The team at Ivy Rehab has been amazing. Everyone is so friendly, positive and uplifting. Sarah Pichini has been my vestibular therapist and has been nothing short of amazing. From the first day I walked in there she did a comprehensive assessment to evaluate my situation and baseline and then put together a comprehensive plan to retrain my vestibular system. My recovery has been longer than I anticipated but Sarah has been there every session dialing into how and what I’m feeling to continuously adjust her program to get me back to stability. She’s extremely patient but at the same time has an assertive way about her to get you through the exercises to ensure you get the desired outcome. I’d see Sarah for any type of physical therapy, but when it comes to Vestibular therapy there is no one more knowledgeable, experienced and passionate that gets results.

Everyone at Ivy Rehab was incredibly helpful and kind during my time at physical therapy. Katie was excellent to work with and always took the time to answer all of my questions and give me additional feedback and always made me feel like I, and my health, were of utmost importance to her. I would highly recommend both Katie and the Ivy team to anyone needing PT and should I find myself needing help in the future know that I’ll be choosing to return!
1707442528
10/10 experience! I went in for a rotator cuff and bicep injury that had been lingering for a while. I saw Sarah, and in a number of sessions, my mobility and strength is pretty much back to 100%. I’ll continue to work on the movements at home with the exercises provided. Great facility and staff.

The entire staff at Ivy Rehab West Chester are very friendly, professional, and caring. You will feel like one of the team when you are there. I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Pachini and Matt Aitken and I cannot say enough amazing things about the treatment I received.Sarah was my primary PT. She is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on all the most recent research and treatment techniques, very professional, has a joyful personality, and a warm heart. I sustained a traumatic brain injury 5+ years ago and have seen numerous doctors and clinicians. She was able determine the reason why some of my symptoms are persisting and gave me explanations that no one has been able to in 5+ years. Sarah was able to really pinpoint the specific vestibular and balance exercises that were best for my recovery. I also had several orthopedic and gait issues, pretty much head to toe, that she helped me overcome. I am now able to exercise at a level that I never could before working with Sarah. In addition to her clinical expertise, Sarah took the time to explain my treatment plan and ensured I played an active role in our goals moving forward. She is a just a phenomenal and dedicated clinician.I also worked with Matt for TMD issues. He is kind and extremely knowledgeable and was able to figure out the cause of my discomfort. He was very patient and worked through several different exercises until we found what worked best. If I ever have any issues in the future, I will definitely go back to Sarah, Matt, and the Team at Ivy Rehab West Chester.

I began therapy at Ivy in September (back) and then again in February (neck). Jonathan worked with me on both issues.He worked to identify the cause of the pain and explained what he was doing and how it would to help alleviate the pain.I was educated with information and when I was discharged, given exercises to do at home, to prevent any problems.I would highly recommend the therapists at Ivy. All of them know their stuff to create a great treatment plan.

1676990686
May 2022I was experiencing numerous issues with head wooziness, concentration, balance, and ear ringing in March 2022, and was referred to Ivy for physical therapy. Katie spent considerable effort getting to know my exact set of conditions to work out a proper treatment plan. She was excellent at getting to the bottom of vestibular dysfunction and working to put me on a path to an improved quality of life. I had marked improvement in just a few weeks and a couple months later I was a different person. I still have ear ringing on and off, and on rare occasions I get a touch of vestibular issues, but through all the techniques I was taught it's manageable on most days. I highly recommend Ivy as Katie and the other physical therapists there are outstanding, they love what they do, and they really go the distance to get you well.

Jonathon Kritz in my opinion is an outstanding PT.He treats his patients with the utmost respect and compassion. He will go above and beyond when needed. He has changed my outlook, at a critical point in my life, to be much more aware of the benefits of healthy exercise and stretching.He knows the human anatomy very well-and uses this knowledge to the patient's benefit.
1668005887
Therapists are friendly, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain what each exercise will do to help you get stronger
1667828260
My total experience with Sarah was great. She always asessed my pain and then tailored my therapy to work on exercises that made my body and balance stronger. Reports we sent to my surgeon twice and then a final report sent my last day. I learned what I could do at home in between sessions. And I also want to thank Katie who covered for Sarah for a few sessions. Katie was on top of my recovery and also provided guided therapy to help my recovery. Both are very well versed in many areas of physical therapy. They both have positive attitudes and always provided positive encouragement on my recovery. I would definitely recommend Excel Physical Therapy located on Paoli Pike.
1667415668
My physical therapist, Jonathan, is awesome. He’s very caring & professional. I always leave Excel feeling much better then when I arrived.

Katie and the Excel/IvyRehab team have been an amazing resource to guide my physical rehabilitation from conditions I had accepted as status quo for far too long.A special shout-out to Shamus, who has a very promising future ahead of him. He is already exceptional.And Justin makes sure the office doesn’t miss a beat.This is the place to go when your body says things aren’t quite right. Listen to your body. And me.

After experiencing a brain stem stroke 5 years ago that left me with constant dizziness and lightheadedness I have been confined to a wheelchair because I am too much of a fall risk to use a walker. My previous experiences with physical therapy produced minimal results because none of my previous physical therapists felt I was capable of enough improvement to get me on my feet again. They gave me very limited PT and said that was all my brain injury would allow.I decided to give PT one last attempt at getting some independence back and after a lot of consideration I decided it would be at Excel in West Chester. When I met Sarah Pachini I was immediately welcomed by her friendliness and impressed with her knowledge of my condition, Wallenberg Syndrome. None of my previous therapists were familiar with Wallenberg Syndrome and as a result their therapy was identical as it would be for someone with a concussion and not a brain stem stroke. Sarah explained some of the balance training that would help me and gave me confidence that someone was finally going to give me the proper balance training I had not received before and her positivity that our work would produce results gave me the confidence I spent 5 years looking for.Sarah’s balance training was amazingly effective because she knew exactly the type of balance exercises that would address the parts of my brain that needed to relearn how to balance my body again. I was able to progress from standing and holding onto a bar to freestanding for steadily increasing amounts of time. Then it was standing on a cushion at the bar first with my hands and then without. Sarah’s belief that she could improve my balance was becoming a reality, it was the beginning of doing things no one else thought I was capable of doing but Sarah believed in me.We then introduced a rollator I brought with me into therapy, it was my goal to be able to walk independently with the rollator and be less dependent on the wheelchair. Due to the balance, strengthening and endurance training I was able to begin walking with the rollator and I was soon doing laps around the facility. The next big step was walking outside with the rollator, first short walks that increased to all the way around the shopping center. It was an unbelievable feeling to be walking again! I truly believe that the progress I have made would not have happened if I had not worked with Sarah. I have begun walking around my block at home and as we continue to working together I have no doubt it won’t be long until I am taking the rollator to restaurants, doctor’s appointments, visiting friends and all of my activities with the rollator and leaving the wheelchair at home.

1660661248
Sarah Pichini at Excel was wonderful, kind, and professional in helping me rehab from a concussion and whiplash. She explained the reasoning behind every exercise or procedure during treatment, kept me up to date with where I was in terms of progress, and created an environment for sessions that was welcoming. Can't thank her and excel enough for helping me recover from a nightmare(ish) situation. Highly recommend.
1660338375
I love Excel Physical Therapy at the West Chester location. All of the therapists are super knowledgable and friendly. I want to highly recommend my therapist Marissa to anyone coming off a recent injury, the plan that she put together for me helped me get back to my normal life much faster than my doctor expected through the right amount of challenge and rest. Thank you Marissa!!
