We believe there is a need—and a desire—for patients to have a dedicated primary physical therapist who truly understands how their body functions. We founded THEORY Physical Therapy with that purpose in mind: to elevate the physical therapy experience for those who value personalized care.
As a local, independent, and therapist-owned practice, we take the time to get to know our patients deeply—understanding their strengths, weaknesses, imbalances, and medical history—so we can help them recover to their fullest potential.
Our founder, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over two decades of experience, has treated patients of all ages, from adolescents to active adults, across a wide range of conditions. We cultivate a patient-centered culture by addressing the root causes of concerns, aligning with your goals, and developing personalized treatment plans that include hands-on care. We collaborate directly with your primary or orthopedic physician to create a cohesive medical team, ensuring your optimal recovery.
If you're seeking a physical therapist committed to the highest quality of care and a relentless pursuit of clinical excellence, THEORY Physical Therapy is the right choice for you.
The first step to managing pain is understanding it.
At the forefront of our treatment is ensuring our patients understand the source of their pain and how our treatment plan enhances their lifestyle. Each patient is unique and deserves personalized care. We incorporate functional exercises and nutrition to help our patients learn how their body functions and provide them the tools to actively participate in achieving a pain-free life. This is because we believe that, in many cases, our bodies are resilient and capable of self-healing through proper conditioning.

In many states, including Illinois, patients have direct access to choose where and when to seek a physical therapy evaluation and treatment without a prescription from their physician.
For the longest time, physical therapy was thought of after an injury or surgery, but there is growing interest in physical therapy to help prevent injuries from occurring in the first place. Early intervention of physical therapy can eliminate the need for unnecessary medication, surgery or costly imaging tests.
As an independent private practice, our priority is our patients. We strive to provide the level of care you deserve and the independence you can trust. See a physical therapist first and choose one who is experienced in treating your underlying condition. And if you do need to see a specialist, our Doctor of Physical Therapy will refer you to the right healthcare provider.
