First, I have to say thank you to my PT specialist, Rachel Sonenblum. Without her I do not feel I…read morecould have gotten as far as I've come with my recovery. In October 2024 I had total knee replacement surgery (TKR). This surgery is a traumatic surgery and for some can be grueling mentally, physically, and emotionally. One major component that played a huge role in my surgery is both pre and post physical therapy. I have always believed that PT is crucial for major surgery recovery and I treat PT like a job that I want to succeed in. Why Pre-Surgery PT before a TKR? Everyone knows to be healthy and in good condition before TKR. Pre-Surgery gets your knee stronger, period end of story. Rachel was able to take measurements, we worked my quad and all aspects of the leg. I would highly recommend investing in pre-surgery PT as it will help with post-surgery recovery. Why Post TKR Surgery PT? Well, it's simple, after surgery they have you 'walk' and you can 'walk' because you have a nerve block and can't feel a thing - literally nothing. They just want to make sure the knee can move before you leave the surgical center. Once that nerve block wears off the 'fun' begins. There will be pain (for some severe), bruising, possible lack of sleep due to pain, possible constipation because of the narcotics, and overall it's a great time. My top three things that have got me through the first few weeks: My ice machine, a strong support system, and PT. You literally can't bend or straighten the leg. As soon as you can, go to PT. For me it has been so important and working with Rachel and doing my exercises at home have really helped. You'll see slow progress but stick with it. Rachel, thank you for your support, for pushing me just enough, for listening to me with caring ears, for being my cheerleader, and for being so dedicated to your profession.

When I say that Sarah Sheridan changed my life, I'm not exaggerating…read more I was diagnosed with an incurable debilitating condition called POTS in 2021. My doctor suggested that I try physical therapy to help improve my symptoms. I was very skeptical at first - after all I went from being a very active person to not even being able to walk for 5 minutes without symptoms. But, I gave it a shot. Now, after 9 months or so of PT, I'm back to walking 10k steps without symptoms and am getting back on my Peloton bike after years of not being able to!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the POTS program to anyone suffering with this illness. Sarah is kind, patient, upbeat, understanding, and a constant cheerleader. She pushes you but not TOO hard that you want to stop. I started seeing results in a couple of months after doing the protocol. Today, I graduated. Not only is Sarah wonderful, the rest of the staff is too. They are all helpful, always with a smile. Make sure you schedule early and often because Sarah books up fast!!

Good reviews?! one was from the OWNER HIMSELF and another from someone with his same last name! How many other friends and family are writing reviews? Mike, the owner, was almost 10 minutes late for our first session. Second session, he reviewed and manipulated very little then, he had to "move some things", left with a dolly and I didn't see him for easily 25-30 minutes. Third session, he also reviewed and did very little manipulation, but then again I was on my own. I left when time was up with no closure from Mike because he was working with another patient. Each time I was there, Mike told me that the way I walk was causing my ortho problems and he imitated me in an exaggerated way that wasn't helpful in my understanding the problem and figuring out how to improve it. It just made me feel very uncomfortable honestly.

Dr Tyler Dolan DPT & Natalie Moghadas PTA are such a great combination, that after 37 total…read moresessions, I'm complementing them for their combination as a team. They both think creatively and come up with stretching exercises to address your situation "on the spot," beyond what is in their online stretching resources manual. Tyler was #1 in his DPT graduating class, and it shows! He got an A or A+ in anatomy, is very attentive, instructive, and checks how I feel almost every exercise I do, listens like a pro. Compassion seems to be his middle name, Natalie's too. Although she's cuter, gray is his favorite color. She's also studying for a Masters in Health Care Management, so is often off on Fridays. Tatiana is very efficient, insurance co.procedures knowledgeable,and focused in check in. With free plenty of free parking, a small drug store and Quest Diagnostics lab on the first floor and an Arlington nature center in the forest right behind the building, where you could walk to have a bag lunch at a picnic table or a tour of exhibits, on a street without heavy traffic, you won't do better elsewhere!

After a disappointing experience with a huge ortho practice rehab, and needing continued PT, I…read moreresearched and asked neighbors for recommendations and selected Ivy Rehab in Arlington. Ivy was the only place that would guarantee the availability of short-term daily PT as requested by my surgeon (and covered by insurance). I was extremely fortunate to have treatment by Gregory B., who provided skilled, patient, effective care (no handing off to exercise technicians). He paid attention, answered questions thoroughly, made suggestions for different approaches, and was very kind and patient. The staff are diligent about cleaning surfaces, and the receptionists are excellent at handling appointments and other requests. There is plenty of parking, which is comped by Ivy. In addition to "routine" PT, the practice also offers other helpful treatment, such as dry needling - which helped me almost immediately - and for Meniere disease (vertigo). The vibe is excellent, not too crowded nor too loud and everyone is friendly and helpful.

My therapist, Marco, is FANTASTIC!! He's so knowledgeable and takes his time. Also, he's a miracle worker!!

Furthermore, they understand my goals of getting back to the gym and my normal fitness level and are progressing me toward that!!
