She got right to the root of the problem and addressed each muscle individually. She identified many imbalances that ultimately caused my knee pain that I never knew I had. Even my overall posture has improved. I really enjoyed how much they got to know me, what I want to be doing, and what I am currently doing.
They catered my treatment to make sure I could gradually get back into what I used to be doing. They take great care in making sure that you are being taken care of, as well as explaining and teaching you what you need to know and do to help your own quality of life. Every physical therapist I interacted with was incredibly knowledgeable, and really listened to the problems I was having to create a very personalized plan.

Honestly the PT I had was way too aggressive and injured me. I have received physical therapy before and know it is not supposed to cause excruciating pain. The PT never checked in with me regarding pain and made uncomfortable/insensitive remarks. After 3 sessions I decided to be done and paid my balance via check. For months they had been telling me they didn't receive it, when I actually could see that they deposited my check months prior. After they threatened to send me to collections I finally snapped and called them and then suddenly they found my check... seems suspicious to me! Id

This should've been done for the downtown location, though, concerns the company's insurance coverage policy.
Since the post the company has agreed to resolve the situation. Though I appreciate their efforts, I am not inclined in continuing.
Please be sure to clarify what instance they accept, at the start.

I suffered from chronic jaw, neck, and shoulder pain for 8 years before finding this place. Within a few sessions with Jennifer Hobson and her team, I started feeling significantly better. After about half a year of work with them, I'm now at a place where my pain is manageable. I wish I found this place sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough for those who are suffering with similar pain.

I have extremely serious scoliosis. Three years ago my internist suggested I try Schroth method therapy which is a specific therapy for Scoliosis patients. I was always in pain, had two failed back surgeries and was so embarrassed about my curvature that I wanted to just hide. I thought I looked like a freak and I was in constant discomfort. Only my internist and Dr. Kosky suggested I try it. I went in with a pretty skeptical view of this type of physical therapy. I had had physical therapy in the past but had never tried Schroth Method which originated in Europe in the early 1900's

Mandy is my therapist at PhysioPartners. She is an experienced Physical Therapist, has excellent listening skills, and sets forth goals that are reasonable and challenging. I have a complex physical disability and over the last 10 years have had multiple treatment modalities, which included physical therapy from numerous providers. Prior to PhysioPartners I was in Shirley Ryans Clinic for a 1/2 day program, which included OT, PT and psychology. After completion my physician suggested PhysioPartners, and I must say that of all the PT I've received over the 10 plus years, Mandy has helped

Strongly recommend this physical therapy practice for local Chicagoans! I am working with Dr. Renuka on my TMJ and unstable jaw and she is fantastic—she is really good at identifying the root cause problem and communicating corrective actions. Dr. Renuka also made sure I understand everything we discussed and made me feel very comfortable during the whole process. I can say my needs have been supported wonderfully and I am happy to have chosen PhysioPartners!

I have been seeing Stephanie and Katrina for the Schroth Method over the past few months and absolutely recommend them!! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, they are considerate and have helped me decrease my pain and increase my mobility! They work wonders! Everything about my experience at Physiopartners has been excellent and surpassed my expectations!

Angela and Ake are excellent. I've come in for various issues over the years, including neck stiffness, shoulder pain, tight IT bands, and more. They always listen to me, involve me in making a plan, and they're just super friendly and professional. I couldn't ask for more from a physical therapist.

I would highly recommend Ake at Physio Partners. My foot doctor at Rush gave me a list of suggested locations to rehab my foot, but I decided to try out Physio Partners because I did not want to drive downtown, parking was convenient, and the facility was energizing and clean. I am very lucky to have been paired up with Ake. He is very professional, engaging, SMART, and knows every little detail about the body and how to make excellent suggestions for correction. Every session was slightly different with always focusing on my foot and all areas related to it. He was always on time, always

I went to physio partners for 1 on 1 physical therapy with Weena and occupational therapy with Caitlin. Their expertise and personal approach made my recovery process way easier to bear and understand. They always answered my questions and I kept them coming. Super knowledgeable staff and always friendly. They helped me get back to the sports I love and that's invaluable! Just make sure to stay diligent with your home PT.

It's been a few weeks since I completed my physical therapy sessions with Joe and I'm still feeling continued improvement! I saw Joe for some shoulder pinching that was causing me pain and discomfort (I also happened to be pregnant). We worked together for a couple weeks with exercises that focused on improving my range of motion, breaking up those pesky muscle knots, and stretching some hard-to-reach areas. Joe was a wonderful PT and I can't say enough great things about him and the team at PhysioPartners. Joe was always professional and very knowledgable, especially considering

I had shoulder surgery in August of 2018. I went to Physio Partners as it had been recommended to me by a friend. I began working with Katrina. She is the best! I loved my time with Katrina as she worked just with me not with several people at a time which was my experience at other PT places. Katrina is gentle and kind but straight forward and she knows how far to push you. She gently did not let me get away with not doing my homework. She really wanted to see me get the use of my shoulder back! Katrina was always prepared and used excellent use of my hour. I graduated from PT a lot sooner that

Due to hypermobility of many of my joints, including my hips and back I was in significant pain when I first moved to Chicago. Joe Ascher was great in helping me get back to 'normal' again, addressing the symptoms, but also identifying the exercises that I needed to strengthen in order to maintain a longer term fix. Beyond this, he also identified the cause (genetic) of the hypermobility so I know what to look out for in the future.

I saw Mandie at PhysioPartners after I had really bad back pain from pregnancy. She was quick to figure out what was wrong and get it fixed (luckily since I could barely walk). We met twice a week for a couple months and I was good to go! If you have any issues, I highly suggest checking PhysioPartners out.

After struggling with plantar faciitis, hip and lower back pain for 5 years I was thankfully referred to PhysioPartners by my Dr. 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

Kudos to PhysioPartners and Dr. Mandie Martuzzo!!! I was prescribed PT due to chronic shoulder and neck pain. I am most grateful for the genuine care and concern of my therapist, Mandie, but also the entire team there. The pain in both locations was rather stubborn and required some serious patience and tenacity on my part and Mandie's as well. I am thrilled to report a successful outcome and am so happy to feel "normal" again.
After my experience with Mandie and PhysioPartners, they are clearly THE BEST! If I could give 10 stars I would!

I went here for about 2 months in the summer for a knee injury, and I left with no knee pain and a lot of knowledge to help me keep myself in good physical health going forward. It has been 4 months since my last visit, and I still do not feel any knee pain, even after I am running or doing other exercises.
The staff were very friendly and nice, and the facility is impressive with all of the different tools and equipment they have. One thing that is great about this place is the appointments are 1-1 so you are getting a good amount of attention to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

This is the skinny! If you have low back pain or back pain of any kind, and you want to get better in a short time, go to Dr. Stephanie Penny. She has the rare combination of extensive knowledge and high-levels of intuition. I was diagnosed with Scoliosis back in September, and I am so much better by the end of October. I found her and the specialized Schroth Method Technique she uses as the key to me feeling better. I'm back to myself, and I attribute it to her unbelievable talent and expertise. Not only that, she is kind, helpful, empathic, and wants to give her patients hope that they

I came to Physio Partners because a massage therapist had suggested that the Schroth Method might be helpful for my ongoing back issues related to scoliosis. I've had back pain most of my life related to scoliosis and have seen several doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists, but nothing has helped.
Before I went to Physio Partners, I did some research on the Schroth Method. I found that Stephanie Penny at Physio Partners is one of the few Schroth Method providers in Chicago. Since I'd never heard of this method and it's not widely practiced, I had little hope, but decided

Definitely the best PT I have been too. My friend recommended her Physical therapist. He name is Stephanie Penny. I met with her for my appointments, she did a extremely thorough exam of my back. I have some low back pain and SI joint issues. She assessed the angles of my spine, tested my lower extremities flexibility. I started some sessions with her and started feeling better. I had to switch therapists because of the holidays and now I am working with Katie Alberts. She is also amazing. They work together to help me out. The front desk is extremely helpful and clear about what is being charged

This yelp review is long overdue!
After a horrendous car accident, I rolled into Lakeshore Sports in a wheelchair and multiple casts! Stephanie Penny worked with me from day one for almost nine months and I am so grateful to her for everything she helped me with while I was there! She pushed me and became someone I looked forward to seeing after school. Physical therapy and the recovery process was an incredibly difficult challenge for me and Stephanie really made the difference.
*One day I told Stephanie how much I liked the lemon scented hand sanitizer in the waiting area and on my last session

I'm pretty disappointed in this place and was rather hopeful.
I was initially unable to get my prescription from my doctor by the date of my appointment because of holidays and such. I did not cancel my appt. because of the $100 cancellation policy and I realized the script had not been sent the same day as the appt. I was dissuaded from rescheduling and was told that I should still come in. Upon arrival I filled out the forms and waited. The person working the front desk left shortly after I'd arrived and before I finished my forms without giving me further instructions.
No one explained
