PhysioPartners

Fantastic experience: Excellent group of people running the Loop office. Always flexible with appointments, very friendly, and excellent care. Had a shoulder and neck issue that was largely resolved in a matter of 4-6 sessions. Very professional and never felt pressure for more appointments. Truly great experience.

Fantastic experience: Great work by Jon. Was having foot issues and worked with Jon for about three months prior to completing a three day hike out west US, two of those days were a hike to bottom of the Grand Canyon and back. No issues at all. Will always need to keep working the foot but great results!!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional work that Angela and (especially Angela) has done with me over the past few months. The professionalism, expertise, and compassion have been a tremendous source of comfort and strength during my difficult time.

Fantastic experience: 1st time in Physical Therapy for a rotator cuff and upper arm weakness when lifting my bike on/off rack for storage. *Also a fitness nut that exercises a lot including Pilates, tumbling, handstands/new to contortion, Pole dance and weight training. I saw Jon Artus in the Loop Location and each session was thorough and impactful. The prescribed home practices increased my strength weekly and reduced my discomfort noticeably within 2 sessions. By the fourth session we were refining the shoulder practices to keep, adding back in crazy things I like to do and addressing any leftover muscle tension. Jon went above and beyond to treat the neighboring mechanics of my upper back, mid-back, and forearm mobility. I paid out of pocket, no insurance, and found the professional prices reasonable for the time, treatment, and effectiveness. Easy to schedule and easy to commute to walking, bus, or train from the South Loop where I live.

Fantastic experience: The staff is helpful and friendly. The Physical therapist is first rate, considerate of my capacity but able to help me make my balance, my endurance improve a little every week.

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY recommend! I didn't know I was in for such excellent advice, coaching and overall amazing PT work. I have gone to PT's before but this time it really took. Here's why: Alaina is highly trained in listening to what clients need, doing the body work and most especially useful, in recommending tailor made exercises just for me. Every body is different so it takes a "detective" to figure out what is best. She did just that ! Also, because Alaina kept detailed notes on my progress with measurements, we could see the progress I made. The icing on the cake is that Alaina is a joy to be with. There was never a time when I didn't leave feeling encouraged and happy. We always found something to laugh about during the sessions. The front desk folks work hard to make the whole appt process work smoothly. And the exercises are printed out so they're easily accessible. Again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been having a great experience thus far. I really appreciate the private 1:1 attention, as well as the variety of services offered. I came in for a neck injury after a forceful chiropractic adjustment that left me in a lot of pain and with nerve irritation behind my head. I feel like I am making progress and have hope that I can fully recover from this injury.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Hobson for about 3.5 month. I was struggling with non stop cough caused by my breathing issues. My cough have significantly improved. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: After suffering for years with chronic migraine and jaw pain, Dr. Hobson and her Craniofacial team have helped me identify the root causes of my pain and finally start to get relief. The dry needling here is the best around, it has been instrumental in managing my recovery from surgery. I have been to many "chain" physical therapy places that are far inferior to the treatment you will get here. I highly recommend this place for patients seeking individualized and highly specialized care from experienced professionals.

Fantastic experience: I love Physio Partners and particularly Dharti Shah! I saw Dharti for PT (Schroth Method for Scoliosis) for about 3 months at the end of 2022. I've had Scoliosis since I was a kid and while it wasn't a dramatic curvature, it started to feel painful in recent years. I had tried Chiropractic care, massage, yoga and pilates and nothing has helped me decrease my pain day to day like the PT I did with Dharti. She not only showed me specific Schroth exercises that were tailored to my spinal curve, but she taught me a ton about body mechanics and movement. For example, I had been twisting my spine for years in yoga class and I learned that this was working against me, despite it feeling temporarily good in the moment. Since I've graduated from PT, I've been able to live my life with more awareness of my spine and continue to practice my schroth exercises weekly per my treatment plan. If I have a flare up in the future, I would absolutely go back to Dharti so that she can help me fine tune any issues I am having. Overall, Physio Partners is a great place - easy to schedule appointments and lovely people and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to decrease pain in their body.

Fantastic experience: The care that I have received has met my personal care needs to the fullest. My therapist Jon from the first day has addressed my specific physical situation and developed a therapy plan that I follow throughout the week. He communicates the objectives and answers any questions that are of concern to me. I like that the sessions are done in a private setting not in a group room. The office staff easily schedules appointments and answers insurance questions all in a professional environment.

Fantastic experience: I went to PhysioPartners on the advice of friends who had also been seen there. The office is highly efficient and professional. I was thrilled with the targeted therapy I received - Angela evaluated my gait, specific muscle strength and balance issues. My goals and questions were addressed at every session. I made tremendous progress very quickly. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal! Just an hour of evaluation with Dr. Hobson was worth about 10 visits with other doctors. I am very very impressed. For example - he has had asthma for 8 years. Other doctors will just prescribe medication and send us home. She checked his breathing level with a test kit, his posture, his walk, how he bends forward and whether there are any structural issues, and much more. Very, very impressed.

Fantastic experience: Way to amazing health. What can be more important than breathing better, more efficiently. Most of us don't even realize how helpful such information is to making a quantum improvement in our quality of life.. This rates amongst my most important consultations.

Fantastic experience: I love the care I’ve received and the progress that I’ve made. I love the way my PT (Katrina) takes on each of my visits with renewed energy, variety of exercises and a professional determined set of problem solving exercises and activities. I am so please; I tell everyone; THIS is the place to go for PT. I also love the private room for my individualized treatment and then heading out into the “gym” for either warm up or follow up exercises.

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience at PhysioPartners, and my PT Katrina is extremely knowledgable and helpful. My pain level came down significantly after a couple months of therapy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Hobson is so thorough and knowledgable about all the things that contribute to TMJ. Between my assesment with her and 1 appointment with Carl im already feeling a million times better than I was a week ago prior to seeing them! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Erin was wonderful. It was my first visit and she explained things very well. She told me what to expect and did a thorough exam

Fantastic experience: I have benefited from the expert care of several physical therapists at PhysioPartners over several years for different ailments and have the highest regard for their professionalism, knowledge and skill. Most recently Mandie Martuzzo did an exceptional job of treating my arthritis in the knee and extenuating muscle pain in the hip, thigh and calf with a combination of dry needling, massage, strengthening exercises, Pilates and stretching. When I was quarantined for traveling out of state during COVID, her assessment of my pain via telehealth and subsequent direction for treatment I could do myself demonstrated her competence and ability to continue my treatment virtually. I have also appreciated the massage therapist. Emily Smith, who collaborates with the physical therapists in enhancing my treatment. In fact, Emily is the best massage therapist I have ever had. The owner of PhysioPartners,Angela Pennisi, is not only an exceptional physical therapist but an influential leader in the field at the local, state and national levels. She holds high standards for the therapists she hires, the professionalism of the PT field and their collaboration with physicians and other health providers. I highly recommend PhysioPartners.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Maureen. She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and helped me get on track with my leg and ankle injury. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about PhysioPartners. Angela and her team do an amazing job. They have offices in the downtown Loop area as well as Lincoln Park. I saw Jennifer Nelson for a number of foot and back issues and really felt the improvements after every session. Jennifer is very knowledgeable in treating injuries or just issues from normal wear and tear from working out or just daily living. I would highly recommend PhysioPartners. I would not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: We were given a recommendation for PhysioPartners in Chicago. We drive up there from Indiana to Chicago once a month to get the specialized physical therapy my daughter needs. So far everything has been smooth and organised. My daughter got a five day intensive training in July and is following up with monthly visits.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Katrina for about 5 weeks now, all on telemedicine. It has been GREAT! I can see her demonstrate all the exercises and she is able to critique my pereformance on each one. Such an excellent way to get PT during these times. Arlene

Fantastic experience: I've been in and out of physical therapy for 12 years, and I've achieved the best results from Mandie Martuzzo. She is absolutely the best Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy that I've had in Chicago and Indiana. My balance, endurance, and strength have improved substantially with her therapeutic modalities.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of Angela and her team. They are very experienced and tailor a treatment program to your needs (not cookie-cutter programs) . You work with a skilled therapist, who LISTENS to you and works with you one-on-one. I first went to Angela 9 years ago after my back surgery (I have spinal stenosis, degenerative discs and scoliosis). I had been going to a large, national PT organization after my back surgery and was disappointed in the service I was receiving. My pain doctor recommended Angela and it was like night and day. I received the help that I needed and started feeling much better. Since then, I have gone to PhysioPartners off and on for 9 years (whenever my back flares up). I have been fortunate to work with Angela, Stephanie, Mary, Jen and Mandie. They are all exceptional therapists and have helped me avoid another back surgery. Recently, I went to PhysioPartners for a hip problem. In addition to my back issues, I have arthritis and deterioration of the cartilage in my hip. I was doing a lot of cleaning (closets, cabinets, drawers, etc.) and aggravated my hip to the point that I was limping and in pain. I immediately called PhysioPartners. I worked with Imelda and found her to be very knowledgeable, professional, and skilled. She relieved my pain and taught me exercises to avoid further aggravation. In addition to physical therapy, I have taken PhysioPartners' wellness classes. I am currently doing the online Fitness and Pilates classes and love them. Katrina teaches the Fitness class, which incorporates exercise bands and light weights. Mary teaches Pilates. Both are wonderful teachers who show you a couple ways to do the exercises based on your level of comfort. The class sizes are small, which are much better than other online classes with 20+ or more people. One last note, I have found the staff to be very client focused and courteous. They are helpful in scheduling appointments and responsive to my phone calls. If you need physical therapy, PLEASE call PhysioPartners. Their therapists are compassionate, caring, encouraging and highly experienced. If I could give 10 stars rather than 5, I would!

Fantastic experience: I was a patient of Renuka Chilajwar PT, MPT for several weeks. Renuka helped me immensely with my TMJ issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided great solutions and resources. She is excellent at manual therapy which includes massage, stretching, and exercises on my neck, shoulders, jaw, and face. She has a kind and compassionate bedside manner and positive personality, which we all know makes all of the difference. I will always go back to PhysioPartners for any future issues that I experience.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. All the staff members who worked with me were very supportive and helpful. My back has been feeling better since then. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: PhysioPartners' staff makes a genuine effort to understand you and the pain or challenges you have. They try to get to the source of what might be causing the issue. It's a thorough approach and I would highly recommend their Physical Therapists and Massage Therapists.

Fantastic experience: The work has been amazing. I had previously been receiving PT at a famous center in Chicago, with little progress. Then I went to PhysioPartners barely able to walk. The intuitive understanding of my situation and the amazing therapy literally enabled me to walk freely again!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely highly recommend Physio & Mandie. Had recurring back spasms and Mandie not only fixed me, she gave me practical advice on how to prevent further injury that has worked. Not only am I pain free, but I've been able to get back into physical activities that I had long since given up. Mandie is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. Physio's office has also been efficient and transparent about billing and took care of all of the insurance piece without any issues.

Fantastic experience: Recently I finished a course of therapy with Physical Therapist Mandie Martuzzo for back and neck pain and my improvement is significant. Mandie was a pleasure to work with as she was; • Very knowledgeable and conveyed her knowledge in an easy understandable manner • Always professional • Very pleasant and enjoyable to work with

Fantastic experience: I brought my daughter here for mild/moderate scoliosis. She worked with Katrina who specializes in the Schroth Method, a therapy focused on scoliosis. My daughter has experienced very good improvement. Her curve has reduced along with the associated pain. And as a ballet dancer, her flexibility has improved which has helped with her increased range of motion. In order to keep up the progress, my daughter continues to do the exercises at home. Katrina is really knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my last session today, and I am convinced Mandie is a miracle worker. My first day in March, I hobbled in on crutches, recovering from knee surgery, and today I practically skipped out. Mandie knew just how much to push because she could sense when I was letting my mind hold me back rather than my physical condition. The exercises increased with difficulty as soon as she sensed I was ready, even when I didn't think I was. She inspired me to be brave and to work hard, and I'm all the better for it today, and I can't believe how far I've come. I highly recommend Mandie for your physical therapy needs! She's amazing!

Fantastic experience: This is the best therapy that I've ever been to there so great here I would def. recommend to anyone who is trying to get better. I had the best Physical therapist Mindie Martuzzo. She is great, she is very thorough and attentive. Mindie is very knowledgeable professional and caring. I never knew, or even thought physical therapy would be this helpful! Since beginning therapy I have gained so much strength back in my leg/ankle; not to mention the courage that I gained!

Fantastic experience: The teams at both PhysioPartners locations are phenomenal. I have worked with a few PTs who are all very knowledgeable, professional, and approachable. I am a runner with severe scoliosis, and they have helped me continue my high mileage while maintaining the best health for my scoliosis. This is supplemented with massages from Emily who works at both locations. She is very experienced with athletes and understands the body in a way that allows her to easily adapt her work to my particular issues. I highly recommend PhysioPartners to anyone looking for a practitioner who actually listens to your concerns, especially anyone with scoliosis. They have a lot of great classes too, from strength training to Pilates.

Fantastic experience: When I walked in the door in January I could hardly walk and now Mandie has me not only walking but back to excercising! The facility is very nice and the staff are absolutely the best! They will be my first choice for therapy from now on!

Fantastic experience: I have to say I was referred to Physio Partners after not being happy with my other Physical Therapist and having chronic pain and receiving Steroid Injections. Best referral I have received. I am currently working with Mandie and she is wonderful. She used her expertise in Dry Needling on me and it has been great. She is just a pleasure to work with and so far the best results I have had with Physical Therapy for my hip and I have not had any crazy flare ups since I have seen her. The Loop Office is just great!

Fantastic experience: I have to say during my first session with Mandie, I knew without a doubt that I’d made the right choice in selecting PhysioPartners. I’ve been to other PT clinics, yet never had such attentive treatment. Mandie understands muscle structure and the complexity in which they function. When updating her on my current condition, she determines quite accurately the precise treatments needed. I’ve been quite pleased with how my recovery’s been progressing. Mandie’s quite exceptional. I’ve worked with Jennifer Nelson and Emily Smith (Massage Therapist) as well and can conclude that PhysioPartners is determined to offer only the best. So glad I made this choice.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Angela and her staff. I've had chronic shoulder pain for as long as I can remember. Other therapists give exercises without any attempt to address the underlying problem and use sessions for exercises that could be done at home. Physiopartners has helped me identify daily habits that exacerbate my condition while using hands-on techniques (graston, ultrasound, massage) and modern tools (ios app to track exercises and upload customized videos) to increase my mobility and reduce pain. They're receptive to feedback and adaptive to plateaus in progression. Finally, they're administrative staff is excellent, cancellation policy reasonable and location accommodating.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend physiopartners more highly! I’m medically educated with significant experiences of receiving physical therapy at a variety of businesses in Chicago city. I have had shoulder and hip problems. I have tried many treatment styles and modalities. I can only testimony to the excellence in knowledge, skills, bedside manners and customer service at physioPartners. Angela is an angel! Who possesses deep understanding of the source of the physical problems and exceptional intelligence in navigating treatment plans and different modalities and techniques. Angela’s experience is priceless. Lucky her patients, if they are delighted and compliant, they will be physically transformed after finishing the treatment to be stronger and self sufficient in navigating and managing their physical pain on daily basis. Angela and her associates are all wonderful, kind and knowledgeable. Each of the large offices in Lakeview and the loop are well located, excellently equipped. All the treatment rooms are private, large and very clean! They even have personal lockers and showers! I have to tell you that this is not a double booking cookie cutter approach where half of session will be personal and the rest will be heat pads and ice packs! This is one to one of top quality experience Serives for the entire session! Amy, the Pilates Instrucor is so focused, skilled, and wonderful human being. Emily, the massage therapist is amazingly professional. Her work is quite effective, yet gentle and considerate. I wish everyone who needs PT Will get to be physiopartners patient and feel the real experience. Not to mention that Angela was the only one who knew that my son had a deep enjury that required urgent imaging from the first assessment she did, something a medical emergency doctor at a reputable hospital could not figure out! I trust her judgment in any context. Physiopartners changend my life!

Fantastic experience: I love this group! The fact that they have facilities both in the Loop and on the North Side is very convenient. My only complaint is that it's difficult to schedule time wth my designated therapist , Katrina Sholeen. Katrina is wonderful! She's very knowledgeable and intuitive. I've had a number of issues (back, neck, balance, etc) and she has developed individualized plans for each area. I've experienced a lot of improvement, but have more work to do.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Physio Partners has been excellent. Professionally managed, a welcoming reception, efficiently run, and superb physical therapy professionals. Mandie in particular is outstanding: guiding, coaching, exhorting, encouraging. My recovery is proceeding better than expected. Absolutely delighted with the Physio Partners team and experience.

Fantastic experience: PhysioPartners was about as good a physical therapy experience as one could hope for. Incredible staff. Incredible PTs. Would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a higher-caliber PT experience.

Fantastic experience: After struggling with plantar faciitis, hip and lower back pain for 5 years I was thankfully referred to PhysioPartners, to see Angela Pennisi, by my doctor. Over those 5 years I had been to several physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists in several different cities to no avail. I was resigned to my pain and limitations until my toddler's needs forced me to seek help once again. Needless to say I wasn't optimistic but after meeting her I knew this time would be different. Angela is professional, knowledgeable and engaged with the latest findings in the industry. She utilizes effective, creative and unique therapy modalities (e.g. ultrasound & graston technique) that most old school physical therapist just don't do. My treatment plan also had me work in conjunction with Jennifer Nelson, another amazing physical therapist at PhysioPartners. She treated tightness in my pelvic floor due to pregnancy and used dry needling to relieve lower back/hip pain in just a couple of months. My plantar fasciitis has decreased significantly allowing me to start running again which is something I never thought I would be able to do again.

Fantastic experience: Angela's work on my neck and shoulders has literally changed my quality of life. Prior to coming to Angela, after a head on car collision, I had been working with another physical therapist who not only did not help my pain, but made it worse. My doctor then suggested Angela, and her expertise, attention to detail, focus, empathy and knowledge is why I'm so proud to say that I'm pain free today. The offices are also really convenient in the Loop and Lakeview, have flexible hours and are super clean and not crazy busy. I recommend Angela to anyone who has any chronic pain or injury - she is truly an expert.

Fantastic experience: My experience with PhysioPartners as been nothing but amazing. My physical therapist Mandie has made my life more comfortable. She is courteous and professional. Its a calming and relaxing atmosphere which is what I find each time I arrive. Once my services are completed if I ever would need any therapy I will back! I would recommend them highly!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about the care I have been given at PhysioPartners for a knee injury I had since 2012. This is not a typical clinic where a therapist works with multiple patients at one time. I have received one-on-one therapist care during my entire appointment time to make sure I am doing exercises correctly and to get all of my questions answered. I had been to other PT clinics over the years, but have never experienced the personalized attention I have received at PhysioPartners. Founder Angela Wilson Pennisi responded quickly to my initial inquiry, and I have been working with two extremely knowledgeable and experienced therapists at the Loop location (Jennifer Nelson and Mandie Martuzzo). My knee feels better than it has in years. All PT clinics are not the same! If you are serious about your recovery and health long-term, I strongly recommend PhysioPartners.

Fantastic experience: Angela and company are great. I had ankle surgery and needed PT. Fortunately a friend recommended Physio Partners and I could not be happier. The entire staff is upbeat and conscientious. Every therapist I saw was skilled, fully engaged, and committed to a good outcome for me. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Angela Pennisi is a miracle worker. She previously brought me back to full functioning after back problems resulting from abdominal surgery had me curved over and in constant pain. This year she made all the difference in my recovery from severe plantar fasciitis. I continue to follow my home program every morning and can stand tall again and exercise without pain.
