discomfort.Chandre has been exceptional in his approach, always attentive and knowledgeable, and the other physical therapists I’ve worked with are equally helpful and have great bedside manners. The manager (whose name I’ve unfortunately forgotten) is also wonderful—very personable, responsive, and always willing to help.I highly recommend Ivy Rehab to anyone in need of physical therapy. They are truly dedicated to helping their patients feel better and live more comfortably.Response from the ownerThank you for sharing this with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Naperville ★★★★★ Tanner was instrumental in my success at Ivy.
