Making an appointment at React Physical Therapy is the first step on the road to recovery. The second step? Not quite as much fun but necessary. Download the new patient forms below and share your medical history with us. It's the fastest way to get on to step three: recovery! As always, if you have any questions, the React Physical Therapy billing team is here to help.
Once we diagnose your symptoms, we'll create a customized treatment plan from our comprehensive physical therapy services. Traditional physical therapy focuses on treating the point of injury, but thanks to our founder David Reavy, we've pushed beyond those limitations with the Reavy Method, a proprietary approach that activates your entire body.
From the first physical therapy session, we will use our proprietary methods developed by founder David Reavy to release muscle restrictions and activate your muscles. We will find the cause of your pain and treat the site of your injury by using our hands-on therapy. Throughout your treatment, we will continue to reassess how your body is functioning and responding to ensure your therapy evolves as you progress.
Compensation means the body is working harder in one area to offset a deficiency in another area. An athlete's body is so finely tuned that they can get away with compensating longer than the average person and will wear themselves down in order to perform. But sooner or later the inefficiencies will catch up to them.
Chronic pain is a constant companion, putting limits on what you can do and dragging your energy down. People search for ways to alleviate chronic pain, but that task is difficult and needs to be well managed. Chronic pain treatment methods vary from the traditional - chiropractic therapy, pain-killers, analgesics, electrical nerve therapy - to the modern - hypnosis and meditation.

I worked with the folks at React for over a year, and had a fantastic experience all around. I appreciated the care and expertise of the physical therapists, as well as the assistants, in helping me recover from a foot injury. They were easy to schedule, always open to adding modifications to exercises depending on how my body was responding that day, and encouraging as I progressed through treatment. If I ever am in need of physical therapy in the future, this will be my first call. 10/10, recommend to all.

There is no better physical therapy method and facilities in the Chicago and outlying suburbs.
They aren’t inexpensive but the outcome outweighs the prices.
The collaboration with their professionals is second to none. They will make you stronger and adjust the weaknesses one has, especially post operative if that is your situation. The group will share methods that are easily completed at home if you are willing to put in the hard work.

I could not be more grateful for the talented therapists at React. Franco is a genius and has helped me regain so much functional movement while eliminating pain. I have also gained confidence and a better understanding of what's possible when exercising. I've been to many different facilities but never had results like this before. The facility is state of the art and everyone is wonderful. If you are getting a bit older and stuck in a cycle of injury I suggest you come for a consultation right away!

Franco Calabrese at React Physical Therapy (West Loop) is incredible and my go-to PT whenever injured. Always humble (explaining step-by-step in terms I, with a non-medical background, understand), Franco is knowledgable, up-to-date with new treatments and has helped restore strength as well as decreased pain in my foot after breaking two metatarsals. During my one-on-one appointment(s) with Franco he always provides his full attention/expertise to my situation and is such a great listener as well as dependable. He is caring and extremely positive, teaching me excersises/ stretches that have improved

I had a knee replacement in November 2020. I was 75 at the time. Very active: running, cycling, golf and body work. Worked with Andrew Yoon
and team for several months of recovery. The body manipulation and
exercises got me back on track. Am now able to do the activities I love to do thanks to Andrew and React.

Franco is the best. He's very knowledgeable and super personable, always making me feel at ease in my treatment---something I was concerned about with my injury. Although Franco was my main provider, I also worked with Angela, as well as two interns. It was a team effort. I'm so happy I chose React. The West Loop location is pretty large, and they also have an impressive array of equipment. I highly recommend React Physical Therapy West Loop!

Michele is seriously the best and the main reason I keep coming back to React. I go to React on a weekly basis for a chronic shoulder injury and I always leave feeling so much better than when I came in. Throughout our time together Michele has encouraged me to try a bunch of different exercises, stretches and even treatment options. Michele thought I might benefit from dry needling so she introduced me to Andrew who is also awesome. Can’t say enough good things about working with her, she truly is the best.

Kaitlin Iversen is nothing short of a magician! I have had many physical therapists in my life. Having had 8 total knee surgeries, including a total knee replacement at 38, and chronic pain in my back, hips, ankles, etc. due to compensation, core weakness from a c-section, and general misuse from gardening, carrying 3 kids around, teaching, and painting, I think I can say without a doubt that Kaitlin is the best PT I have ever had. She is incredibly patient, thorough, and knowledgeable regarding the minutia of human anatomy and how everything connects. I came to her with my body literally twisted
