Services
Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy techniques address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction through skilled hands-on treatment. Therapists use joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and neuromuscular techniques to restore mobility and reduce pain. This evidence-based approach targets specific movement restrictions causing symptoms.
Pelvic Health Programs
Specialized pelvic floor therapy treats pre/postnatal conditions, incontinence, and pelvic pain. Our certified specialists combine internal and external assessments with personalized exercise programs to restore pelvic function and core stability.
Sports Rehabilitation
Performance-focused rehabilitation helps athletes recover from injuries and prevent recurrence. We analyze movement patterns, address biomechanical imbalances, and implement sport-specific training to restore optimal function and enhance athletic performance.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Individualized rehabilitation programs accelerate recovery after surgeries like joint replacements or rotator cuff repairs. We combine manual therapy, progressive strengthening, and functional training to restore mobility and prevent compensatory movement patterns.
Chronic Pain Management
Our approach to chronic pain combines movement analysis, posture correction, and nervous system retraining. Therapists identify underlying causes like muscle imbalances or faulty movement patterns that contribute to persistent pain symptoms.

I had a wonderful experience at Body Gears . My physical therapist, Andrea Marti was very knowledgeable, encouraging and compassionate. I learned a great deal and felt supported by her and Drew (in reception). I have recommend her services to all my friends in need.

I have had a lot of physical therapy at various large PT clinics in recent years, and although my experience was positive; it was exceptional with Andrea and Drew at Body Gears Winnetka. Their attitudes, understanding, friendliness and most important their expert knowledge and communication put me at ease and made me very comfortable. In addition to a welcoming and positive environment, Body Gears Winnetka is quiet, bright and spacious - a plus during the pandemic. Thank you Andrea and Drew, and Body Gears for the very positive experience.

Andrea took a lot of time and care to understand my needs postpartum, and I left my sessions feeling stronger and more confident. She uses a functional approach to therapy and chose exercises that would translate into what my body needs to do on a daily basis. Highly recommend her and this location. Very professional. Treatment space is bright and spacious.

I "graduated" today from pelvic floor physical therapy. I wish I'd done this years ago. This was life-changing, and I can't thank Andrea enough.

This was my second visit to Body Gears in Winnetka. The first was prepandemic where there were several therapists working in a small space. This time when I arrived I was so impressed with how they had changed things for Covid by providing a much enlarged space with essentially only one therapist working at a time. They follow all Covid cleanliness precautions diligently.
Andrea quickly diagnosed my issue and we got to work on it. She is very knowledgeable and professional. As mentioned in previous reviews she works with you herself the entire hour which is different and definitely more effective

Andrea took very good care of me. Drew is a terrific scheduler. The entire concept of the clinic is professional, caring and accommodating. Also, the therapist actually spends the entire appointment time with the client-unlike most other PT providers.
