This is definitely the place to go if you have an injury or underlying problems. I suffered my first major injury to my shoulder in late August. I wasn’t able to raise my arm front to back or sideways more than a few inches with some pain and I was also in a shoulder sling. I then started treatment here in September and I have never felt better now that October is coming to an end. All the staff members and PT’s/DPT’s were all so kind, understanding, and knowledgeable of my condition and really made me feel welcome and gave me a feeling of comfort that I was getting help I needed. Everything was explained clearly and they helped you understand what was wrong, how it’s supposed to work , and how whatever exercises would help better your condition. The scheduling is also really nice.I had school during the time I had my sessions and they were able to give me a really time effective and suitable schedule that worked the best for me and the PT/DPT. Highly recommend to go to Excel.

The care that I've received at Excel in Livingston was exceptional by the entire staff. I was seen by the DPT, Andrew, who was attentive, caring, and patient. Andrew was very keen on making sure that my regimen was carefully tailored to my issues and progress. The team at Excel Livingston is highly recommended.

I came to excel/Ivy 2 weeks ago after enduring 6 months of severe neck and left shoulder pain including tingling and numbness down my arm. After one failed rehab, a failed epidural and multiple prescriptions of prednisone I came to meet Brandon and his team. From the second I sat down With Brandon I started to have a hope of recovery. He was patient, understanding and very knowledgeable about my condition. He put together a plan of action with specific exercises and an explanation of what we should expect from the process.After 2 weeks I have significant reduction of pain. I fell asleep last night without any pain (just slight tingling in the arm). This is the first time since Oct of 22 that I have been able to do this.I was referred by a friend who spoke very highly of Brandon and his team and I now want to share my experience as well to any and all sufferers of back pain.

The staff there brought me to a success that I could not accomplish at 2 other facilities. They are patient as well as forward moving. I will miss my friends/therapist/assistants. Highly recommend Brandon and company.

If you need physical therapy, this is the place to come. Due to various issues I've been a "repeat offender" here over the past three years.The facility is modern, clean and very well equipped. Scheduling is easy and efficient.My wife and I as well as her sister and husband have all been working for a number of months with a PT named Brandon. He is absolutely outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. I view my sessions with him as another form of training (I see a trainer in a gym twice a week) rather than simple rehabilitative exercises. He has enabled me to get outdoors and pursue the running, hiking and cycling I enjoy without pain and more effectively than before. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing PT.

I have been seeing Physical Therapists at Livingston Excel Physical Therapy since October of 2022 for various issues including neck and hip. Therapy has been very helpful and allows me to continue my daily activities which includes workouts with a trainer and visits with Grandchildren. Most recently I have been seeing Brandon, my Physical Therapist, in Livingston. I have referred several others to him as he has been so helpful to me.

My experience at Excel Physical Therapy in Livingston was very positive. The facility is roomy, clean, masks are required, and this gives me peace of mind. I had PT after hip replacement surgery and found the PT staff members friendly and helpful. In particular, Brandon, who helped with my recovery through intensive strength and stretching exercises. Brandon is a knowledgeable, caring, attentive and encouraging professional.He closely assessed my progress during each session, offering very helpful advice. You would be fortunate to have Brandon and his able team as your physical therapist .

Visited for sport injury(s). Bree, Will, and SJ were excellent. Listened and developed a personalized program for rehab. I left the sessions much more cognizant of my lower body and most importantly with a plan/routine for injury prevention. Thanks Again!

Brianne O’Connor was extremely helpful! She really cares about her patients and is very knowledgeable when it comes to injuries/pain. In my situation I hurt multiple parts of my body and she was able to guide me on what I need to do during and outside of PT to help with my pain. Definitely recommend! Her patient interaction is great and you could tell every patient liked her in the room.

I’ve been working with Amani for about a month now for a fractured knee. Amani has a lot of patience and is very encouraging. I went in with a wheelchair and this week, I’m walking with a cane. She’s very knowledgeable and explains the exercises. Aides are keeping everything clean and making sure we have our equipment to work on our exercises.

Have been a regular for almost two years and the staff in livingston has been tremendous!!! They have made my recovery 100%. I can’t give them enough credit. Especially Stephanie, Caitlin, Frank and most of all Emani. I also need to say not keeping Jocelyn as an aid was a big mistake. She’s missed by a lot of patients already. Overall great place for Rehab

The entire team at Excel Livingston led by Caitlin Corridi is outstanding. After two knee replacements with unique issues and pain, Caitlin listened to my goals and created a recovery plan custom tailored to me and developed a plan of exercises targeted to my issues. It is because of her wonderful quality of care, attention to patient needs/desires and follow through that I am walking pain free. Without her I would not have the mobility and quality of life that I do.Joslyn, Ike and Scott guided me through the recovery process of my exercises, provided emotional support and reinforced Caitlyn’s focus. They are all incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.Thank you Caitlin for changing my life and getting me through the past few months.

My Therapist, Sarah, is knowledgeable, and pleasant, and provides clear information regarding procedures and expectations. She provides positive feedback and encouragement and displays an impressive understanding of anatomy and corrective procedures. I feel I am experiencing positive results with each therapy session. All assistant technicians are cooperative, alert to provide assistance, and continually check regarding my welfare and how I am feeling. I have participated in therapy at several other providers, and Excel has far surpassed all others. I am very pleased with Excel’s services.

I can’t say enough about Excel PT. The entire staff is super nice and they take a ton of pride in what they do. I had the privilege of working with both Stephanie and Frank on my shoulder rehab and felt like I was truly in great hands. I progressed even quicker than my predicted recovery timeline and they actually make going to physical therapy fun and enjoyable!

My heartfelt thanks to the Livingston Excel Physical Therapy -in particular, my therapist, Stephanie Szeliga- for the excellent care I received during my most painful moments. Because of the team's expert and patient treatment of my shoulder fracture, I am now on my feet and feeling great! I highly recommend this place : clean, compliant with CDC guidelines, and staffed by wonderful people.

I had the best experience with Caitlyn at Excel in Livingston. She came highly recommended by my shoulder surgeon. The exercises were challenging but never painful. I also enjoyed her hands on therapy - again, I felt the stretching was never to the point of pain. The way Caitlyn massaged my whole shoulder area was SO rejuvenating. I looked forward to it every week and miss it now that I've graduated. Caitlyn kept me laughing the whole time which was therapeutic in and of itself! I am happy to say I am 100% functional and graduated "ahead of the pack" according to my surgeon! I'd highly recommend Caitlyn to everyone for successful healing!

I am thriving because of Excel PT. The care I have received from the Livingston staff has been above and beyond. The personalized stretching and strength exercises have made me so much stronger, and I am almost 100% recovered from my cervical fusion. The protocols they have in place for following guidelines in the pandemic have given me peace of mind. I have recommended Excel to family and friends and they are so thankful because they are now on a road to recovery as well.

I was very comfortable at Excel. Everyone there is friendly and nice. They utilize all the appropriate COVID protocols, constantly cleaning and sanitizing. My shoulder feels a lot better too. I am done my therapy and will not hesitate to go back if I ever need anything else.
