Body Gears Physical Therapy

We draw you in as an active piece of the recovery puzzle, answering your unsolved questions, using your condition as a springboard for creating new techniques, all the while, explaining your anatomy/diagnosis in language that make sense to you.
We collaborate with all of your health providers - from physicians to personal trainers to yoga instructors - to craft the best plan for moving forward.
Our team of physical therapists works as an integrated unit.
We routinely collaborate about your condition to determine how to speed progress, and are constantly "hands on" - engaging several therapists to perform two or more techniques simultaneously for greater effect.

At Body Gears Physical Therapy, we believe that freedom of movement is the foundation of a healthy and satisfying life.
With locations throughout Chicagoland, Body Gears Physical Therapy is dedicated to helping patients achieve pain-free optimum movement.
Our therapists work as an integrated team to help patients to heal, to stay healthy, to improve function and efficiency, or to prepare for a major life event such as a marathon or even childbirth.
Our Body Gears Downtown team looks forward to helping you reach and maintain your functional potential!

Body Gears physical therapists are highly trained professionals, experts at uncovering the root cause of your symptoms, meeting your physical challenge with a solution that allows your body to function at its full potential.
Our therapists are 'PT Geeks', taking five times more continuing education classes than required and thoroughly reviewing the research on countless interventions.
We collaborate as an integrated unit, discussing clients' conditions long after clinic hours and working together to perform multiple techniques simultaneously for greater effect.

Body Gears Physical Therapy is a unique physical therapy practice that puts the mentorship of physical therapists and patient care at the top of their business success stories.
We offer our physical therapists mentorship opportunities based on their level of clinical experience and path of continuing education.
Our mentors have several years of experience, provide an eclectic depth of knowledge and continue to work towards their own mastery of human movement and clinical reasoning.
We offer one-on-one physical therapist/mentor meetings and weekly in-services enhancing the physical therapist's educational experience.

Most people consider a "warm up" the preparation but a warm-up may only consist of a gradual increase in exercise intensity, stretching for muscle mobility, or a gradual increase in heart rate and adrenaline.
These are all great things but with our GiG program, we specifically target the individual's needs for strength, mobility, timing, and facilitation!
These four factors can vastly vary from person to person and Body Gears physical therapists tailor each program to the individual.
A warm-up is performed before exercise and includes tasks that are typically specific to the activity you are about to do.
