Services

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapy services combine manual techniques, exercise programs, and advanced diagnostics to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Using video gait analysis and biomechanics assessment, our orthopedic specialists create personalized plans to reduce pain and restore function. Each session provides one-on-one care with board-certified therapists who track progress through objective measurements.

Dry Needling

Dry needling treatments target myofascial trigger points to alleviate chronic pain and improve mobility. Our certified practitioners use thin needles to stimulate muscle relaxation and promote healing, often achieving noticeable results within sessions. This technique complements other therapies for conditions like tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and back tension.

Pelvic Health Therapy

Specialized pelvic floor therapy addresses urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery through manual techniques and targeted exercises. Our therapists use biofeedback and soft tissue mobilization to restore pelvic floor function while maintaining patient comfort and privacy throughout the treatment process.

Sports Injury Rehab

We treat sports-related injuries with sport-specific rehabilitation programs that restore strength and prevent re-injury. Our approach combines functional movement analysis, progressive strengthening, and activity modification guidance to help athletes return to competition at their optimal performance level.

Telehealth Services

Telehealth appointments provide remote access to physical therapy expertise through video consultations. Patients receive movement assessments, exercise demonstrations, and progress tracking from home while maintaining the same high standard of care as in-clinic visits for Illinois residents.

Hurt my quad playing soccer. Tried to play through the pain but couldnt put weight on my left leg. Dan gave me a soccer specific program to follow with step by step instructions on what to do over a period of time as well. The workout followed a progression so over a several week period I went from low to high intensity. Also, the focus wasnt just on one leg. He provided a thorough lower body workout. Been following the program ever since. Leg feels better than before. Would highly recommend. Dans not to bad at soccer, either

I'm glad I chose to come to Elevate Physical Therapy and Fitness. I needed help for my right shoulder pain and boy, did they deliver! The owners, Dan and Sean are both very nice and made me feel at home. Dan was my Physical Therapist and his exercise routine was very helpful. My shoulder greatly improved after only a few visits. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain his plan of treatment and maintenance after discharge. They are very passionate in what they do. So, if you're in need for a Physical Therapist, choose this company and you won't regret it!

Sean really helped me with my immediate (calf) and long term (back) issues. I was back to running shortly after working through the exercises Sean equipped me with, and I am now confident to continue running, strength training, and playing sports.

I suffered from chronic back pain for several years. I felt like I was in a rut physically and it made doing many of the things I loved like boxing and basketball entirely impossible. The team at Elevate Physical have been an incredible resource and support team, during what seemed like a long and unattainable recovery. Thanks to their dynamic approach to healing and strength training, I feel better than I have in years and my life is no longer dictated solely on my level of pain. Across the board, they are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend them.

With Sean's help, I avoided surgery, restored full function and got rid of pain after lower back and shoulder injuries. I like his approach to working with patients/clients. It's a pleasure working with Sean and I'm very happy with the results. Therapy is dynamic, it changes based on feedback and looks to measure improvement over time so that you gain confidence in the work you put in and are able to set expectations accordingly. Highly recommended!

I am so glad my friend recommended Sean for PT. He has created a program for me that is working really well and I feel better about my personal goals than I have in years. Sean is very smart, pays attention to detail and thinks of everything. I just wish I found Sean sooner!
