Be Fit Physical Therapy & Pilates
Be Fit! Physical Therapy and Pilates is an independent rehabilitation and exercise facility. Be Fit! Physical Therapy & Pilates is here to take you to a fuller, happier life by reducing your pain, rehabilitating your injuries, and keeping your body strong. Our physical therapists are fully certified and hands-on!

If you need physical therapy, you will be treated by a real therapist and not handed off to a technician like some places do. Now, we do have technicians that are a very capable part of your overall treatment, but you will always have access to a physical therapist! Did you know the pain you feel in one spot in your body can actually be the result of a weakness somewhere else?

Be Fit Physical Therapy & Pilates, LTD, is an integrated physical therapy and Pilates center with a growing clientele. We are looking for a rock-star PT interested in working for private practice. We are located in downtown Downers Grove, about an hour west of downtown Chicago. The BNSF Metra stops just one block from our doorstep.
There is no one cause for back pain. The back has numerous bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. These add up to numerous opportunities for strain or injury, or pain that extends to the limbs. Eight out of every 10 adults will experience back pain at one point or another, making it the most common form of musculoskeletal pain.
The knee is a large joint that carries the the body's weight. It also endures stresses multiple times as great as a person's weight. While it's excellent at absorbing force during forward motions, it is not so great with stresses from twisting or side-cutting motions. That's why injures such as ACL and meniscus tears are often sustained by dancers and athletes making quick changes direction.
Relief from shoulder pain without having to take medications, injections or potential surgery. When people seek relief for shoulder pain, the next thing they want to know is what's causing it. Is it really the shoulder? Is it my neck, or is it the spine?

Therapists at Be Fit will take care to distinguish the cause of the pain, whether it originates in the rotator cuff or glenohumeral joint, or whether the pain is referred from another part of the body.Then, we design an individualized program that addresses each patient's symptoms. Improved ability to perform your daily activities (brushing hair, getting dressed, reaching overhead).
It is estimated that 80% of American adults will experience Neck Pain at some point in their lives. Although it is common, Neck Pain is often misunderstood and left untreated. Many resort to surgeries, strong medications, injections, hot packs, traction or Decompression therapy with little or no lasting relief.

I saw Helen Murphy when she was at Loyola for pelvic floor therapy, and she was sincerely amazing!!! She is extremely empathetic, patient and knowledgeable. The guidence she gave made a real impact on my pain level, but more importantly HUGELY boosted my confidence and self esteem. There was a noticeable increase in my quality of life. I'm honestly not sure that there's anything I could even suggest she could do better - she is an exceptional PT and a pretty cool person to boot! I absolutely recommend her for anyone who might benefit from pelvic floor therapy, whether you feel totally comfortable

I went here for physical therapy for a few months last year. My physical therapist Helen was an excellent medical professional and not only was very effective at helping relieve my pain but was very friendly and good to talk to. She was much more helpful than any doctor I have seen, not only in treatment but also in giving advice to help me with the issues I was having. Unfortunately this clinic does not take my insurance so I had to stop going but I would highly recommend Helen and Be Fit to anyone who is looking into physical therapy.

I have diastasis recti-about a 2 finger gap after 2 babies. The women health specialist has been so helpful with her treatment and exercises and has made a huge improvement to my condition in a matter of weeks. I’d highly recommend her!

By far the best experience I have had with physical therapy. Following knee surgery I went here on a friend's recommendation. It was outstanding. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional and truly care about patients. I have been to other local places and they did not provide the continuity of care that Be Fit provided. I recommend Be Fit completely.

I've been to many of the national chains (ex. ATI) and I was always frustrated at the cookie cutter care. The team at Be Fit listens and responds with intense personalization and listening. This individualization, I feel, got me back in full health much quicker than I ever expected. I have so much confidence in the work there I even bring my kids when they need help. I trust in them that much.

Oh my gosh, the staff at Be Fit Physical Therapy and Pilates were amazing! I had a horrible accident where I broke my ankle in 2 places and dislocated my kneecap. After surgery on my ankle where I had 5 screws and a plate, I started my physical therapy. Larissa and Natalie were so knowledgeable . I enjoyed going to therapy and saw a difference (was stronger) everytime I left Befit. I am a very active person and I couldn't wait to start walking again. I am now back to being active and am so thankful I chose Befit for my Physical Therapy treatment.

I have had the opportunity to witness the transformations Mary Lou offers her clients. Whether recovering from an automobile accident or nutritional guidance. Be Fit guides you to reach your goals, at your pace. I appreciate the one on one attention that you do not receive at other facilities. I am happy to continue to refer the Be Fit team!
