Conditions We Treat

If You've Been Told to Just Live With It, Get a Second Opinion.

We see patients every week who were told their condition was permanent, untreatable, or just a part of getting older. Most of the time, that is not true. Most of the time, there is a source, and a solution. Browse what we treat below, or call us and describe what is going on.

All Conditions

Every body moves differently, so every plan does too.

Twenty-two conditions, grouped below by what they actually feel like. Eleven of them are pelvic health or perinatal, treated one-on-one in a private room by a clinician with pelvic health certification. If you do not see your exact problem, call and describe it.

Spine, Neck and Head 3 conditions

Low Back, Hip, SI and Tailbone

Back pain that moves around, sits low, or refers into the hip and buttock. We find whether the driver is disc, joint, muscle or how you load the pelvis.

See our approach

Neck Pain

Stiffness, restricted turning, and nerve symptoms into the arm, from whiplash, desk posture, disc changes or years of small compensations.

See our approach

Headaches

If your headaches arrive with neck stiffness, the cervical spine is often the source. Cervicogenic headache responds well to hands-on care and targeted loading.

See our approach
Shoulder, Arm and Hand 4 conditions

Shoulder Pain

Rotator cuff tears and strains, impingement, frozen shoulder, bursitis and instability. Treated with the shoulder blade and thoracic spine in the picture, not just the joint.

See our approach

Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain

Tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, wrist tendon pain and grip pain from lifting, climbing or a full day at a keyboard.

See our approach

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Numb hands at night, tingling fingers, a grip that keeps slipping. Nerve glides, hands-on care at the wrist and neck, and changes to how you load the hand.

See our approach

Arm Numbness and Tingling

A heavy, numb or buzzing arm can come from the neck, the thoracic outlet or a peripheral nerve. The point of the exam is finding which one.

See our approach
Lower Body, Sport and Surgery 4 conditions

Hip and Knee Pain

Arthritis, IT band pain, kneecap pain, labral tears and tendinopathy. We treat the whole chain from foot to pelvis, not just the joint that hurts.

See our approach

Plantar Fasciitis

That first step out of bed. Heel pain, arch pain, burning after standing. Hands-on work plus the loading that actually changes the tissue.

See our approach

Golfing Injuries

Low back, hip, shoulder and elbow pain from the swing. We rebuild rotation and sequencing so you can finish a round without paying for it.

See our approach

Pre and Post Surgery

Prehab before the date, then structured rehab after joint replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and other orthopedic procedures.

See our approach
Pelvic Health 6 conditions

Incontinence

Leaking urine when you run, lift, cough, sneeze or jump. It is common and it is treatable. Common is not the same thing as normal.

See our approach

Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction

Urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying and constipation are coordination problems, and coordination is something the pelvic floor can relearn.

See our approach

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Heaviness, bulging or pressure in the pelvis. Pressure management and a graded return to lifting, because a prolapse diagnosis is not the end of lifting.

See our approach

Endometriosis

Pelvic floor tension, painful sex and bowel or bladder pain that travel with endometriosis. Pelvic therapy alongside your medical care, not instead of it.

See our approach

Tailbone Pain

Pain sitting, pain getting out of a chair, pain after a fall or after birth. Coccyx-focused pelvic therapy rather than another cushion.

See our approach

Perimenopause

Joint aches, neck and shoulder pain, pelvic symptoms and slower recovery. Strength work and hands-on care aimed at the change in tissue, not at your age.

See our approach
Pregnancy and Postpartum 5 conditions

Prenatal Care

Pelvic girdle pain, low back pain and round ligament pain in pregnancy. Hands-on care and loading so you can keep moving through all three trimesters.

See our approach

Birth Preparation

Train breath, pelvic mobility and pushing positions before labor instead of learning them in the room. One-on-one pelvic health sessions.

See our approach

Postpartum Recovery

The six-week check-up is a clearance, not a rehab plan. Rebuild pelvic floor, core and hips until running and lifting feel like yours again.

See our approach

C-Section Recovery

Scar mobility, abdominal wall function and pelvic floor recovery after a caesarean, with a real path back to picking your child up without bracing.

See our approach

Diastasis Recti

The gap matters less than the tension across it. We rebuild load transfer through the abdominal wall so pressure has somewhere to go.

See our approach
Start Your Recovery

Describe it in your own words.

You do not need a diagnosis to book, and you do not need a referral. Illinois Direct Access lets you see a licensed physical therapist for up to 10 visits or within 15 business days. We are in network with BCBS, PPO and Medicare.

Tell us what it feels like, when it started, and what you have already tried. The evaluation looks at how you move, then we tell you honestly whether this is something we can help with.
