What we treat

Below on this page, you’ll find the full list of what we treat and the programs we offer.

This thorough examination allows us to better identify and eliminate all underlying causes so patients achieve lasting results.

Ivy Rehab (and Meryl Goldstein specifically) saved me. She is focused, empathetic, pragmatic and deeply knowledgable. She quickly zeroed in my on problems, worked up a strategy and helped me execute a sensible, doable plan to get me back in shape. So far, Meryl has rehabilitated my shoulder, my wife's foot and my sister's knees. Hope I never need PT again, but if I do I know who to see.

My PT, Anvi Patel, at Ivy Rehab is wonderful. She is professional and knowledgeable. I had a bad muscle injury on my leg from playing a sport. She helped reducing my pain significantly at the first visit. Then, we have been doing exercises and massages twice a week plus home exercises almost daily. My condition has been improved over time and is pretty much normal now. The place is nice, clean, relaxing and well equipped. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this place.

Anvi Patel is an excellent therapist! Every session was tailored to my comfort and progress, ensuring that I regained strength and flexibility for my sprained ankle. When I began my therapy, I had a significant pain, but now my ankle have got much better in terms of flexibility, mobility, and strength. Thank you, Anvi!

Quinn and the staff at Ivy rehab were able to provide me with an amazing PT experience! I came in because I was experiencing horrible pain on my knees and some lower back pain. My PCP recommended them and I am glad that they did. Quinn was able to work with me and made a plan that helped me get back on track. I was feeling much better in a few weeks. The rest of the staff was super friendly and always made for great conversation. I felt extremely comfortable with them and they were incredibly professional. They were also willing to work around my schedule too. I highly recommend them and I would gladly use them again if I have any other ailments that require PT!

Referred by Dr. Kristel Dow at Penn Orthopedics. I'm using Excel's 1608 Walnut St, Philadelphia venue. Jenny is a great listener as I explain 40 years of wear and tear on my knees from running and other outdoor activities and my goals for 8 weeks of sessions. She has a great feel for the pace at which to increase exercise resistance.

Meryl Goldstein is the best! So smart, dedicated, committed to finding out what's going on so she can help you feel better. She's amazing!

I recently "graduated" from PT at Excel for the second time and I will always come back to this clinic when I have PT needs. I used to see a chiropractor on a monthly basis with no end in sight to it, but stopped going for adjustments after I saw what PT and actual strength training could really do. The first time I went to Excel in 2019, I had just made a pretty big lifestyle change going from a commuter life in the suburbs to a pedestrian life in the city and my hips/knees gave me trouble with the transition. Tracy helped get me back on track with just a couple visits a week. Now, I needed to go back again because my hip issues resurfaced after a month or so of being extremely sedentary thanks to a rough first trimester of my pregnancy. Megan was very helpful getting me back into shape and also giving me a pelvic floor exercise and some tips to help me as I get through the rest of my pregnancy. The app you can download to get your assigned "homework" exercises is intuitive to use and I like that it has videos so I can make sure I'm doing something right. Every PT I've had is always super kind and personable, very patient and encouraging. Even when my dedicated PT was on vacation (they're allowed to do that!) and I had to meet with someone else for the week, I never felt like the quality of my care was different or lacking. This is a great place to go to get you back to wherever you feel you need to be with your body!

Dawson is an excellent physical therapist, a good listener with a compassionate heart. I came in with a chronic shoulder injury that worsened drastically by the time I saw him. I was in pain all the time, 24/7, all day every day. Dawson used a combination of manual and physical therapy to help manage my pain. He also guided my healing process very closely by checking in with me frequently, suggesting other modes of pain management but most of all, believing in my recovery process when I wanted to give up. Long story short, I am no longer in pain 24/7 and am back to doing what I love to do and more. He is very accommodating with scheduling. If you have an issue and you bring it to his attention, you can be rest assured, he will do right by you. I must have done something right to have had him as my physical therapist:) Thank you with all my heart.
