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.

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.

I was recommended by my orthopedic surgeon to visit Excel following my ACL reconstruction surgery. The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. My physical therapist, Sarah Pichini, helped me with a speedy and thorough recovery. Furthermore, she educated me on numerous ways to strengthen my knee, as a result, bosu balls are a permanent aspect of my new training regimen :)10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for a lasting, and significant recovery.

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.

1665677295

Went to Exel in West Chester. I had back problems that need physical therapy. Marissa was my PT. On a one to ten I give the firm a 10!!! Highly recommend that facility. Lou G

1663267971

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.

Thank you Marissa!!

Thank you Marissa Garguilo, PT, DPT of Excel Physical Therapy, West Chester for always going the extra mile! Everyone at Excel has been professional, helpful and encouraging along what could have otherwise been an incredibly daunting road towards recovery. Excel's opportunity for continuous, "one-on-one" therapy for the duration of my treatment plan has been a breath of fresh air! This location is convenient, and its staff has always been flexible with finding appointment times to fit my schedule. You love what you do and it shows! Love my therapist, Marissa! Thank you!

I had a great experience with Excel Physical Therapy! Everyone is very nice, welcoming and supportive.

They were very flexible in scheduling and willing to work around my ever-changing work schedule.

He took the time to explain the pain and the recovery strategies for me. I would HIGHLY recommend this place and for PT overall. It exceeded all expectations. Thank you team!

I worked with Jonathan for about 6 months recouping from an achilles repair. He was awesome. Not only did he get me back to a level where I was before the surgery, but he actually got to know me along the way. There are few injuries as difficult as coming back from an achilles tear. I am a highly competitive athlete who needed to get back to my sports regime both for leisure and for work and he made it happen. He pushed me when I needed pushing, and laid off when I needed more time. To this day if I have a question or want to run something by him (related or not to the achilles) he is happy to talk with me. I also have a Kinesiology degree and PT background so I am more than familiar with that general landscape and working with people in this field. Jonathan was excellent. I would recommend him over and over again.

1640023092

I i’m very happy to share that I had a wonderful experience with Lauren at Excel physical therapy. The process was seamless, the staff were very professional, and Lauren was exceptional. I very much appreciated the time she spent teaching me about my injury and my role in getting better and maintaining the healthy condition. Thank you all!

1637342778

Great environment, not over crowded. The PT’s are very good. Lauren Smith did a great job and was always prepared with something new, more challenging to try. I have used other PT facilities but I found Excel to truly fit my needs.

1637246104

I went in with an ankle badly weakened from decades of sprains. Over a number of weeks Lauren helped build my strength back and give me confidence to use my ankle the way I used to. Thank you!

1634725746

This is my third go-round with Excel Physical Therapy. This time I worked with Sarah. And, once again, I received excellent care.As you can see, I like this practice so much that I always return! I highly recommend Excel PT for all your therapy needs.

1634675169

Amazing staff and front desk people and most importantly physical therapist who are knowledgeable, who really listens and cares.

1632049871

I went to Excel two years ago because I read the reviews online; It’s true...they are on time, flexible w/scheduling, caring and really care about your PT needs. It became necessary for me to return in June of 2021 for a knee injury due to playing pickle ball. Sarah Pichini was my most recent therapist in West Chester Excel. She did an excellent job of diagnosing my knee issue and was very attentive to point out what I was doing incorrectly to cause the problem. She also recommended quad strengthening exercises in order to support the necessary corrections.She was very flexible with her schedule and 100% satisfied my health concerns! I highly recommend any one of the therapists in the West Chester Excel location.Laura Sansalone

The people are warm, caring, funny and STRONG lol. I am blessed for having found them! I was going for one thing specifically and the mentality of "there's more to fix than just that so that what brought you here doesn't happen again" and the care they are giving is phenomenal! Also the facility is very clean and appointments are very well spaced! They are also following all Covid rules explicitly.Couldn't say better things about the place and the staff!

1599694823

Lauren’s a rock star! She’ll figure out what you need to fix pain and get back to living.

1594609883

My therapist was Jonathan Kritz and he truly helped me after my car accident. He was very patient with me and always focused on the issues I had, but also finding new ways to help my problems. You always leave feeling better and accomplished. You wont be disappointed with Excel physical therapy, their staff, or their qualified PT.

1578580907

Super friendly & knowledgeable staff. Everyone in the office treats you very nicely, regardless of whether or not they are your provider.

An excellent experience. As an active dancer in the arts, I am an avid PT recipient. I normally travel 50 minutes to another PT venue for years.... Then I tried Excel PT in WC. I landed Eric and WOW! He truly cares so much about healing his clients, helping them in every possible way. Excellent overall experience here thus far as I enter my 8th week. Highly recommend Eric without reservation.

I was referred to Excel from my chiropractor last year. I was lucky enough to get Amy Gabriel. She is compassionate and professional. She was the first person to actually make a difference in my life since my car accident. I already had an existing back issue and the accident set me back further than before.This care was personalized for me. I had the same person every time I went. I actually felt stronger for the first time in years. The atmosphere is warm and comforting. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Amy and Excel.

Excel was a blessing to me from the moment I called them. Ann set me with up with an appointment with Ed and I started treatment for my shoulder injury right away. Ed was wonderful - very knowledgeable, professional, and such a joy to work with (we laughed a lot!). I saw improvement very quickly and my PT was a success. Mary and Ann both always greeted me with kindness. Never did I think I would actually miss going to PT! I really enjoyed talking with everyone there. A great team of people and I highly recommend them.

I would recommend the whole team to anyone looking for well thought out exercises and consistent results!
