Lakeshore Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: A family member referred me to Lakeshore PT and I am so happy I chose to come here! Each of my sessions were completely 1-on-1 and focused on my needs. I worked with Kevin H. who was amazing and beyond knowledgeable. Thanks to him, my knee is feeling much better and stronger! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Julia after a severe ankle sprain, and she is the best! Very knowledgeable, caring and concerned. My healing was accelerated with her guidance. The office staff is helpful and efficient. Love the convenient location and lots of free parking.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience here with a recent knee injury. Kevin Stiff was excellent: very knowleadgable, fully understood the nuances of how my knee was structurally pressured from incorrect loadsharing of different muscles. Kevin came up with a great path to recovery which I think will benefit me greatly in the long run. I strengthened muscles I did't even know I had and I'm back on the tennis court. Thanks Kevin!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had 2 major issues totally resolved by working with Kevin Hill and Kevin Stiff. Both are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. All of the staff are accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience here. Most recently saw Kevin Hill for upper back and neck pain that restricted my ability to exercise and he was great. He was prepared for every appointment and we were constantly improving on what we covered from the past visit. He asks good questions to understand the pain and clearly explains his thoughts on what the issues are and why his recommendations will address those issues. He even spent time with me in the gym during my final visits to show me proper form for several exercises to hopefully avoid future problems. I have also seen Constance and Kate in the past for lower back and upper back issues and was equally impressed with them - very responsive, seek to understand what’s going on, and helped solve my issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Kevin Hill was amazing. I had neck issues from a concussion that I was dealing with for a year. I had seen multiple PTs without resolution, but Kevin got me feeling better in about a months time. Super knowledgeable and caring about his clients. Would recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I've had three encounters with Lakeshore Physical Therapy, and previously wrote about the first, which involved shoulder rehab. More recently (in 2022), I was a patient twice (aging has its physical price, especially when physically active). I worked with Kelly for a calf injury, and she was diligent and got me back on the tennis court quickly and efficiently. More recently (late summer), I had a recurrence of sciatic nerve pain, which was excruciating. I chose Julia Glick as my therapist for this treatment as she is trained in the McKenzie method, which I've been an adherent to for years. Julia demonstrated professionalism and empathy, as this was an emotionally trying time due to the pain and the fear that I would no longer play tennis. I've waited to send this review so I could report that I did return to playing tennis after about 6-8 weeks of PT and I've now been playing without any recurrence for 6 months. It's a reminder that physical therapy is as much about how to manage your condition proactively so it doesn't recur as it is about treating the original injury. I am grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Lakeshore PT is awesome! I've been a patient for two different issues & my experiences have been above & beyond. Julia, Candace, & Meg are knowledgeable, considerate, & effective PTs who truly work WITH you. Both times I've come away with more strength, more range of motion, & less pain, plus at home exercises that are easy to incorporate into my daily routine & workouts to help keep my symptoms at bay. I'd recommend Lakeshore PT to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: We have gone to several other Physical Therapy places over the years, and there really is no comparison. From the initial assessment to the ongoing appointments, they really look after you and feel very personalized not to mention get the results. Even the backoffice is amazingly run and works with our insurance seamlessly. Can't speak highly enough of Meg and team!

Experiencia fantástica: The therapy provided helped relieve my neck and arm pain substantially and strengthen my upper body as a whole. Meg was always coming up with new exercises and stretches that when worked in combination was useful as a two pronged approach. I would suggest this group to anyone who wants a long term solution as opposed to a temporary relief plan.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Meg at Lake Shore PT for a year and she has helped me to find ways to cope, and manage the pain in my neck/shoulder I have sustained for years. She has also gone above and beyond to address other issues to improve my physical outlook and overall well being. The staff is also great. Wren makes sure my appts are lined up and happily reschedules if a conflict comes up. I highly recommend LSPT, they remain kind and compassionate to give you the best physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the best experience at Lakeshore Physical Therapy, starting with my initial phone call to inquire about the PT services offered, to setting up appointments, to working with Kelly, my amazing therapist. She was the perfect mix of professional, personable, and of course, very talented in providing me the physical therapy I needed. I looked forward to my appointments with Kelly every week. All of the staff members are friendly and professional, and the physical space is attractive and comfortable . There are many PT organizations out there, and you will not go wrong in choosing Lakeshore.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Lakeshore Physical Therapy. have worked with Kelly Thomsen twice in the past year, once for a lower back injury, and once for a shoulder injury. She got me to pain free both times! My teenage son also worked with her after hurting his shoulder playing soccer. She is knowledgeable, current, thorough, has great continuity between sessions, and is enjoyable to spend time with—- all great qualities of a PT. The Office Manager Wren is stellar, one of the best. Helpful, efficient, attentive to sanitizing. Also, super convenient, as you can fit it in before or after a workout.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Lakeshore Physical Therapy was excellent. Meg was knowledgeable, personable, encouraging and empathetic. She knows her stuff! I had rotator cuff surgery and after several sessions with Meg I went from limited shoulder movement to a much greater range of motion and greater strength. The staff at Lakeshore was friendly and well organized. The facilities are first class. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently used Lakeshore Physical Therapy for an elbow injury I incurred (falling off my bike). It's the 2nd time I've used them (ther other time after my knee replacement) and always feel I get incredibly thoughtful, professional treatment and great advice. I feel I am pretty knowledgeable about my body (I used to be a dancer) but these folks always know a LOT more than I do. This time around, I had Kelly and she worked miracles on my arm -- strength, flexibility, rotation. I think it might be in better shape now than when I injured it!

Experiencia fantástica: The silver lining out of having suffered a very serious leg injury last year was in being referred to Lakeshore Physical Therapy and to its owner/leader, Sally Fansler. Two and one-half months of being non-weight bearing on the injured leg left me unable to walk and with a knee that was bent at a 36-degree angle, which my orthopedist said would saddle me with a permanent limp if allowed to persist. I cannot say enough good things about Sally as a physical therapist—a truly outstanding professional—and my physical therapy experiences with LSPT. I began PT with her before I was cleared to bear weight on my injured leg and continued with sessions two times a week for several months. Each session was personalized and geared to build on prior ones and to push my progress further. Her range of exercises and cadence, knowing when to implement a new level, was very impressive to me—and more importantly, effective. All this was done very attentively. Sally spent a good deal of time assessing my condition during each session’s activities by asking questions—what hurt when and to what degree—and by keen observation skills to identify areas of weakness and/or compensation. Subsequent sessions would thoughtfully incorporate this knowledge with new exercises and/or activities. She even deduced and addressed an unresolved issue from an injury to the same leg 7 years prior that my physical therapist at that time missed (not LSPT). In addition to helping me achieve my objective (full mobility), I also learned a lot from Sally. She was always happy to answer my questions (sometimes prosaic, is this normal?) and explained a lot of physiology along the way. While I only had two sessions with another therapist on her team when Sally was on holiday, I did have many weeks and months to observe a number of her staff in action and what I saw was a very professional, caring and capable team. I will also compliment LSPT on all aspects administrative--ease of scheduling appointments, handling insurance issues and providing regular updates to my care team, etc.—that part was such a breeze. Sally and her team were also very responsive to my emails. All in all, this was a first-class experience. Sally is a top-notch physical therapist who leads a great team of PT professionals. I received truly excellent and genuine care and can highly recommend LSPT.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m a long time runner who got waylaid by a series of maladies and thought my running days were over. But Julia Glick a physical therapist at Lake Shore put me back together and I’m running pain free! She provided me with the tools and exercises to heal my frame and now I’m looking for a fall race. Truly amazing! Thanks Julia!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Lakeshore Physical Therapy was wonderful. There’s plenty of parking on site, it’s very clean, and everyone there is super friendly and good at what they do. Julia is an amazing therapist with a great sense of humor! I went in because I found out I had arthritis in my right toe. I could hardly walk. Simultaneously, the whole right side of my body was in so much pain and I was experiencing tingling and numbness down my right arm , hand and foot. Julia got me on the right track by teaching me gentle strengthening and balancing exercises. She also used healing manual therapy to help loosen my muscles which were compressing my nerves. I feel so much better now and know how to help myself if my body gets stuck again.

Experiencia fantástica: Lakeshore PT is fantastic! Our competitive swimming teen daughter saw Meg for a shoulder injury that could have been career ending. Meg helped her not only get the shoulder back in shape, but also taught her strategies, stretches & exercises to keep the shoulder healthy! Meg & the whole LSP PT team are responsive, experienced, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Would highly, highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Sx weeks ago I was experiencing both neck/ shoulder pain and tingling in my hands upon waking. I love working out and playing tennis and I was really starting to feel like the pain was interfering with my life. From our first appointment Kelly was able to immediately pinpoint some very tight areas and muscular imbalances that were causing my nerve to be irritated. She was so knowledgeable and professional and assured me we would be able to get this under control and I would come back stronger than ever. Kelly spent the first half of our sessions with a a neck/ shoulder massage to release the knots and tight muscles-she knew the exact amount of pressure to leave me feeling really loose on some of my most uncomfortable days. We then would start our exercises which became progressively more challenging as I became stronger. Kelly was great at explaining what was going on with my muscles and it was so encouraging to come back week after week with reports of feeling stronger and pain-free. Waking up free of tingling was most exciiting and Kelly was genuinely happy for me- it is obvious she is passionate about her work and really wants to help her patients. I never had to wait to be seen nor had any difficulties scheduling appointments. I am very happy to be feeling like myself but stronger and more aware of what my body needs to function at the level I expect. As a former dancer I was in and out of PT during my teenage years and my experience at Lakeshore Physical Therapy absolutely trumps them all. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for knowledgeable, professional care that yields results and healing. Thank you Kelly!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Meg was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful, both during our first consultation and subsequent PT sessions. I felt very comfortable working with her and have noticed positive changes since starting PT with her!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff, especially Meg and Julia, were great and extremely knowledgeable. Meg designed a specific hamstring and shoulder stretching programs for my daughter, Rachel, who is the 2022 Class 3A Illinois High School 100m, 4x100m relay and 4x200m relay State Champion. Additionally, Meg used “dry needling” on Rachel’s shoulders and hamstrings. Rachel fondly calls this dry needling process, “the needles of death”. However, the results speak for themselves. This process allowed Rachel to regain the flexibility and mobility needed to compete and succeed at the highest level. Lakeshore Physical Therapy and Meg have my COMPLETE trust. Albert Robinson, Olympian

Experiencia fantástica: Julia was fantastic at Lakeshore Physical Therapy. I had multiple issues and she confidently diagnosed all of them and we got to work immediately. I felt relief after seeing her just a few times and her consistent follow-up with instructions for at-home exercises was very helpful. I felt so good about my experience that I immediately sent my athletic son to her for some shoulder and back issues. I highly recommend Julia!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Lakeshore Physical Therapy has always been top notch. From the scheduling process, intake, care plans and the great therapists I'm always back on my feet in no time. The extra care and effort to communicate well with my other care providers has meant my recovery plans and maintenance plans are coordinated, managed and sustainable. Special call out to Julia!

Experiencia fantástica: Best Chicago-area physical therapy, special recommendation for Meg Crowley. Meg and other LSPT experts focus on your needs to prevent and treat sports injuries, etc. Their focused, customized and educational treatment empower you with short-term practice work to build habits for long-term wellness. LSPT helps you strengthen to maximize your mobility and flexibility for sustainable active gain. All therapists and staff are helpful, calm and positive in safe and clean space. Their effective scheduling is another bonus.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Lakeshore Physical Therapy this Spring after hurting my back while getting back into weightlifting after the pandemic. Julia did a great job not only providing exercises but also explaining WHY each exercise was important and why it was helping. When I couldn't make our normal appointment she still called me to see how I was progressing and modified my routine based on my feedback - without even setting foot in the office! Finally, for those who are focused on weight lifting this is the perfect practice because it's located inside of a sports club with a full gym (including olympic weight platforms). That allowed me to work on my technique with my therapist in a "real world" powerlifting environment which was extremely beneficial.

Experiencia fantástica: I had low back pain that was making it difficult to walk. My daughter had a great experience at Lakeshore PT and recommended I call Julia at their office. Julia knows her business; she recommended specific exercises to correct the problem and accommodate my limited mobility. She was always on time, and she coordinated with my personal trainer about my progress. I am now pain free and have the tools I need to stay healthy. In addition, the office is well organized, there is great communication with my doctor and interface with the insurance company is seamless, thanks to Lauren. I felt their COVID safety measures were well thought out, so it was comfortable to be in the office for treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: My doctor advised me to see a physical therapist for lower back pain caused by degenerating discs. I've been working with Meg Crawley at Lakeshore Physical Therapy over a 6 mos. time period. She varied the physical therapy treatments while constantly assessing my strength and mobility. It was a pleasure working with her and I'm very pleased the progress we made.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to LPT for lower back pain and worked with Meg. Not only was she super knowledgeable and responsive to feedback, she was super nice and I always enjoyed talking to her during my visits. Meg walked me through a lot of really great exercises during our sessions and also made sure to give me exercises to complete at home. After a few weeks of PT my back feels WAY better than it did when I first started and I'm so happy with the results. Highly recommended! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience with LSF Physical Therapy! Julia was professional and so knowledgeable. I went to her with a rotator cuff injury. She not only explained all the details of my shoulder to me, she taught me the importance of strengthening the shoulder girdle and using correct form while working out. I can’t recommend her and LSF enough! If you are injured, go see Julia ASAP!

Experiencia fantástica: I truly cannot say enough great things about Lakeshore Physical Therapy. I was fortunate to work with Kelly Thomsen and she completely transformed and resolved the issues I was experiencing with my right knee. I no longer worry about experiencing knee pain as a result from exercising and feel confident moving forward in the plan she has created for me to maintain the strength I've gained from PT. Kelly is a wonderful, kind person and I really enjoyed my time working with her! Every staff member I interacted with at Lakeshore PT was extremely friendly and Lauren was amazing at answering questions over email and helping reschedule appointments as needed. Thank you to the entire team at Lakeshore for taking part in my knee recovery, I am so grateful!

Experiencia fantástica: Julia Glick is very skilled at identifying exercises which address your condition. She was able to identify exercises which helped me regain use of muscles I had given up on. She was very good in determining which exercises I should be doing at home at which should be done under her supervision at PT sessions. Her supportive personality is also a great plus. Working with her was a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so glad to have found Lakeshore Physical Therapy. I worked with Julia and Meg and both of them are fantastic! I had a nagging knee issue that started 15 years ago - I’ve been to other PTs and have always left frustrated. These ladies were patient, listened to my needs, and greatly helped me reduce my pain. After graduating from physically therapy, Meg helped match me with a trainer to continue my building strength and has checked in to make sure I am progressing. She has gone above and beyond. For the first time in a long time, my knee is feeling great and I am not worried about regressing. In addition to being an office full of incredibly smart and kind clinicians, each physical therapist only sees one patient at a time. This is so important. I’ve been to therapists that juggle patients and it’s so much harder for them to catch form adjustments, hear immediate feedback from patients etc. I believe I was able to recover faster because of the 1:1 attention I received.

Experiencia fantástica: A woman in Wisconsin (!) recommended Lakeshore Physical therapy on Fullerton Avenue in Chicago (!). So my wife had driven up to Wisconsin to visit her brother, while I was stuck in Chicago, unable to handle a car ride to Wisconsin because I was having to deal with back pain, a frozen shoulder, and vertigo all at the same time. I wasn’t eager to try physical therapy because my last experience with PT elsewhere hadn’t been all that successful, leaving me to wonder if my seventy-nine-year-old body was just going to have to live with decline and pain. But while up in Wisconsin my wife happened to mention to a woman my various woes, and the woman immediately and enthusiastically recommended Lakeshore PT. So with mixed feelings I called Lakeshore to see about an appointment, and right off the bat I got a positive vibe: Lauren, the admin who answered the phone was very pleasant and super-efficient. I couldn’t help but suspect then and there that Lakeshore was going to work out well for me. Lauren quickly got me through the admin details and set up for me a convenient time for an evaluation with Julia Glick, the staff’s therapist with the earliest opening in her schedule. Thank you Wisconsin! Julia evaluated me thoroughly, pleasantly, and positively, immediately starting me on a regimen of two PT sessions each week at Lakeshore and of daily home exercises that quickly started to show—halleluiah!!!—progress on all fronts. And believe you me, the fact that my less than responsive well-worn body responded so well and so quickly to the regimen says volumes about Julia’s spot-on therapy. As good as that was, it worked all the better because of Julia’s mix of expertise, clear but jargon-free explanations, exceptional humor, obvious concern for my overall well-being, and ready availability for my questions and concerns outside of office visits. I’m now able to go for brisk long walks, work out vigorously on a stationary bike and a rowing machine, do lifting with light weights , and do the New York Times seven-minute high-intensity interval workout. Since “graduating” from Julia’s sessions with me, I have had a slight set-back with my shoulder (too vigorous with the weights?), but Julia has been quick to use phone calls and emails in guiding me back to my arm’s pain-free range of motions. Let me add that on one occasion when Julia was not available, I worked with one of her associates, Sally Fansler, whose session with me was just as pleasant and effective as my sessions with Julia had been. Safe to bet, Lakeshore PT has got some kind of staff! Thank you Lakeshore PT: no, I don’t have to live with pain!

Experiencia fantástica: Julia Glick and the entire team at Lake Shore were wonderful from start to finish. The intake/reception service was prompt and proactive--they got back to me quickly without any need for follow up on my end and were so easy to work with scheduling. Julia, the therapist I worked with, was exactly what you look for in PT: thoughtful, careful in consideration about all potential treatment options, easy to talk with, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I came in for TMJ issues, and Julia and her team had a wealth of experience to identify and treat the issue. Weeks later I am almost fully recovered and would recommend the team at Lakeshore to anyone. Thanks so much!

Experiencia fantástica: In April 2021, I experienced my first (and hopefully last) bout of sciatica. Not knowing what to do, I found Julia Glick, Physical Therapist and she outlined some key first steps in a video-phone consultation. The main thing was to speak with an MD and get a steroid pack. Once I was able to actually move, she suggested physical therapy (never pushing to see her specifically). I was seen by Julia, who is very knowledgable and passionate about anatomy and biomechanics. After a complete in-person evaluation, we worked on specific stretches and movements to help improve muscle condition and imbalances, which most likely caused the sciatica. With clear instruction, homework and personal check-ins, I was able to get back to normal in about 2 months. I'm honestly not sure what I would have done without Julia's professional help and guidance. I would highly recommend Julia.

Experiencia fantástica: Lakeshore PT is the BEST. I've been for treatment when I hurt my knee while training for a marathon as well as for my lower back. Julia is extremely helpful and thoughtful based on your needs/what you'll realistically be able to do between appointments. I highly recommend booking with her and going to Lakeshore in general!

Experiencia fantástica: As we get older and our body parts break down, I have found it essential to have a good physical therapist. Luckily for me, I have found that in Sally at Lakeshore Physical Therapy. Over the years she has helped me through tennis elbow, two knee replacements, and a frozen shoulder, all with great results. On the rare occasion that Sally wasn't available, I've found her associates to be equally knowledgeable and helpful in aiding me through my rehabilitation. The Fullerton location is very convenient, on the 2nd floor of Lakeshore Sports & Fitness, with ample parking outside, and any equipment you might need to warm up before your appointment. Wren, the office manager is friendly, professional, and does a great job with scheduling and insurance issues. I would highly recommend Lake Shore Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I spent a lot of time here before and after shoulder surgery. Getting injured is no fun. And investing so much time into physical therapy also shouldn't be too fun. But working with Julia at Lakeshore really was a great experience (outside of the whole shoulder-surgery aspect.) I credit her with not only helping my shoulder recover from surgery, but also with preventing my other shoulder from needing surgery. Her care and attention far exceeded my expectations. First, the best thing about this place compared to Athletico is that you work with a therapist individually for your entire session. I went to Athletico a few years ago following knee surgery. Most of my time was spent alone, with a therapist essentially overseeing my independent work along with that of several other patients at the same time. My 40 minute session included 10 minutes of solo warmup and 10 minutes of solo icing, leaving 20 minutes in the middle that were still shared with other patients. At Lakeshore I worked with Julia, who has plenty of experience with my specific type of injury. We worked one-on-one for the entirety of every single session. She was always prepared - making individualized workouts not only based on my injury and current progress, but based on my fitness level and future future fitness goals. I felt appropriately challenged each day while Julia provided fantastic instruction. I even would get excellent anatomy lessons! Julia explained the reason behind doing what we did, and made sure that my questions were always answered. I walked away with a much healthier and stronger shoulder and as a more knowledgeable athlete. I have a ton of exercises in my toolbelt. In fact, when my time was done, my repaired shoulder was even a bit stronger than my non-injured shoulder. And she's just a super nice person and fun to hang with! The facility is clean and contains pretty much all the equipment you'd need, including a full gym and pool. Since this is inside an entire club, the other facilities are there when needed. Lauren at the front desk is super friendly and accommodating. I've worked with a few other therapists there as well, and all were knowledgeable, prepared and extremely friendly. I couldn't recommend this place enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Julia Glick at Lakeshore PT saved my athletic career! I was struggling with loss of mobility in my ankle due to an injury. Other Physical Therapists minimized my injury and concerns, but Julia found the exact problem and worked with me until I was satisfied with the results. She meticulously listened to my needs and did not give up until I was completely healed and stronger than before. She is constantly educating herself on better ways to help her clients and it really shows. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for someone who actually listens to what is hurting you, and has multiple tactics on how to go about healing you, Julia is your perfect match.

Experiencia fantástica: When I started physical therapy I had a pinched nerve in my back and was in considerable pain. In addition, because of the pandemic, I elected to do PT remotely. I have high praise for Lakeshore Physical Therapy and particularly for Meg Crowley. Meg carefully put together a regimen of exercises that relieved my pain and strengthened my body and all this with the two of us on our laptops! I highly recommend both Meg and Lakeshore Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a torn Achilles tendon. Sally and all of the therapists I worked with at Lakeshore Physical Therapy were great! Extremely knowledgeable, supportive and focused on my recovery. They also cured my daughter's knee pain. She had gone to another PT practice, done their exercises and had not improved. After a few sessions at Lakeshore Physical Therapy she was pain free.

Experiencia fantástica: After hip replacement surgery I started rehab with Julia the following day. I don't know what I would have done without her guidance. The road to mobility after a hip replacement is not a straight one, but Julia's knowledge, encouragement and sense of humor (very important!) helped me stay positive. The combination of targeted exercises and manual relief of affected muscles not only gave me the ability to walk without a limp for the first time in more than a year, but regain overall strength. Unlike corporate physical therapy clinics, I worked solely with Julia who developed a plan that was specific to my strengths and weaknesses. My treatment period happened to coincide with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lakeshore PT quickly put a plan in place to prevent the spread of the virus. I was reassured by the social distancing, use of face masks, disinfection protocol and hand washing hygiene that was required for all staff and patients. Even with the stress of living through this difficult time, the staff at Lakeshore Physical Therapy remained cheerful, encouraging and ready to help in any way. Since I recently "graduated", I miss seeing my Lakeshore family on a regular basis, but I know that they will be there when I need them. A five star rating is not enough!!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Julia for some issues related to my back, neck, arms and also helping me work on my core post-baby. She was the best PT I have ever had. She knew her subject matter, she was very practical, and she gave me tips on how to help keep myself healthy for the long term. Both Julia and Lakeshore Physical Therapy were always very responsive, kind and courteous to deal with. Would highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I know several people that have worked with Lakeshore Physical Therapy and they strongly recommended that I give them a try. In the time of the pandemic I was heartened to learn that Lakeshore PT offered TeleMedicine visits. My complaint was that I felt pain in my left hip every time I walked or exercised. My therapist, Julia, was a very good listener and quite attentive. She did a full evaluation and put me at ease that I did not need hip surgery. Julia offered me a series of what seemed to me to be a combination of breathing and stretching to correct my hip rotation. Julia followed up every visit with notes and diagrams how to do my exercises. We met weekly. In about a month's time the pain in my hip was gone and the source of the problem was significantly improved. I recommend Lakeshore Physical Therapy. Their therapists are patient and caring and best of all achieve excellent outcomes.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Julia. She was very knowledgeable and the exercises she prescribed really aided in strengthening my knee post surgery. The personalized approach at Lakeshore PT is much better than going to a larger chain where the therapist is usually only with you for a short period then you are left to do exercises on your own for the rest of the appointment time.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Lakeshore PT for lower back pain that was being cause by my hip. I saw Kelly for a month and she fixed me right up! Kelly was super professional, personable, and really took special care to ensure she was providing me with the right exercises to not only fix the pain, but make me stronger. The whole staff was super friendly and easy to work with. It was a seamless process and I would definitely recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with Julia several times over the last couple of years following shoulder and knee procedures. She has also addressed an acute foot issue. She is wonderful! I have complete faith in her. She is professional, personable, knowledgeable and client focused. I like the 1 on 1 sessions at Lakeshore. The entire staff is friendly and easy to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Lakeshore PT is great. Julia's expert custom care literally got me back on my feet (fully). Most importantly, she took the time to completely diagnose my bad habits to prevent future injuries (as long as I'm diligent, of course). Julia put together a fully customized program for me and gave me exercises I could use through my recovery and beyond. She emailed me info on all of the different exercises as we progressed and answered all of my dumb questions. The entire staff is great and never had an issue scheduling or discussing my issue with other PTs. Can't say enough good things.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Sally at Lakeshore PT after a long and frustrating with another Physical Therapy service in Chicago. Despite spending a lot of time at their clinic and also trying to do my many exercises at home, my right knee did not feel better. Sally, upon completing her initial exam and hearing about my previous PT history, focused on my knee, discovered a former trauma that was not recognized before, simplified my PT exercises to a targeted and shorter routine that was realistic. I could do them at home every day. Besides the manual treatment, Sally was also personally available to show and help me do exercises at the clinic, revise my routine following her observations. Lauren, the exceptional office manager, was very helpful with scheduling and insurance issues. She was always positive and patient. I gladly graduated from Lakeshore PT, something that I had started thinking was not possible. My right knee has no more scar tissue and I can play tennis pain free.
