I have nothing but great things to say about this location and my PT, Jo Haller! I have worked with Jo for multiple injuries over the past 3 years and couldn’t be happier. She is kind, professional, knowledgeable and understanding. She adapts each session depending on how I feeling and what I need to meet my short and long-term goals. I have seen huge improvements in my injuries and no longer have any pain.This location is very convenient withstreet parking and has great hours. It’s in a beautiful, remodeled building with lots of space and light. I’ve never had an issue getting an appointment time that works for my schedule. Things were very simple when setting up a consultation and the staff handled working with my doctors and my insurance. Everyone is so friendly- it really feels like a family environment!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. I’ve been having intense sciatic pain for the past two months. Zach and Kavita have me on an exercise regimen that has eased the discomfort greatly within a few sessions. I couldn’t be happier with these early results.

I had such a wonderful experience at Excel/Ivy Rehab in Northern Liberties. Jo was an amazing PT. She was personable, very communicative, and quick to figure out what was causing the pain in my knee and prescribe easy exercises to do at home in addition to the work we did together. It was also always easy to get an appointment for the days/times that worked best for me. My knee is feeling like new and I'm so grateful! I would highly recommend this location, and Jo specifically, if you are in need of PT services.

I came to Excel after starting with a different PT business further north on 2nd. I could tell fairly promptly that I wasn’t going to get the attention and expertise that I wanted from that other place and cancelled my ongoing appointments. Another wellness professional recommended Excel and from start to finish they, especially Zach J, were top notch. Very well informed, good listeners and observers, and really helped me to speed my healing and strengthen my ailments. Highly recommend!

Chase and the amazing staff at Excel Physical Therapy - Northern Liberties were able to assist me in getting a proper treatment plan for my knee injury and I was able to get back to running and playing basketball within a month. I’d recommend him to any looking for an experienced professional with terrific personable skills.

Highly recommended. My PT, Chase, is highly knowledgeable and thorough in explaining everything. I've had great results in less time than I expected. Everyone at this beautiful facility is friendly and helpful.

I came to Excel Physical Therapy (Northern Liberties) after a round of PT at another place and wasn't feeling so great about my lack of progress. Jo was assigned to me and it was such a great experience. She was engaged, intelligent, and worked at my own pace. The level of professionalism, experience, and continuing knowledge was great. I've made a lot of strides and highly recommend.

Dr. Jo Haller is an absolute rock star who I have worked with twice, targeting two different problem areas. The first was my shoulder, which I injured while bench pressing. After working with Jo, I was pain free with an improved range of motion, and she taught me techniques for safer lifting and stabilization exercises for my shoulder.I went back to Jo for an issue I was having with my SI joint on the right side. This was an injury I sustained almost 2 years ago, and which had recently flared up. Jo discovered the root cause of the injury immediately and set up a core stabilization exercise regimen for me. Within a month I was able to eliminate the pain on command and could actually get back to deadlifting. I never thought I would be able to eliminate the pain in that area, and I can say that Jo's treatment really improved my quality of life.If you are considering a physical therapist, Excel Physical Therapy is a great shop, and Jo Haller is an exceptional PT.

Amazing experience going into these PT sessions with a helpful, caring team! The physical therapists really know what they are doing and made the rehabilitation process smooth and efficient. They are kind, flexible and provide great 1-on-1 sessions. I feel better than I had in a long time. They also keep in touch afterwards to make sure I’m feeling ok. Highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to strengthen themselves after surgery.

I had a tremendous experience with Excel therapy at the Northern Liberties location working to rehab my lower back after injuring it lifting weights. Zachary was extremely accommodating, caring and not only helped me make a full recovery, but gave me tools and knowledge to return to physical activity stronger than I was before. It was very easy to set up appointments that fit with my schedule and the facility was very well kept. As someone who had never been to physical therapy before, the experienced exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend Excel and the treatment that they provided.

Jo is fantastic! After working with her for two months, I no longer have knee pain while working out. Would recommend. Beautiful location to practice physical therapy, absolutely dedicated and knowledgeable physical therapists, and an overall a very rewarding experience.

I highly recommend Excel Physical Therapy in Northern Liberties. Jo was knowledgable and experienced, working to ensure the process was positive and I was achieving the results we set to achieve. Throughout the process she was communicative and shared why each exercise was important and what area of the body it was targeting. Not only did my comfort improve, but I strengthened surrounding muscles for long term results. Thanks Excel - NL and JO!

Excellent experience overall with Excel, specifically with Jo. This was my first time going to PT, and Jo was clear with goal setting and expectations from the beginning and throughout my months at PT for my knee. She was friendly, professional, and encouraging throughout. PT was rightfully challenging at times (obviously given the nature of what you're doing and why you're there), but Jo was a great motivator to get me through it. She pushed me to try more repetitions or higher weights of certain exercises and understood when I needed to back off a little bit. She explained the purpose of exercises and stretches I was doing in way that was easy for me to understand. By the end of my time at PT, I didn't really want to leave because I enjoyed my time going to PT - weird to say, but it's true. My knee felt significantly stronger, and I continue to utilize the tips and exercises Jo provided me. I am able to resume the activities I couldn't do previously without pain for the most part and even when I do experience some pain with those activities, I know how to deal with it a lot better - or at least know which is right kind of pain to experience and what isn't. Two or three months of PT won't reverse an injury that took years to develop, but Jo provided me with the tools and foundation to improve and because I have clearly seen the benefit of PT, I know I can get to a much better place now if I stick to the plan Jo laid out for me. I am so thankful to have gone to PT and to have worked with Jo - it was such a positive experience and Jo was the main reason for that. In addition, the front-house staff were helpful in setting up and changing appointments (it was really easy) and dealing with insurance issues. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

I had a fantastic experience working with Excel, post surgery. Jo had a plan tailored to my specific needs and condition, and was always happy to answer any questions I had. Over several weeks, she was able to get me back to my everyday routine. Excel and Jo were also very accommodating with my schedule, including a reschedule or two. They're my definite go-to for any future Pt. Highly recommended

I had a very tough recovery after my MPFL repair and Joe was very willing to work with me and meet me where I was as well as pushing me to do better. Highly recommend!
1628706771
I highly recommend Excel in Northern Liberties! Jo is a very knowledgable, experienced, and energetic PT. She helped me build strength and resolve my back pain in about 6 weeks. She is excellent at motivating patients and explaining the exercises. Excel is a very well equipped and well run place, and it was always a pleasure to be there working with Jo. Thanks so much!

I had a great experience working with Jo (and Joe). I came in with a neck injury and wasn't able to lift or even do basic things around the house. But after two months of working with Jo, I've regained strength and range of motion and almost eliminated my pain. I appreciated how Jo listened to my goals and helped put me on the road to lifting heavy weights again. Thanks Excel!
1625506252
Excel Northern Liberties is an excellent place to get the help you need. Staff was very helpful and pleasant, and the place was well equipped, clean and ample. I worked with Joe Leone and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He developed an at home regimen and in person sessions that greatly alleviated my chronic back pain. I feel stronger and able, and that is priceless. Thank you!

I have been working with Joey for about a month now and I have nothing but splendid things to say about her and my experience with Excel. I came with a low expectation of what I would get out of PT and I can already say I feel stronger and more confident in using my ankle. Joey is personable and warm and is truly a great PT. I highly recommend her and the NL Excel team to anyone.
1620341668
I just finished almost 2 months of physical therapy, and I’m now able to hike, walk, stand for longer periods of time without lower back pain! My therapist Josephine helped me strengthen my core and my back. I made way more progress than I thought I would. Jo is friendly, positive, and very encouraging. Good vibes in this place and very conveniently located for me. Somehow I never had trouble finding parking - my appointments were always 7 am or 6 pm. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
1619544101
I’ve enjoyed my time at Excel. My therapist, Jo, is very professional and takes me seriously, never judging and pushing all the right ways to help address my physical concerns. She has them nearly resolved more quickly than I thought possible. When I have concerns she takes them into consideration and we work together to direct my rehab. The environment is peaceful and clean, and — this is very important to me — everything is wheelchair accessible. (Philadelphia is not very accessible, so this is exceptional.) I highly recommend this practice.
1617109942
I have only been working with Josephine for a few weeks, but It has been a very pleasant experience. She is passionate about what she does. She explains the goals of my exercises and the reasons for doing them in great detail, which really helped me to understand how to do everything correctly and efficiently. I highly recommend her and Excel Northern Liberties.
1617043499
Highly recommend Excel PT in Northern Liberties! Joe is professional and knowledgeable, and worked with the goal for me to be able to transition out of PT. Definitely check out Excel!

Joe Leone was an excellent therapist who’s tough regiment and kind laugh helped me get through my ACL rehab. As a former athlete, I wanted someone who could push me and help me on my path to recovery. Joe dialed up my workouts and routines to help me build up more than my knee. He helped my glutes, abs, and overall muscular fitness. Solid dude, better therapist would recommend.

Joe Leone, of Excel, has been my therapist for two separate issues over the past two years. He is a pleasure to work with and encouraged me even when I was not happy with my own progress. He is a top-notch therapist and very knowledgeable in his field. Joe always made sure that I understood the reason for each exercise and goal during my therapy, so that I did not ever want to slack off. I would highly recommend Joe, he is a super star.
