Unbroken Rehab and Athletics - Park Ridge

"Injured my back doing BJJ and worked with Will Gates, DPT. Will is also a BJJ practitioner, so the thought of working with him was very appealing from the start -- and he did not disappoint. His therapy plan was targeted, efficient, and effective. His understanding of the body and movement is excellent, and he pushed me in ways I didn't know were possible. I worked with him for four weeks and made a successful return, feeling stronger than before. Very happy with how my recovery went and feel great about the knowledge and exercises I've learned from Will. This was top-notch experience and I highly recommend working with Will for any of your PT needs."

"I would highly recommend working with Unbroken Rehab and Athletics. After pushing through workout after workout with persistent shoulder pain, I finally decided it was time to address the issue instead of working around it and I'm so glad I did. I worked with Fred, who was professional, knowledgeable and truly an active listener. As a CrossFitter, it was important to me to find someone who understood the demands of my training and could help me safely rebuild strength without pulling me away from movements I love. Fred not only understood CrossFit, but he thoughtfully incorporated CrossFit- specific movements into my rehab program which made the process relevant and motivating. Thanks to Unbroken, I was able to get back on track with my workouts and achieve a full recovery. If you're dealing with an injury and want a team that understands your goals and meets you where you are, I can't recommend them enough!"

"After dealing with shoulder pain for months, I finally made a call to Unbroken Rehab. I was connected with Fred and went to see him based on strong recommendations--and I'm so glad I did. Not only did he help me become completely pain-free, but he also took the time to educate me on why I was getting hurt and how to correct my movements to prevent it from happening again. As someone who does CrossFit, I really appreciated how knowledgeable he is about the sport and how he tailored my treatment to fit the demands of my workouts. Fred is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about helping his patients move and feel their best. Im so happy I finally made the call, Unbroken Rehab was the best decision for my road to recovery and getting me back to doing what I love."

"Whenever someone needs a recommendation for a physical therapist, I always recommend the Unbroken Team. Fred and his staff are so incredibly knowledgeable, and they treat each patient like an individual, not just a number. The road to recovery is difficult and the team is there with you every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about them, their work truly speaks for itself. It has been a pleasure to work with Will over the last four months. I will always be grateful for the work they did to help me become unbroken :)"

"I had a great experience working with the crew at Unbroken Rehab. Worked with Tim, Eva, and Jerick who were all very passionate about getting me back into my circus sport. I came in because of shoulder pain that prevented me from training. They did an in-depth evaluation and felt seen and heard when they listened. I appreciated the personalized plan that helped strengthen the muscles required for my activity. They were very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. Huge pro is the 1:1 time, which is difficult to find now a days. I've been to previous practices where I saw a new person each time so it was difficult receiving continuity of care and see results. At Unbroken Rehab I left with more awareness of my body and feel more confident returning back to my sport. If you're an athlete experiencing an injury or pain, definitely recommend checking them out!"

"I found Unbroken Rehab and Athletics during a search for local facilities that had complimentary reviews and offered physical therapy as well as alternative therapies such as dry needling. And because I also regularly worked out, I thought that this was the perfect fit. I filled out an online form and was immediately contacted by Fred, the owner of Unbroken. I told him that I was having ongoing neck and shoulder issues and needed some help. He responded immediately. We communicated a few times over email before I scheduled a consultation. Unbroken is located in what I feel is an ideal location --above a CrossFit gym -- with plenty of parking. The business is located on the second floor. In addition to the pristine office area where dry needling, stretching, and other therapies are done, Unbroken also has a clean and well-kept gym full of weights, circuit machines, stationery cycles, and whatever else is needed for proper rehabilitation. Storage shelves are also available for keys, coats, backpacks, etc. Although many times there was another physical therapist in the gym area working on their patient at the same time as me, I never felt crowded. My therapy began in March with dry needling followed by some mobility exercises and adjusted work outs in the gym. Although several therapists were available, I decided to go with Fred. Fred was always encouraging during my workouts and really paid close attention to what I was doing -- knowing when it was too much for me and when I could lift or do more. He was also an exceptionally good listener, answering any and all questions that I had for him. I ended up seeing Fred once a week for an hour until December and am happy to say that I feel 100% better! He not only helped me dramatically reduce the pain and regain the strength in my upper body, but he provided me with the tips and advice that I need to stay injury-free, including stretching and mobility exercises to use at home and/or at the gym. If you are looking for a team of personable physical therapists in a comfortable and welcoming environment, schedule a consultation at Unbroken! Fred and his staff will help you feel better, get back to working out, and provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to prevent future injuries."

"I cannot say enough great things about Fred and his team! Fred is knowledgeable, patient and a supportive physical therapist! My doctor was pushing for surgery but after working with Fred that option was out the window! The sessions were not only effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I noticed real improvements in my mobility and pain levels, and thankfully now I am back to work, feeling great again! I highly recommend working with Fred! A five star experience!"

"I came to Unbroken Rehab and Athletics after popping my gastrocnemius while training for Hyrox last year. I met the Unbroken team at our gym after they did an event talking about injury prevention. I called them the same day of my injury and they got me in right after seeing a doc hours later. They got me back to walking, then running within 3 months allowing me to compete just in time. Unbroken Rehab is the spot for all athletes, anyone who trains, competes or likes to move. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs support getting back to feeling good and back to what they love. Recently, they've been treating my arm that was injured during wall balls.I am deeply appreciative of their unwavering support and profound expertise in the realm of athletics. Thanks, Unbroken!"
