I am so happy to have found Meryl and Ivy Rehab. She is amazing with so much energy and such a positive attitude. For the first time in a long time, I feel optimistic that I will be able to effectively manage lower back pain. I can't recommend highly enough.

Ivy Rehab did wonders for my quality of life, and for someone who has mostly negative experiences with healthcare, it was refreshing to have people believe that my pain was real and could be treated. I have long-existing spinal problem exacerbated by desk work. It severely impacted my sleep and limited my physical activity for the last decade. Since, for the first time, I had insurance that would even begin to cover a non-injury specific issues, I went 2-3 times a week for two months and did the work outside of appts. It certainly wasn't easy or inexpensive, even with insurance, but my outcome was phenomenal and it's some of the most significantly positive healthcare i've ever received. Dan, Kelly, and Jihl were wonderful professionals and I genuinely appreciated their insights. I wish places like this could operate less like a business, and provide treatment to the people who need it most, but that's true of all US healthcare. But regardless of that, if you have the need, money, and time and are looking for a PT rehab, I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else. Thank you all! <3 Sam

Had a great experience. I was having issues with a sprained ankle from a few months ago and the team showed me exercises to help heal it properly. Saw a vast improvement in just a month.

My son has been in speech since 11 mo, OT for 1.5yrs, and PT almost 2. We resided appx. An hour from here up until April 2019 moved to Miamisburg. My son is now 3 going on 4 in August and had little progression in speech ( very hard to understand, not many words, mispronouncing, etc.) As well as unable to jump, posture poor, and fatigue extremely easy (hypotonia). Extremely hard to do common task, unable to follow simple directions, sensory issues to the point terrified of a swing or would get car si k on hour plus. Are rides. Again, little progression in any of those 3 areas. When we moved to this area I contacted ABC in Miamisburg and ask all about how to transfer services, etc. Sarah at the desk was very courteous and informative. Made the transition very easy. We were actively pursuing ABA because my son's aggression was extremely difficult to handle and he was harming himself and others children especially his siblings to the point I contemplated CPS. I was very reluctant to start back into 'therapies' because as his mom I had seen no progression at all and felt it was not very beneficial to him. ABA was a nightmare because of insurance, etc so O decided to just go ahead and restart pt,st,and ot here. BEST DECISION EVER!!! We have been coming weekly to st/ot (wait list for pt) and various pt appt since may 2019. My husband and I can not believe the change in our son!!! Even my mother noticed when comes to visit!!! My son now is putting 2 word phrases together, pointing at common objects, can sit still for a few min duration, jumps with both feet, loves to swing, knows colors, can count to 20, and is almost understandable over half the time! His aggression has went to almost nothing (except for sibling spats and normal child related fighting). I am amazed! He also says hello to random people and attempts to socialize!!! I just want to say that it is a day and night difference!!!! The therapist here are very professional, patient, kind, understanding and are willing to educate the patents. They make a very safe and inviting environment for the kids!!!! I wish we would have moved here sooner. At this time we are no longer persuing aba. The ot and slp have helped my son to improve communication to the point his frustration is not there and that in return reduced aggression!!!! RECOMMENDATIONS 100X for this center!!!!!

Maxium Performance Physical Therapy has helped the issue with my elbow within the first 4 visits. This Therapy place is amazing. The owners James and Paige along with their staff are amazing. Their place is so clean and spacious. Thank you all for taking great care of my ailments
Response from the owner:Hi Maria ! We are happy that your elbow is feeling better and that you are happy with the service we have provided thus far ! 🙂
Ivy Rehab Conshohocken is the greatest! I just finished a course of physical therapy for knee replacement and have completed rehabilitation there for other physical matters over the past four years. From reception and check-in to the technicians and therapists, all are courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and fully helpful. Adam, Emily and Tyler went beyond my expectations for physical therapy, treating the whole person and addressing the inter-relatedness of injuries to functions, feelings and well-being. I would never have thought of wound care for the incision, massaging it to break up scar tissue! I have not had a bad experience at other facilities, but am completely satisfied with treatment at this E. Hector Street branch of Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy. Full recovery!

From day 1 I've liked the atmosphere here at IVRehab in Farmville VA. The therapist and the receptionists makes you feel 🙏 so welcomed. Thank you Holly and Dyland, I don't think I would have found a place with people who makes you feel that " I'm glad I chose this beautiful place with an outstanding atmosphere." I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Thank you Dyland and Holly.

So easy to work with! Staff here is unremarkably some of the most down to earth yet professional people I have had the pleasure to be a patient of. Kyle, Haley and Brooklyn thank you so much for the last few months! Not only did your service help my back issues tremendously, you all were also not eager to count me as just another number! I wish Google would allow you to go higher than the 5 stars!

Ivy Rehab is a blessing to our family. My son has worked with several of their wonderful occupational therapists, and the care has been life changing for him. The improvement in his articulation has made leaps and bounds, since he has started. The staff has been amazingly helpful with paperwork. Highly recommend this practice.

My 6 year old son just graduated after a year of speech therapy! I had him evaluated because he just wasn’t making sounds correctly, to find out he basically didn’t know how to move his mouth to make different sounds. The love, care, and knowledge of the staff is amazing. The front desk staff is friendly and extremely helpful and the support staff truly have a gift for helping children!

Dr. Angelica Bicomong was AMAZING! I had a lower back injury after a car accident and some nerve damage in my hand/radial nerve. She was kind, thorough, and effective. I was shocked at how much I healed over my time at Ivy Rehab. Thank you, Angelica!

I have been to many PT places and this one is by far the best! Everyone is extremely kind, fun, and knowledgeable! They are truly interested in helping you achieve your goals and feeling better. I had the privilege of spending lots of time with Tyler, Bri, and all of the other amazing members of the team! Most people are usually happy to leave PT however everyone was so great thar I actually miss it!
