Impact Physical Therapy - South Loop

Experiencia fantástica: Deja is caring for her patients, she knows how to methodically tackle your problems and fixes them, very personable, makes PT something to look forward to. I'd injure myself again to be under her care. That ice outside is looking so good to slip on rn

Experiencia fantástica: I am very impressed with Alexandra Timm. As a dancer, I was looking for someone who understood our common injuries. I was very lucky to see a doctor who knew her and recommended her talents. She found my issue right away, and thus far, both appointments I have had with her resulted in significant progress. I certainly hope this trajectory continues, and I have faith that Alex will bring me back to normal.

Experiencia fantástica: Courtney is the absolute best!!! Highly recommend her and Impact PT to anyone looking to come back from an injury!

Experiencia fantástica: I give IMPACT PT South Loop and Therapist Deja 5 stars. Deja and everyone that treated me was compassionate and highly knowledgeable. Deja carefully explained everything that she was doing, backed up by computer diagrams so that I would understand. I appreciated all of the hard work by all that treated me, which I can attribute to my successful healing. I would highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: It has been 12 weeks since I came here for PT after an ACL surgery! I didn’t do my surgery in the US so communication with my surgeon etc was tough, but Impact did their utmost best and it shows! Not to jinx it but I’m walking great, bending great, and my knee feels normal again Everyone from the front office to the assistants and the PTs are absolute rockstars — sessions always start on time and they have pretty good availability (esp given how busy they are). My therapists Kristin, Matt and Deja are the of physical therapy for real. I’m feeling confident in the recovery because of their great hands on work every session. Would recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: I am very pleased with my therapy experience at Impact. After some initial conversation about my injury, Alex recommended some deep massage of my hip and 3 exercises I can do at home. From the first treatment I felt relief. In fact she discovered that I had tightness of the muscle in my right hip so I am being treated for that as well. I am so satisfied with my therapy I scheduled an appointment with my Orthopedic Surgeon so I can began therapy with Alex for my neck. I am a believer.

Experiencia fantástica: Great therapists/staff! Courtney and Liz listened to my concerns as well as adapted the therapy based on my goals. Got me to the finish line of the marathon. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: I completed physical therapy at Impact's South Loop location in 2022. The team helped me resolve pain and weakness in both legs. This was my first time in PT, and I was unsure if it would help. The team at Impact was a vital part of my recovery. They helped me stregthen my legs and developed a post-PT plan. It took working out several months after PT, but I've regained mobility and reduced pain. PT is hard work, but the amazing team at Impact got me moving again. I am so thankful for their professional knowledge and the positive atmosphere at the clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife found this clinic for pelvic floor PT after giving birth and I became a patient soon after. Everything about my experience has been great. Scheduling is reasonably quick for new patients. I saw Matt and he methodically and holistically worked with me to reduce my hip pain. He helped me change my posture, adjust my sleeping position and do exercises to strengthen my hips and gluts. It was a process, but I steadily got better. I particularly appreciate how he did research to identify new ways of treating me, truly acting with ownership. To finally heal, he realized I needed pelvic floor support and referred me to Deja, who got me to the finish line. The reception team is friendly and easy to schedule with.

Experiencia fantástica: I never write reviews, but Impact deserves one. The staff at Impact from the front desk, techs, to the PT’s were all fantastic throughout my journey to rehab my shoulder and neck after I was in a car accident earlier this summer. The entire clinic has a great rapport with one another and are always super welcoming. I was lucky enough to be booked with Courtney for my initial evaluation and she was fantastic from the start. She was able to help me get back to where I needed to be, all while having fun while doing it. I hope I don’t need PT again in the near future, but if I do I know where I’m going and who I’m going to.

Experiencia fantástica: the trainer was knowledgeable and effective. I am seeing positive results after a few visits.

Experiencia fantástica: As an active senior, I’ve had some challenges with tennis elbow(s) and more recently plantar fasciitis. At Impact, I was able to get in quickly for a screening, and am now working with Matt and Alex to address this persistent foot problem. I’m making significant progress! Once again, a solution based and positive experience at Impact South Loop.

Experiencia fantástica: For all athletes, especially long distance runners…I highly recommend you to book a recovery session to reduce/prevent injuries. The staff…..awesome, the facility….awesome, the equipment ……awesome, the prices…awesome, you’re awesome too if you’re reading this. My single session came with a 10 min cold plunge and 10-15 min leg compression. I will be back for sure and special shout-out to Kaitlin for making my friend and I experience everything. Ready to attack more training now. #RoadToTheChicagoHalf #HealthisWealth

Experiencia fantástica: Love the Impact team at South Loop! They helped me quickly recover from a few running injuries this spring. Deja is an excellent PT and provided me with great knowledge of my injuries and effective exercises and strategies for strengthening and maintenence. Would highly recommend them for physical therapy especially for athletes.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Impact has been everything I had hoped in physical therapy. My therapist Déjà is knowledgeable, professional and personable. She is exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone needing any physical therapy. You cannot go wrong with Impact and if you are lucky enough to be assigned to work with Déjà, you need to thank your lucky stars. She is the very best!

Experiencia fantástica: You will not find a better PT in Chicago! Every therapist there is the best of the best. They also make PT fun! Shout out to Alex Timm who has gotten me to the start line and even a marathon PR through many running injuries. I feel stronger than ever in my form and it is all because of this place. They really know what they are doing! Also, all the recovery tools and options available with the Chicago Recovery Room combined makes this place a no brainer for runners who are injured or just looking for top notch recovery!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had excellent treatment at the hands of Kristin Morrison at Impact Physical Therapy in the South Loop. So glad that this is the most convenient location for me to receive physical therapy because I am getting old but the team there is keeping me from completely falling apart. The entire staff is friendly and helpful in getting me appointments, working through a series of exercises, and making sure I follow my home exercise program as well.

Experiencia fantástica: I Just started with Beth and I came from a place that was limited with the modalities that impact is known for, and although I'm in the beginning phase I feel like I'm in good hands, oddly which is a complaint with the OTHER PLACE (no scar tissue management or manipulation) , I had knee replacement surgery and they NEVER went hands on they were just crazy about rubber band exercises which honestly I could do AT HOME, on my own. So I'll come back to add to this review after I get more appts completed and experience the advanced technology that I transferred here for ..... 2 of 36 appts soo far. Beth is GREAT very KNOWLEDGEABLE and doesn't mind answering questions.

Experiencia fantástica: The entire staff at Impact has been so helpful & welcoming! I have had a hip/back issue for the past few years & Beth has been absolutely wonderful at addressing my individual problems and concerns. After the first session I was able to run with NO PAIN for the first time in years! I cannot say or express my gratitude enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Brittni for about a month and cannot recommend her enough! I have been dealing with an over use injury in my wrist and she has helped me make significant improvements. She does a great job with soft tissue work and provides exercises that I can easily do at home to help my recovery. She’s been super supportive of helping me figure out how to return to exercise after a long period where I was scared to do anything without hurting my wrist. Yesterday we tried dry needling for the first time (my first time ever) and it was a great experience. I have a slight fear of needles and Brittni went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during treatment. Brittni and the team at IMPACT are fantastic!

Experiencia fantástica: Brittni is amazing! Everyone at Impact Physical Therapy is so friendly and they have really been helping me work through plantar fasciitis in my final weeks leading up to a big race. I feel like I am well taken care of here and my feet have felt better since I started seeing Brittni. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: MY physician referred me for physical therapy I have never had physical therapy and was skeptical that it would help. At age 70, I work out every day and did not want to be advised to cut back on my exercise routine. Impact understood my concerns and set me up with exactly the right therapist. My therapist, Brittni, understood my issues immediately and worked with me to add specific exercises to address my issue and helped me improve my exercise routine, not disrupt it. This has been a great experience and I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I had been having knee pain for several years and was recommended here by my wrist therapist. I worked with Alex and she was very knowledgeable, quickly pinpointed where my issue is. Over the course of 3 months, she guided me through different exercises to help address the underlying issues. Now I can squat or play tennis, and my knee would no longer be in pain for the next few days. Other staff such as Nick are also super friendly and helpful to guide me through the exercises.

Experiencia fantástica: Caring therapists and professional staff. Clean location with friendly support. They're really good at managing scheduling and verifying insurance coverage before treatment. They offer alternative recovery packages that can be purchased out of pocket.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Impact at age 74 nervous that my days of agility and strength were behind me. Then I met Kristin Morrison, and 12 weeks later, I completed my therapy with restored strength and confidence. Thank you!! Your guidance and knowledge made the difference. I am forever grateful!!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the first time in about a decade that I can walk around without pain. Worked with Matt for about 8-10 weeks and it was such a great experience. Was able to work with other therapists as well, everyone was highly knowledgeable and administered incredible care. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Beth is amazing. She takes time to listen to you and explain the details to make you understand the muscle system, root causes and the treatment process. She is very patient, practical, knowledgeable and precise. I had a lot of pain that was going on for a while on my upper left side: in shoulder, back, arm, neck, head, face. She identified it to be a shoulder rotator cuff issue referring pain everywhere and within a couple weeks I made a lot of progress in the pain relief and increased range of motion under Beth’s treatment plan. Now we are working on the strengthening. I had a session with Liz as well and she was great too. Everyone at Impact is very friendly and supportive. The home exercise plan through the app helps to keep you on track. I would highly recommend Impact.

Experiencia fantástica: Really knowledgeable, skilled people. Brittany, Kristen, and everybody else were such fun to be around and have helped me recover a lot faster than I expected. Going here was the high point of my week and I cannot recommend it enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Impact PT/Chicago Recovery Room was fantastic to work with to keep me running injury-free this season! PT Liz was knowledgeable and responsive, and included a variety of effective modalities for my needs. The team is organized and friendly, and the space is well set up for recovery seasons. Big thanks!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had a couple of running related injuries over the years. When I have gone in, they do a thorough assessment and get straight to work on making me function well quickly. They are professional, creative, results-oriented, and are about solving for the problem(s) at hand. Their staff is trained and supervised well and overall very pleasant. The rates are reasonable. They are always on time in seeing me. Overall, a very good value and I highly recommend Impact.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a painful wrist issue and was recommended here for physical therapy. I've mostly worked with Alex and she is excellent. Alex is very knowledgeable and also a very good listener, and I've made a lot of progress in the weeks that I've come.

Experiencia fantástica: The providers and staff at Impact truly put the patients needs first. EVERYONE is focused on the care of the patient. I personally have been a patient at Impact for several years, on and off, due to various injuries. Both providers and staff are knowledgeable, kind, patient, and flexible with their time and attention. I have always received comprehensive care that is well thought out, personal, and easy to follow. I have been to other PT clinics in the Chicago area and Impact is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Kristin of Impact PT to treat a case of plantar fasciitis which had been lingering for more than a month. Kristin was very professional and personable. She explained the physiology of the injury to me and details of the treatment. Although I am not completely healed yet, I am making good progress and feel that the treatment has helped.

Experiencia fantástica: My Doctor recommended IPT-SL for a nagging rotator cuff injury and I'm glad he did. The location is very convenient and the staff works with me to accommodate my busy schedule. Over the past two weeks that I have been going for PT, Kristin has helped me to significantly improved the condition of my injury. I'm not pain free yet but I've made major improvements. She is professional, patience, and knowledgeable in her field of work. I would highly recommend IPT-SL if you are looking for a good PT provider.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone's really friendly and supportive here! You really feel like they're on your team and that they want to support your recovery through your successes and speed bumps. It feels more like hanging out with friends who are helping you with your physical therapy. They're experts in what they do and any wait time is very minimal.

Experiencia fantástica: Overall, my experience at Impact has been very positive. The therapists, including Shannon, Kristin and Liz, are all knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The assisting staff are also friendly and helpful. The South Loop site feels clean and safe with the Covid precautions they have in place. I would highly recommend their physical therapy services.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve seen both Shannon and Kristen at Impact and worked with the other practitioners there during my exercises. It’s an extremely friendly environment and they’re very understanding about what you can and can’t do depending on your injury/pain. They give you different exercises to try so it doesn’t get too repetitive, and the massage/body work portion of the appointment is really nice. I’ve never seen a physical therapist that worked so much on me - helping me stretch, pushing joints into place, etc, than at Impact. Often times I would go and they would maybe massage for 5 minutes before sending me to do exercises. I absolutely recommend Impact!!

Experiencia fantástica: I love it here! I usually see Shannon, but everyone is very nice and helpful also. Especially Sue! I started therapy for a shoulder injury in late September/early October (can’t remember) and my shoulder pain and movement has gotten better since. I also get a great workout every time I go which I love. If you’re looking to start PT this is the place to be.

Experiencia fantástica: Shannon Antwerp is one of the best physical therapists in Chicago. She does amazing work with dry needling. Since starting physical therapy, I've experienced relief in my neck/shoulders/right arm all of which have been impacted by various accidents over the years. Thanks to Shannon and the folks at Impact Physical Therapy, I'm doing a lot better!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had the opportunity to use Liz and most of the staff during my period of physical therapy and say they are the best. They are warm, friendly, attentive, professional and most of all interested in your needs and your thoughts concerning how the therapy is working for you. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I have been treated by impact physical therapy for years. All of the therapist are good and attentive especially the therapist we usually see, Liz Yerly. She is knowledgeable and is open and flexible to try multiple treatments to address your needs. I have to travel to be treated by her. But I don’t mind because I have complete confidence in her ability to provide and suggest treatments to address my needs

Experiencia fantástica: I have received fantastic care at Impact. I’ve seen Liz for years because she is amazing and always new things for me to try so that my body and I can work better as a team. She’s help me get back in my feet after injuries, maintain a healthy body, and I am confident that I have far fewer injuries because I do what she says. I don’t like going to doctors, but I love going to Impact. They take the time to get to know you and they want to help you meet your fitness goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Best therapists in town-- I have been seeing Liz for about five years for different injuries. I am an endurance athlete and it takes a village to keep doing what I love. I am happy that Liz and Impact Physical Therapy is part of my team.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy. I have been treated for several different issues at Impact, including knee, hip, hamstring and shoulder. Impact is a great PT place for athletes and active people--I am a highly active person in my late 20s, and the Impact South Loop physical therapists have all been supportive in helping me reach my ideal level of physical activity; when I told them I wanted to mitigate my pain enough to be able to run, they continually worked with me to reach that goal and never suggested that I give it up. I have worked predominately with Liz Yearly, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist. Liz is proficient in a variety of techniques and draws on these to create an individualized treatment plan. The South Loop physical therapists have a great team dynamic--they will consult with each other on your case to get each others' opinion and draw on each other's strengths to create a strong treatment plan for you. All the staff members at Impact South Loop are friendly, personable and professional. Questions about insurance or scheduling are always responded to promptly. The location has a friendly, communal atmosphere that makes physical therapy an enjoyable experience.

Experiencia fantástica: My son is having a great experience rehabbing from a tennis injury at Impact. I am so thankful for the referral and will definitely recommend them to others. Kristen his therapist is very knowledgeable and engaging. She is THE Best!

Experiencia fantástica: Paul Thomas of Impact PT is one of the most incredible physical therapists on the planet. I came to see him with a persistent and puzzling injury that nobody had been able to address for over five months. Paul took to the problem like Sherlock Holmes. He listened carefully to the complete injury history, then proposed a detailed treatment plan that was totally different from everything I had tried. His strategy was spot-on, and I improved significantly even in the first session. Throughout my whole course of treatment, Paul was enthusiastic, focused, and dedicated. He's brilliant, and he truly cares about his patients. Working with Paul gives you real confidence that you WILL recover. More generally, I'm really impressed by the environment at Impact. Liz, Paul, and their team are committed to helping you get back to activity as rapidly as possible – safely, and stronger than ever before.

Experiencia fantástica: There's nothing like getting injured while training for a marathon to take all of the wind out of your sails. My pelvic stress fracture left me devastated and emotionally and physically uncomfortable. Going through physical therapy at IMPACT with Kara Mathys not only allowed me to return to running safely, but made me a more knowledgable, stronger, faster, and smarter runner. Up front, Kara took the time to hear what happened, and really listen to and assess every aspect of my injury and running history. She was incredibly knowledgable about my injury and all of the muscles in my body we could target and strengthen to avoid a recurring injury moving forward. Every week she gave me hope. She listened, encouraged, and pushed me when I needed it most. Recovering from a stress fracture is tricky business; you need to do enough but not too fast and not too much too fast. Kara helped me navigate through seamlessly; while never seeming to tire of my constant babble and over-worrying. She taught me better running form thru analyzing my gate with video gate analysis, and worked with me to strengthen muscles I would need to support my new running form. She helped me make a plan of attack every week, and answered every new question and concern I had. In addition to the top notch care I received from Kara and all of the PT assistants, the facilities and equipment at IMPACT were clean, useful and spacious. For any runner hoping to move through PT quickly, you'll want to go to IMPACT to use their life-changing AlterG treadmill. The facility also has a nice shower area so you can knock out PT early in the morning before work. I strongly recommend IMPACT Physical Therapy and Kara Mathys.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is the best! Kara fixed a shoulder issue that was 15 years old. Old injury (that included a dislocation, fracture, and rotator cuff tear), was not properly rehabbed when it happened, but after a couple of months, things are back to proper working condition. Prior to my time at Impact, I didn't realize how bad my shoulder was. Now, I am back to swimming 4-5 times a week and am in training for nationals in May. Not bad for a broken down old guy in his 40s. I would highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AT WHAT SHE DOES, and by that I mean, she helps you recover from whatever ailments you may have whether it's fixing your body from your athletic-endeavors or recovering from total hip replacement surgery -- Her and her staff do an amazing job. The South Loop is so damn lucky to have her here.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here seeking treatment for long-term, nagging hamstring pain that had not been fixed by a variety of treatments tried by a previous doc and a previous PT. Kara Mathys re-assessed me, ran me through some great strengthening exercises and localized treatment (dry needling and scraping), and when that didn't work, kept at it to figure out the problem was in my back, not at the site. She stretched me out to improve back mobility, and I'm finally healed. Thoughtful approach, great attitude, listens well, fun to work with. Thanks, Kara!
