Philosophy

Andersonville Physical Therapy is an orthopedic rehabilitation and wellness center on Chicago’s North Side. We provide expert, one-on-one care and education in a professional, healing environment. Our mission is to provide high-quality rehabilitation while teaching healthy body alignment, so our patients heal quickly and can stay active.

Your physical therapist will evaluate your injured area, the surrounding structures and, if necessary, the alignment of your entire body. Using manual therapy, gentle exercise, neuromuscular reeducation and modalities, we will first work to decrease your pain and promote tissue healing. We will develop a plan together to rehabilitate your problem area and restore normal function.

As we progress your care and initiate stretching and strengthening exercises, we teach you the basics of how your body moves and how to find your best neutral body alignment—when your body is in neutral alignment, your muscles are in a better position to absorb shock and protect your joints. Our therapists work to help you integrate correct posture habits and alignment into your home exercise program and daily life. We give you the knowledge and confidence to prevent re-injury and achieve whole-body wellness.

Education

At Andersonville Physical Therapy, we believe it is our role to teach our patients and members of our community about how to keep their bodies healthy. In both private sessions and classes that are open to the community, we’ll talk about what exactly is happening in your body and teach you what you can do to maximize your body’s ability to heal itself. We’re passionate about sharing this information and helping members of our community to find and maintain a healthy body alignment.
