Meet The Team
At RecoverRx Physical Therapy, we help active people and athletes alike in the Chicagoland area Recover from painful limitations, Rebuild functional movement patterns, and Redefine their future performance, allowing for a return to the sports and activities they love.
Have you experienced PT where you get shuffled between therapists, see your therapist for just a few minutes then get handed off to an aide, or been told you need to come 3x/week when you know you could be doing more at home?
At RecoverRx, we make a personal connection with our patients and always provide consistent care with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy. Through hands-on therapy, education, and movement – our sessions are more effective allowing you to get to your optimal life in less visits!
