Unlock Your Potential with Comprehensive Performance Physical Therapy in Chicago

Our physical therapists diagnose, manage, and treat disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, such as post-surgical rehab, sports injuries, arthritis, chronic pain syndromes, and other tendinopathies. Most people seek physical therapy services only after injury. Consistent with our SHIFT vision to improve health and longevity, Advanced Physical Therapy & Recovery is more than just a reactive approach to pain or a specific injury. Unlike other physical therapy clinics, our experts return your body to its initial baseline and beyond, improve performance, and educate you on how to prevent future injuries.

Rehabilitation

Individualized physical therapy and recovery services address injury, movement dysfunction, and repetitive trauma. Patients begin with a thorough evaluation and receive an individualized treatment plan with corrective exercises. These exercises help to restore proper function and to achieve greater mobility and stability.

Prevention

Prehab, short for ‘prehabilitation,’ is an approach that incorporates preventive exercises geared toward building balance, stability, and strength. We focus on success through personalized education, mental preparation, injury prevention, and muscle activation of sport-specific or activity-specific training.

Optimization

Improve your strength, power, speed, and kinesthetic awareness with proactive, sport-specific training. To optimize your performance, your physical therapist creates a well-rounded program, which may include warm-up and cool-down routines, muscle activation exercises, unilateral strength training, and sport-specific agility movements, among others.
