Patient Testimonials

I received excellent care at Impact PT all the way from the receptionist who efficiently scheduled me, to my therapist who guided me with expert advice and attention. If I need PT again, Impact is my first choice.

I have been having therapy at Impact for the last couple of years. The staff there is very helpful and supportive. I’ve been working with Tammy for some back issues and she’s been great. I highly recommend Impact!

After suffering with excruciating plantar fasciitis for over two years, I honestly wasn't sure I'd ever get back to normal. Then I started working with Bob Staszak at Impact Therapy, and in just four weeks he completely changed the trajectory of my recovery. Bob is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping his patients heal. He took the time to understand what was causing my pain, explained every step of the treatment plan, and gave me practical exercises that actually worked. For the first time in years, I can walk without constant pain. If you've been struggling with plantar fasciitis or any stubborn injury, I can't recommend Bob highly enough. His expertise and care made all the difference. Thank you, Bob, for helping me get my life back!

The people and facilities are exceptional! The staff is caring, knowledgeable, and always makes you feel welcome. The facility is clean and comfortable, and the level of care is outstanding. I highly recommend them!

I was suffering from increasing pain in my right shoulder and left thumb, despite taking yoga and Pilates classes. Plus I regularly massage my hands with a soft MELT ball. After ruling out psoriatic arthritis (having been diagnosed with the guttate form from early childhood thru my 60's) my primary care physician suggested physical therapy. She highly recommended Impact PT & Sports Recovery. Janelle was my therapist. For the shoulder I demonstrated where the pain exists and my range of motion. Janelle was able to find the root cause being an issue with the infraspinatus muscle that caused the top of the bicep muscle to overcompensate, causing the pain. With massage, manipulation and exercises I found almost immediate relief. After 4 sessions, along with her prescribed exercises to do at home I am 99% better. I rarely feel pain in my shoulder. The thumb took a bit more work to resolve the pain. Janelle massaged the left shoulder, a portion of my left arm and finally manipulated the thumb by pulling on the thumb joints, to create more space for the synovial fluid surrounding them. We also went thru exercises to increase hand and wrist flexibility. After 4 sessions, along doing her prescribed exercises at home, in addition to continuing massaging my hand with a soft MELT ball, my thumb joint feels much better. When I feel pain (and it doesn't consistently occur), I gently pull on the thumb joints and it greatly helps. I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery.

I absolutely love Kanita!!! She has helped me tremendously with my neck, shoulder issues. I am still working with her on my issues. Every PT session I am 100% better. 💕

Having vertigo is an horrific event in life. I was always skeptical about going to physical therapy for help with vertigo . Kamila eased my worry and helped me through a terrible time gently. I would never hesitate again. Thank you Kamila!

Peggy is fantastic

My first experience with PT and it’s been remarkable!!! Courtney is professional and everything I’ve done has been remarkable!! Courtney is truly the best, I feel 100 oercent better after each session

I’ve been to Impact Physical Therapy at different times for different issues and have always had very good outcomes. Courtney is an awesome PT! Listens to you and teaches the proper exercises and is so knowledgeable. Everybody is friendly at this facility and also extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Impact Physical therapy!

Great staff. Helpful front desk. Compassionate therapists. Highly recommend.

I worked with Karin for 10 weeks on some strength, mobility, and running-related concerns. She taught me how to relax, work with my body, and gradually build the strength I needed to reach my goals. Ten weeks of regular appointments was a commitment, but I actually started looking forward to each session because I always felt challenged and supported and could see myself getting stronger. (Having Trader Joe’s and Starbucks nearby also made the drive a little more enjoyable!) As a busy parent, making time for my own health is always a challenge. Karin helped me find small, realistic changes I could incorporate into my life that have had a lasting impact. By my 10th session, I left feeling stronger and more confident in my body than I had in a long time. I also had a running gait analysis with Bill, which was tremendously useful. In just 30 minutes, I came away with four clear areas to work on to reduce my risk of injury and improve my running performance. I highly recommend the gait analysis at this location, especially for anyone training for a marathon! Lastly, what makes this place so special is that everyone, from the providers to the front desk staff, is caring, collaborative, and knowledgeable. It’s rare to find a place where you can come for different needs and consistently feel so well taken care of.

Braden has really helped me. I feel so much better

The therapists at Impact are outstanding—I can't recommend them highly enough. I've been there for two separate issues: lower back pain caused by bulging lumbar discs and Achilles tendonitis. Their hands-on manual therapy provided significant relief, and the combination of core-strengthening and stretching exercises was extremely effective. I'm now essentially pain-free and able to manage everything with regular exercise and stretching.

Mat is an excellent Doctor of physical therapy!! He has a very precise and outstanding knowledge base for his patients. He listens well and finds the appropriate modality to help him heal his patients. New updated review: Doctor Matt Wesolowski is an exceptional and outstanding Physical Therapist. When I first met him, I couldn’t even lift one pound of weight with my right arm. Now after only a couple of months of his manual therapy and his specially tailored made therapeutic exercises; have helped me to now lift weights up to 16 pounds. Matt is very patient with me and has slowly but steadily helped me to reduce my pain issues. I have had pain and reduced strength in my head, neck, and right arm for over 30 years. Now I’m so much better. Will be working on proprioceptive skills soon. I believe Impact Physical Therapy is a very professional and well staffed establishment. Kathleen Susan Nale

Drew is a professional, personable, and patient Physical Therapist. I'm making progress! Thanks!

Love the full hour of therapy compared to 30 minutes at Carle and Christie and the additional options they offer.

I respect the expertise of this physical therapy company and truly appreciate the wide range of therapies they are knowledgeable in. Their experience and dedication give me confidence that they can help address and improve my issues.

07/09/2026 Due to recurring plantar fasciitis sxs and now tingling down my left leg to foot, I returned to Impact-South Loop, working with PT Alex. During course of treatment, further testing ( MRI) identified low back problems. Alex broadened the scope of my PT to address this identified additional problem. In addition, I received a lot of education about new limitations with future exercising and about learning to accept those limitations- not something I wanted to hear! I completed PT in May, 2026. I’m appreciative and very satisfied with the care I received. I’m working on those limitations and figuring out new ways to workout. Also, a shout out to the front desk staff and the knowledgeable PT techs for all of your help. Thanks for your support.

My go-to place. They really know what they’re doing and understand running. All the therapists I have seen here are amazing

Superb physical therapists

roma is the best ! explains everything to me in english and not doctor speak so i understand it. listens to how i'm feeling and what's happening and knows exactly what to do to help. there's not a better physical therapist around !

I can’t recommend Impact Physical Therapy enough! Over the past six months, I worked with Dan to recover from back surgery. When I first started, I was dealing with significant strength loss in my left leg and persistent nerve pain, but Dan did a phenomenal job guiding me all the way back to 100%. He took the extra time, showed genuine care, and really connected with me throughout my recovery. The front office staff is top-notch as well, always friendly, welcoming, and easy to deal with. From day one, everyone at Impact made sure I felt supported and truly cared for. If you are looking for a physical therapy team that delivers incredible results and treats you right, this is the place to go. Thanks, Dan and team!

This is the fourth time I needed physical therapy in the past 10 years and I wish I found Impact the very first time. I highly recommend Impact. Leo and Monica are outstanding Therapists, also the rest of the staff are amazing.

very professional,

Impact Physical Therapy in Lakeview has a terrific staff that has helped me through two hip replacements, thoughtful and good listeners that has helped restore and build up my strength for the years ahead. Can't thank them enough for their good work!

The therapist is very careful in assessing the issues with wooziness and balance that I am having .. Highly recommend this establishment Early in treatment but I believe it’s helping already.

I’ve been to many PT locations for my back pain, and I’ve always gotten a cookie cutter approach – not at impact! Kyle took the time to really listen and look at the root cause of my back pain. He explained his findings eloquently and has laid out a great treatment plan. 10/10 recommend!
