React Physical Therapy - Lincoln Park

"Marisa is FANTASTIC! For a year, I've been struggling with my health. Ive always been an athlete- but suddenly, I was in anterior pelvic tilt hell- struggling with rib flare, weak core muscles and glutes not firing. I had been to numerous doctors seeking guidance on my declining health - severe nerve pain in my back brought me to React. Marisa did an initial assessment and discovered I had muscle guarding in my back. As soon as I started releasing those muscles, my core and glutes started kicking in-- but it didn't end there. Marisa pieced together the puzzle and discovered my postural habits with pectus excavatum chest was the root cause of everything I was experiencing. This discovery blew the door wide open for me- years of nerve issues, breathing issues, core issues, rib flare, pelvic floor issues- all made sense. It's incredibly hard to start over with unlearning habits and rebuilding your body - no one wants to start from the beginning- but here I am - and I am so thankful for Marisa on this journey as a strong sunken chest warrior! Marisa really knows her stuff and has helped me accept this body I'm in. So if you feel broken- go see Marisa at React. She's a gem!"

"After dealing with degenerative disc disease for years, I was planning to have back surgery. Before that could be scheduled, my doctor required me to see a physical therapist before I could schedule the operation. I walked into React Physical Therapy thinking it would be a waste of time. I left an hour later feeling a massive relief of pain and discomfort, and never ended up having that surgery. 13 years later, I'm still surgery-free as I continue to visit React every month to keep my body in line. The staff at React is friendly and very good at what they do."

"The owner could not be more knowledgeable and passionate about helping people feel the best physically and it's a wonderful environment to be in when you're there for your session. All of the staff are incredibly knowledgeable. The front desk and admin people are so kind and helpful and provide great customer service And overall this is a no-brainer if you're looking for a physical therapist."

"I'm starting my 4th week working with Franco (3x/week) after a total hip replacement (first 2 weeks were done at home), and I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and support. His guidance, patience, and encouragement have made a huge difference in my recovery. He tailors each session to my needs, helping me regain strength, mobility, and confidence. Thanks to his care, I'm making great progress! I highly recommend Franco @ React PT Lincoln Park to anyone in need of physical therapy. And for bonus points, he's just a super nice guy!"

"Thank you so much. I feel so much better!! My shoulder blade got healed after a couple of sessions. It feels lighter and the exercises you gave me are helpful for my daily routine. Andrey helped me become aware of the cause in my muscle pain in my shoulder blades, so now I know what to do now to prevent it. Overall the workers are super friendly and helpful. I'm grateful to have worked with them."

"I've been struggling with chronic pain for nine months. Finding React feels like I'm definitely in the right place. Working with Andrey has been finding a cadence that my body can stop bracing and protecting around. His friendly personality mixed with his knowledge of rehabilitation feels just right. Chronic pain is a tough thing to overcome and I feel like my body is responding. I feel super optimistic about rerouting my pain pathways and getting back to the active life I want to live!! "

"I went to React with a lot of pain in my left knee. Andrey Simeonovski was my Physical Therapist and he was terrific. After working with Andrey I no longer have any knee pain which has allowed me to avoid surgery. I would highly recommend React Physical Therapy and Andrey"

"I wanted to send a huge shout out to Andrey and the entire team at REACT Lincoln Park for helping me overcome a severe adductor strain that left me unable to run let alone walk without pain. For 10 years I have been trying to get into the world's toughest long distance triathlon, The Norseman Xtreme in Norway that takes place every August. As luck would have it, I got into the race but sustained an adductor injury in May (less than 3 months out from the race). I was crushed mentally as I could barely walk at the time and wondered if I would make it to the start let alone finish the race. Not only did Andrey get me back on my feet, I ended up setting a personal best on the swim, bike & run. To top it off, I finished at the top of Mt Gaustatoppen and earned the coveted "Black T-Shirt!" Couldn't have done this without Andrey and Team REACT!!!!!!!!"
