West Town Physical Therapy

Sarah is awesome! I started seeing her in the beginning of February after my spondylolythesis started troubling me again. I have been to several PTs before who were unable to help with my lower back pain, so I didn’t have much confidence going in. When I started seeing Sarah I could barely move without an intense amount of pain in my low back and wrapping around my hip. We started off slowly with stretching and muscle stim because she was concerned about flaring up the injury. She shared that her goal was for me to strengthen the areas that supported my low back, so we continued treatment with core strengthening exercises, stretches, and muscle stim. After a couple months I started noticing an improvement in my mobility, strength, and flexibility. My Pilates instructor even commented that she saw a remarkable difference in my strength since starting PT. As I continued getting stronger Sarah challenged me to take on harder exercises. I am happy to report that I am feeling stronger than ever before thanks to my time at West Town Physical Therapy. So good, in fact, that my insurance company cut me off from any further treatment due to the vast improvement. If you are looking for a warm, friendly, trustworthy, dependable, and professional PT, Sarah is your girl! Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting me strong in time for my wedding.

I started working with Sarah about six months ago when an old knee injury flared up and made it difficult for me to be active. I immediately knew Sarah was going to be a good fit for me because she was so friendly, professional, and knowledgable! We talked through the movements that reduced or aggravated my pain and she tested the strength of my joints to see where I was particularly weak. Based on these sessions, Sarah created a personalized but diverse fitness plan for me that ended up dramatically reducing my pain and strengthening the muscles that would help prevent future injury. We recently completed our last session and I was genuinely sad to be ending my time working out with her! I’d highly recommend her to anyone who even thinks that PT might help them — she will!

I recently finished four months of PT with Sarah after a bike accident required a shoulder surgery and the experience was fantastic. I was told by my surgeon that I wouldn’t be riding my bike or skiing by the end of the year and after Sarah’s work, I was able to get start riding again much sooner.
She’s professional, incredibly knowledgable and makes you feel a combination of pride for the work you’re doing while being pushed to do more. She gives you a good deal of personal attention and you really feel like she’s helping you work through your recovery, and not just another client in her book.
I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for physical therapy in Chicago, and would rate her and her studio higher than 5 stars if that were possible.

I was referred to Sarah after a sports injury and to address some chronic back pain. She helped me work through a sports injury and establish a routine to avoid future pains. I actually looked forward to my sessions!

Sarah is the best! I highly recommend her. I suffered from chronic lower back pain and she knew exactly how to help me. She started me off light to which I felt immediate results. She then tweaked my workouts regularly which not only kept it interesting, but also kept challenging me in new ways. She also did a great job explaining what was going on in my body, and what each move was doing to solve my issues. Anyone looking for a real professional who really cares for her patients, look no further.

I was having some pretty significant low back pain and Sarah was a great PT resource. She is experienced, knowledgeable and very friendly. In addition to exercises and therapy, she was great about counseling how to stave-​off future flare-​ups. Very flexible scheduling, too!
I was going to be out of the city for a while and she created a personalized exercise program I could use while while I was away and even checked in via email to see how I was doing– she definitely cares about her patients.
Highly recommended.

I was searching for a physical therapist close to home after suffering from shattering both of my heel bones. I didn’t realize how horrible my other physical therapist was until I came here and saw Steph & Sarah they are great and have helped my healing process with dramatic improvement in just a few weeks. It’s only been 3 months since my accident and everyone is shocked at my progress. I am so greatful I found this place and can never be thankful enough for them helping me get my legs back. I highly suggest coming here for any physical therapy needs!

I am not a big fan of Unilocal… That said, Sarah is absolutely worth creating an account to write a 5-​star review. She’s that good. I’d give her more «stars» if I could.
I had chronic low back pain and sciatica. Now, I have a stronger core even my Pilates instructor commented on (yes, working with Sarah elevated my Pilates game). Next, Sarah and I are working on an old neck injury.
Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable, dedicated and caring. She listens. She creates personalized sessions and also personalized exercises for the days you don’t see her. It’s not about numbers with her. It’s about getting you better.
To top it off, she’s also a phenomenal person.
