Going into it…read moreI felt like there was no way I'd fully recover, but with Eric's guidance & support I'm happy to say I'm back to full activity with no pain. At each appointment I received 1-on-1 attention with deep tissue work and guided strength training on their full array of gym equipment. Eric was able to answer any question I had leveraging his years of experience; a true professional through and through. Can't recommend him enough if you're needing to battle back from an injury!

Eric is very thorough in his approach to my care including explaining the diagnosis assessment, recovery plans and providing the best care to my injury. Eric is kind and attentive very smart and knowledgeable. I feel so much more at ease having Eric as my PT knowing that he's doing all that he can to help me recover from my injuries. I really like the app Eric uses that I can practice the therapy exercises from home, on my smart devices. It is a great aide in helping me Use proper form. I highly recommend Eric Mills and Flow. The location is convenient right off from the Brown line. The area appears to have good parking. Everybody at this facilityis kind and welcoming. The facility is always clean and neat. I am so glad I made the switch from Athletico to Flow; I am ecstatically pleased with the therapy, the therapist, and service at Flow.

John worked with me when I broke my ankle, tibia, and Fibula. During my physical therapy he was…read moreattentive and informative. I can get a bit emotional and he was supportive when I was going through the process. He encouraged me to try dry needles and it was a great decision. He answered every question I had and provided me very clear instructions on what to do when I was at home so that I could recover safely and quickly. It was amazing after 8 weeks of being unable to put my leg down seeing the improvement over the next several months. I have continued to work with John on personal training since I have been released from physical therapy. He has continued to include additional balance and ankle exercises so I can strengthen them as i strengthen the rest of my body. I never would have believed it 16 months ago after my fall but I'm back to squats and lunges and it feels great. I've referred friends to him because I trust him completely.

This review is specifically about Mikaela, one of their dietitians. I met with her twice, and it…read morewas a complete waste of my time. The TL;DR is that the information she provided was horribly misguided and showed her lack of knowledge in weight loss issues with someone who is in their 50s struggling to lose weight. She was also incredibly rude and condescending. During our first meeting, she spent a ridiculous amount of time reviewing a confusing chart that she had difficulty explaining when she could have bottom-lined it in a few minutes. That left only a short amount of time to discuss calorie/macro goals, so we had to schedule a second apt. since we only had time to discuss breakfast. She REALLY needs coaching on time management, to not be able to discuss essential items like a food plan in an initial meeting is unacceptable. During the second apt, she sent me the zoom link after our starting time -- which is extremely frustrating since there were technical issues. I usually sign in a few minutes early when I have a link to work through any issues. I wanted to get straight to the calorie/macro information. She wasn't at all prepared for the meeting and asked if I was the wrong height and weight and then said, "oh, that's someone else" After giving her the correct weight and answering other questions, she took several minutes to calculate a calorie goal -- I could have done this by Googling a similar chart. My goal with working with a dietitian is to have someone with enough knowledge to put context and details around this information. She gave me ridiculous numbers for maintenance and weight loss calories. I had an overall idea of how much I should be eating due to going to a weight loss spa and losing 35 lbs based on the plan they gave me. When I told her this, instead of asking insightful questions, she was completely condescending, TELLING me that the calorie range I stated could lead to muscle loss and that there are more important things than just the numbers on the scale. Well, for me, right now the number on the scale IS the most important thing, I'd like to get 20-30 libs off and then I can start thinking about incorporating a muscle building plan -- She was soooo disrespectful of my goals. She's a bit cocky for someone with only a year out of school under her I'm so disappointed since I've had a great experience with Dr. Dever a chiropractor and with Dr. Toth - an integrative dr.

Do lab work elsewhere- my blood sample was mishandled therefore the results of my test were false....and sent me to the ER. I started going to aligned in August 2023. They test and prescribe you supplements based on the results. I saw results due to the dietary changes (low fodmap) but my symptoms came right back once I resumed a normal healthy diet, which tells me the supplements I was sold didn't help. The diagnosis and explanations felt a bit rushed and the nutritionist was a waste of time. I didn't get any improvement or new knowledge from my 6 months as a patient here. I had my bloodwork done through aligned in January to check my progress. They called me in the middle of the night and told me to go to the ER based on the results. Turns out the sample was tainted and I incurred $2k in medical bills as a result, which Aligned refused to take responsibility for.

In today's world of healthcare, most providers are in a position where they are limited by…read moreinsurance regulations or corporate objectives when caring for their patients. It truly is a godsend, when one is able to find a healthcare provider that sees healing as an art and a science. Medical science gives provides the tools for healing. It is an art when those tools are adapted to meet the individual needs of any given patient. It takes time to implement the art of healthcare. Time to know the patient. Time to learn about the patient's fears, anxieties, thoughts and hopes. Elias is tremendously gifted when it comes to caring for his clients with the art and science of Rolfing. He has a vast knowledge of the workings of the human body and is able to use his skills to help his clients achieve a state of overall wellness. I highly recommend this gifted man to help you if you are in need of relief from chronic pain resulting from the daily stresses our bodies are subject to.

Then I had turf toe from 20 years of dancing and in a matter of 8 visits I can dance and walk without paying again.

My mobility was limited to less than 20% of what it was before (e.g., brushing hair, lifting my kids, reaching up in any direction). My symptoms mimicked a torn rotator cuff but without the pain. It was bizarre; even my PC doctor at Northwestern assumed it was a partially torn rotator cuff. It was my second appointment when Lauren asked me to perform a few additional tests because she felt something didn't add up. After the third test, she discovered that I had in fact a pinched nerve (C4/C5). Over the course of 6 weeks I continued therapy, followed her at home instructions, and made a full recovery. She is truly amazing. Thank you Dr. Schnidman!

I found Dr. Schnidman a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I've…read morehad chronic pain - herniated discs, sciatica, scoliosis, sports injuries - for the last decade, that got so bad that I had to stop exercising altogether. I've had different therapists offer targeted treatment for acute injuries, most of which allowed me to get back to my sports temporarily, but I've never been given the holistic treatment plan that Lauren prescribed. A few months ago, I was scared that I'd be in pain or discomfort forever; two months in, I'm sleeping more comfortably and I'm getting back into the movement I love. Lauren understands my pain and designs my treatment program specific to my needs and lifestyle instead of a cookie-cutter approach, and I recognize how rare that is in any medical field. All I can say is that I wish I'd started with her sooner.

Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it. I cannot say enough great things - you must go see her. You will not be disappointed and it will be so worth your time and money/insurance co-pay. Joni and Sally are also amazing!

This was a tough decision on how to update. Given that the entirety of my review focused on…read moreMeredith, I felt compelled to post an update since she has left. First off, I still give LSF PT five stars. Their location is great, I enjoy their awesome gym, and the people that work there are great. If you are busy, already a member at this gym, it's a great choice. And thanks to this place, I met Meredith. Meredith was the star who helped me get through some tough nagging injuries - so I felt compelled to state that she moved on from this location. She really went the extra mile and I mean, look at all the reviews she's garnered for this business, that's saying something. If you aren't necessarily set on being inside the gym and want someone with an awesome reputation, look her up. At the end of the day, either LSF or Meredith are great choices and FAR superior to the greedy corporate chain in the greater Chicago area, so I am happy to keep my five star review of LSF PT.
