I’ve never had physical therapy before, so perhaps I can’t compare, but I was a little nervous about what kind of pain would be involved. There was a little pain, at first, but it didn’t matter as much since my therapist and the entire staff are all so gentle, sympathetic, encouraging, professional, friendly, funny and so very nice. But you will get a workout, which is what you’re there for. After a couple of visits, the exercise became a lot more fun because the staff is always ready with a joke or a smile, or many ongoing discussions over a soccer game, etc., that you forget that PT sometimes hurts. I’m coming up to the last two weeks of my six and will miss every last one of the Ivyrehab staff. And they’ve encouraged me to keep exercising. Because the body part I went there to strengthen is now«jacked.» I could not recommend this facility more highly. I wish I could keep going!
