I am so fortunate that a friend recommended I see Anita. I have been in almost constant pain for…read moreover 8 months. I've had a strange abdomen, rib/back muscular issue that months of other P.T. , massage, M.D.s and chiropractors have been unable to help me with. I've spent countless hours and 10's of dollars trying to find pain relief. Anita took the time to give me an evaluation and assessment that was thorough. Her numerous years of experience, as well as her desire to help , provided me with some immediate relief. I have been to her 3 times and feel like I'm , more than, 50% improved. Of course I will continue seeing her, as well as practicing the home exercises that are so helpful. Her vast knowledge of anatomy, breath work and postural training have helped me modify daily patterns, in my life, that were sabotaging my previous progress. Highly recommend this therapist who is caring, compassionate and very skilled.

When you walk into the waiting room there's about four plush leather chairs to sit and relax in while you wait. The place seems pretty new, it's spacious to do different types of exercises. There's a wall of mirrors, lots of different types of machines, patient tables lined up, and they also have private rooms to treat certain patients with certain request like me, women's health. The Physical Therapist that I'm seeing is Rebecca Johnson. I absolutely love this lady! They have a nice website and you can see the PTs and their bios too. She's a very nice lady, friendly, and she listens to you. She specializes in women's health (certification as a Functional Manual Therapist™ through the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) which I'm looking for! Keep in mind, it's more than a PT session for me. I felt like I was at my OBGYN office. In the Philippines, there are special healers that does manipulation of soft tissues and organs called Heliot. And I've found someone whose pretty close to what I need and her name is Rebecca. If you have reproductive, bladder, hip, or even stomach issues, just several visits with her, she can really get the job done! I feel like she has healing hands, seriously! I've been to another PT office years ago for a knee injury and all I got out of it was sessions with a PT watching me doing exercises which I thought it would be the same thing here, but I was wrong thank goodness! Rebecca taught me how I should sit in front of my computer, she educates me on certain clothing that I shouldn't wear that could impact my female organs, and she even taught me how to "walk" again...the right way. Who knew, really I'm not walking correctly!?! I get a lot out of my 1 hour sessions sometimes it's longer depending on my treatment that day or how long of time I have. I like that they show me what I need to do at home (my exercises program) the right way, thanks cause I'm NOT going to remember all of that when I get home! I like the fact she has late hours too that I can see her after work. She has other folks who work with you during your therapy as well. It's a great team effort. So, if you want more than just a PT watching you do exercises on a machine for an hour, get your moneys worth and check this place out! Your body will thank you for it:)

Bad Medical Practice (you may want to read this monologue)…read more To begin with, I am a Ph.D. Neuroscientist who have trained many doctors. On 6th April I had an appointment with Laura Valentine, DPT. During the time of the appointment, I was told by Dr. Valentine that a student (an intern) will be doing "most of the therapy" and she would be there to keep an eye on. I was OK with the plan, as being a Professor in a medical school this is common practice. While I was there I realized Dr. Valentine had another patient during the same time and she started working with that patient. Something we typically call "double booking". That was the first red flag. The remaining of my session which included the all-important musculoskeletal exam was just with that intern, which Dr. Valentine never counter-examined. At the end of the session, she mentioned I would be mainly handled by the intern. I was clearly unhappy with the way things were happening. However, I still wanted to continue with the remaining sessions. Day 2: I was greeted by that intern and the entire session was by her. Dr. Valentine dropped in, only to say that she had a busy day and she is taking care of patients who needs pelvic therapy. Any patient in my place would perceive as that another patient actually needs her attention and I could be taken care of by an intern. So, I did not see Dr. Valentine at all! I had a condition, which neither Dr. Valentine nor the intern could sense well. Still the intern tried manual manipulation and in doing that she made my condition a lot worse. So worse, that I had to immediately go back to my specialist. Being in the medical profession for 12 years, I have never seen a clinical center as irresponsible as Body Gears, Wheaton! If you see the "Plan of Care" you would realize even that is not signed by Dr. Valentine. It is signed by an intern with "SPT" credential, assuming that is "Student PT". In any serious medical business that will be counted as medical MALPRACTICE. I have blurred out the student PT's signature, to protect her identity. I still feel this is not something I could hold the intern responsible for, this is rather a complete lack of seriousness in Body Gears in treating patients.

I called to make appointments and the receptionist was so nice and polite she made so easy and schedule four appointments to meet our schedule. Upon arrival we were greeted and promptly help. I did forget to bring the secondary insurance and asked them if I can fax it to them they assure me no problem bring it next time. At the waiting area they have new magazines. I like that a lot because I don't like reading old outdated magazines. The receptionist are so nice and courteous that is welcoming. The rehabilitation service here at CDH on the fifth floor offers physical, occupational and speech service and also they have the pediatrics section at the same floor. I noted that the facilitators are specially nice to the kids that come for their therapy. The staff cares so much for the elderly too. As I was waiting for my husband to go in a patient was waiting for the person to wheel him down to his parking place. The receptionist was very polite to him making sure he was well accommodated and saying jokes to him very sweet of her. The appointments are right on schedule and the therapist that was late for the seniors did called that he was stock on traffic and apologized for his delayed. The receptionist make it so easy they print out the schedules and give you a folders for your personal therapy appointments.

I was a client at this location from August 2018 - December 2018 (three days per week, decreased to…read moretwo days a week in December). My reason for getting physical therapy was due to a torn ACL in my left knee, suffered while playing basketball, for which i had surgery for days prior to my first session at this Carol Stream location. I choose this location simply because it was closest to my home. Within weeks, i was able to walk without comfort and by the end of time with them, i was able to run and perform athletically without any discomfort. From the first day i walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and took care of me as they eased me into the various exercises and workouts. I worked with both PT's, Mark K. and Carolyn M. They both were great and each had their own different methods of training which was refreshing to experience. I truly felt like i was working with experts in their field. On top of that, they never forced me to do anything that i didn't feel comfortable doing - while at the same time, they tried to balance the exercises in a way that would challenge me and help be strengthen my legs. We set goals together from the start and the goal was to be able to run without any discomfort by the end of my training in December and throughout my five months of training, we set mini milestones to achieve. I use the term "we" when i refer to myself and Mark and Carolyn because it truly was a team effort. They set up the daily exercise and stretching routines for me to accomplish and as i did them, i gradually got stronger and healed quicker. Mark and Carolyn's knowledge of the various exercises was vast. No routine every became cumbersome and they kept introducing new exercises to keep things fresh. From a paperwork perspective, i only had to fill out paperwork on my first day and the insurance company and their front desk handled everything else from then on out. Speaking of the front desk, if i ever had to change an appointment or call with questions, they were always available, flexible and very accommodating. I never had trouble getting through or was ever put on hold. The training assistants (Vince and John) that i worked with there were all very friendly and helpful with during each of my sessions if i had to work with them. This is a sign of the good leadership and work ethic instilled by the PT's Mark and Carolyn. The facility was clean. The temperature was never too hot or cold while i was there performing the exercises. My only suggestion for improvement (if their budget permits) would be to install an automated/sensor door that would slide open for you (kind of like what you would see at a super market). I think this would make it easier for clients with crutches or walkers and for those that would have difficulty opening doors on their own. Overall, i can't recommend Athletico of Carol Steam enough. If you want to get your body feeling better/stronger in the quickest amount time, i believe Mark and Carol can help you achieve that. I experienced it first hand and it was a 5-star experience for me.
