I’ve always chosen Back in Action after two knee replacements and had no trouble at all. Now I have neuropathy in my feet and dizziness when I walk. John is helping me a lot! Before I moved here I went to PT at a different place and Back in Action is ten times better than what I received at that other place. So…

I have been coming to Ivy Rehab/Back In Action for approximately 4 full years—different body parts involved—2 of which have had total joint replacements—Dr Rachel Gatch has done everything both in preparation and strengthening prior to my surgeries to helping me move after surgery in a very comfortable way. -she has even been there to hold my hand and encourage me when some days were harder than most!—everyone needs a “ Rachel”! Also I would like to mention Danielle Sauer who help me with scheduling and rescheduling at times-she always has a smile and is ready to help each person who walks through the door. Believe me, it is really nice to be acknowledged by someone who represents the people who are there to help you. Thank you Back in Action-I share good reviews about your group with my family and friends all the time.

I recently broke my leg, tore my ACL, meniscus, and damaged my LCL. When I started PT, I could not bend my leg and the swelling and pain was pretty significant. Jonathan has been working with me to reduce swelling, and pain and increase mobility and strength. He has been wonderful to work with and is very kind and understanding. He explains everything he is doing and why he is doing it and I’m so much better. I have a very active lifestyle and surgery is not an option for me. The opportunity to work with Jonathon has encouraged me and made me feel like I could return to my previous way of life. I actually look forward to physical therapy! Highly recommend Back in Action and especially Jonathan Dickinson.
