Your Partner In Recovery

People who come to our clinics get better, faster. It's true, because we care about you as a whole person not just an injury. The physical therapists of the Center for Physical Therapy work with physicians and communicate with you so that when your therapy is over, you know that you had a partner in recovery, not a mechanic.

You. Better. Faster.

You. Better. Faster. It's not just a silly little motto for the Center for Physical Therapy Chicago (Suburbs). It’s a way of life. We look for every chance to go above-and-beyond when helping patients recover from pain or injury. The Center For Physical Therapy is your partner throughout your journey to restoring and maintaining motion so that you can function at your personal best.

What does a physical therapist do?

Much like your other doctors, a physical therapist is a skilled, licensed healthcare professional. A physical therapist’s focus and expertise is on your body’s movement systems. Our goal is to restore or maintain your strength, mobility and function. We do so by using what’s called a dynamic approach, which combines functional exercise and manual techniques. If you want to get technical, here are some of the methods we may use in your treatment after a thorough assessment of your condition:

• Guided therapeutic activities and exercises
• Re-education of muscle
• Manual therapies: mobilization of the joints and soft tissues
• Individualized home exercise program
• Reconditioning programs
• Modalities to reduce pain and/or swelling when necessary

We also know that some rehabilitation plans call for unique approaches. That's why we have physical therapists who offer a multitude of specialty services.
