I graduated! After 4.5 months, PT was finally complete and I was ready to go. I came into the…read moreclinic with my first real running injury. I had only started running six months prior. I injured my posterior tibialis in my right leg. It had become impossible to run without pain and I limped home the few times that I tried it before going in for the assessment. At my evaluation, Marissa was thorough in her examination and clear in her explanation of my injury. Marissa was an amazing physical therapist. There were times that I felt overwhelmed by the exercises but her good humor kept the mood light and my motivation up. Her kindness and encouragement kept me moving. And she was always willing to take the time to show me how to do the exercises. It was challenging. There were times that I wanted to throw in the towel. But I had been determined from the start to get back to full strength. We are both avid runners and she freely shared her wealth of knowledge about the sport. I'll actually miss being able to have those running discussions at my appointments. I grew to appreciate the challenge of the PT exercises. The exercises pushed me further than I had on my own and doing so under supervision made me feel comfortable. I became more confident in my abilities and could feel my body growing stronger than before. The pain in the leg gradually lessened as the weeks passed. We worked on building strength in the muscles to prevent injury from returning and worked on mobility. She ran a Visual Gait Analysis, with me running on a treadmill, using a camera. She ran the videos through a computer program to accurately map my running form and performance. It was enlightening and helpful to see exactly how my body was moving through the run cycle. That data will continue to be invaluable to my growth as a runner. A physical therapy clinic is not generally a place that runners want to end up. It usually means there's a problem which is stopping them from participating in the sport that they love. I certainly felt down and a little hopeless when I entered. I had found a gift in running that I felt was taken away by pain. As cheesy as it sounds, I learned that Athletico Andersonville South is a place of hope. There can be difficulty and steep challenge encountered there. But the dedicated clinicians, like Marissa, can give you back that gift of sport. They do so by helping you to conquer your injury through hard work, in the clinic, under expert guidance. I hope to remain injury-free as long as possible, but if I'm ever in need of PT then this clinic will be the first place that I'll go.

I suffer from back pain and at the recommendation of my primary doctor, started going to Rush PT…read more I assumed that they were part of the Rush hospital system. But after reviewing the Yelp, i now realize it is actually some company called "Novacare". For the last 2 months, I have been going here once a week. The facility is very small and cramped, the equipment is a bit bare. But the main problem is that there is only 1 or 2 actual Physical Therapists in the office at a time, while there are 3-5 patients scheduled for the same time. Each session is about 50-60 minutes long. But the actual time with the PT is really about 15 minutes (as Gina F mentioned in her review). The PT shows you the exercise movements about 2-3 times, then has you do 2-3 reps, makes some corrections, tells you to do 2-3 more sets by yourself, and then wanders off to work with another patient or to type something in the computer without really paying any attention to you. If the PT had already shown you an exercise before, she may just hand you off to a Student/Intern and have them run through the exercise with you. But again, the student also is not paying any attention to you while doing the exercise and is instead busy chatting with each other. Ultimately, my time ended when the PT said, she didn't think PT was working for me. Sometimes, I would realize later that I was doing the exercise wrong a few sessions later, when the actual PT showed it to me again. But I do admit, I didn't do my home exercises everyday, but only 3-4 days a week at home. Conclusion, - I would recommend you look for a better office that has more space so patients don't bump into each other. I would also recommend a PT office that offers One on One PT to patient services instead. I will be trying a different PT office and see if that is more helpful.

If you're considering going to PT for pelvic floor or other general PT help, then run (if you can),…read moredon't walk to Chicago Physical Therapists. This is a top notch practice with highly skilled and compassionate physical therapists. I went there for both prenatal and postpartum physical therapy (pelvic floor and other PT work). Before working with Meredy and Natalia, I had never had pelvic floor PT before. I knew I probably needed it but was nervous about getting that kind of therapy. Long story short: I should have gone to these therapists YEARS ago for pelvic floor PT before I ever got pregnant... they would have helped so much with general issues I was having! Prenatal PT: I contacted Chicago Physical Therapists in Spring 2022 late in my second trimester when I heard a "What to Expect" podcast about how beneficial pelvic floor PT could be for childbirth. After booking an initial consultation with Meredy, she encouraged me to double check with my OBGYN that it was okay to proceed with pelvic floor PT (my OBGYN said yes). Because Meredy was completely booked for over a month due to her high demand, I started PT work with Natalia, following a started a schedule of seeing either Natalia or Meredy up to near my due date. I really appreciated how excellent, respectful, and compassionate both therapists were. Natalia and Meredy kept their each other updated about my progress and there were no discrepancies in their care. I learned so much about how to relax the pelvic area to prepare for pushing a baby out, breathing techniques for relaxing for any cervical checks the doctors would do while I was in labor. When it came time for the real deal childbirth with a last minute unexpected labor induction, I was able to handle the internal exams and water breaking and delay pain medication (which was my desire) for most of the labor time. Postpartum PT: Meredy and Natalia were proactive in getting me scheduled as soon as possible for PT postpartum. Due to many non-physical factors I canceled some of the appointments and chose to not get examined until 3 months postpartum. In the interim, both therapists checked in with me to let me know that I could be added to the waitlist for openings if there were any appointment cancellations or to offer telehealth in case I was available or up for it. The postpartum therapy has been going great, with tips and exercises I can do at home to promote getting my pelvic floor, abdomen, and other out-of-whack parts of me restored post birth. Billing practices: I saw a negative Yelp review about billing practices and I wanted to share that I haven't had any issues at all. I receive emails with the totals to be charged, I have time to ask questions about the bills, and I consented to have convenient autopay when I was onboarded as a patient. The practice has worked seamlessly with my insurance to make sure there's no issues. Thanks to Meredy and Natalia... I should have come to see you years ago but I'm glad to be your patient now!

I love the genuine vibe of goodness and health here. I leave here feeling good in and out and that's why I return-- or will as soon as my children are in school in the fall. Children are welcome but I would do best with a break from my olders -- having it be just about me for an hour. I go to Alisha and have brushed shoulders with many other therapists here who are probably equally terrific. I do love Alisha, though-- she is professional and competent as well as interesting and has helped with my post children pelvic floor goals tremendously. This pt office is a big secret, apparently. I don't know if I should share such accolades-- I guess I just did! If you're on the fence, go here. They're the best. Seriously.

I am a veteran of PT rehab stints having had two hip replacements, two rotator cuff surgeries, and one hip labrum tear surgery over the past 25+ years. I believe I know a thing or two about effective PT therapy. Not to take anything away from Athletico, who treated all of my above issues, the Elevate PT team is a significant cut above the typical PT practice. What stands them apart is their deep attentiveness to proper form and function, plus utilizing a frequent change of protocol to both challenge me and keep me motivated. Shivani's goal is not to just get me back to some sort of "status quo", but to make lasting improvements that leaves me better off than before my arrival at her practice. She also taught me many things that I could incorporate on my own to better manage my lower back issues, and those have proven to be quite useful. She pointed out and fixed things wrong with my gait and posture that no one had ever pointed out to me before. Her knowledge and ability to present it in non medical terms is really terrific. All the while doing this with an incredibly friendly and fun demeanor. After all was said and done, I was so impressed with Elevate's practice that I sent my wife there who unfortunately fractured her femur (surgery, rods and screws...the whole works) shortly after I completed my stint. She is working with both Shivani and Maneesha and is thrilled with the treatment she is receiving. What better recommendation could there be than sending a family member?
