RUSH Physical Therapy - Vernon Hills

My son is an aspiring athlete. He has an incredible love for playing tennis. But an unfortunate knee injury left him unable to practice the sport. He was in pain and, for most days, discouraged to do anything or to try to accomplish any of his daily tasks and responsibilities. His injuries really changed his life and his personality, and it was a difficult time for the whole family. A friend recommended Praxis Physical Therapy, and it was a blessing we never knew we needed. After a day of consultations and meetings with their Physical Therapists, they provided a plan of 6 months of recovery. The chance to be able to play tennis again encouraged my son to work through this. And as planned, the 6 months of therapy resulted to his first day back at tennis school. It was an incredible time and we are forever grateful for what Praxis Care did for us.

Praxis Physical Therapy helped me out a lot when I had problems with my hip. The injury made doing everyday tasks and obligations so difficult to accomplish. It also took twice as long to simply walk up stairs or walk around the house. I didn’t want to do physical therapy initially because it seemed too much and a little overwhelming to commit to. So when I discovered that Praxis Physical Therapy promotes speedy recoveries, I wanted this done as soon as possible. The entire therapy process was a lot harder than I expected but after every session, I felt an improvement in my mobility and strength and this kept me motivated to keep returning. In just a few weeks my life started to feel as it was before my injury. Thank you very much!

Training at Praxis Care has been one of the greatest experiences yet. Making it to the track and field team was a big step, and I feel very confident about the work they have done with me. It was not easy, but I can definitely say that it was worth it. When looking for a trainer, you definitely need to find someone who can push you to your limits. Strength and conditioning is definitely a huge role in all types of athletics, which is why it is important to train. Whether you are competing or you simply want to be in the best shape, I highly suggest Praxis Care. They know exactly what they are doing and they are true professionals.

1. I recently had the worst ACL knee injury from an unfortunate fall I had while hiking. It was a painful and difficult time for me. And all I really wanted was to get the recovery over and done with as fast as possible. That’s why I called on Praxis Care. They had specialized physical therapy focused on my exact injury. I had the right guidance from them. And they shortened my estimated recovery time by a month. The results are fantastic. After a few months of being guided by their physical therapists, then following their advice on how to handle my knee after our P.T. sessions, I was completely healed. And after a year, I no longer felt any strain or ache from my previous injury. They offer really wonderful services.

When I get to Praxis for my therapy, I am normally pretty tired. On the other hand, when I walk out of there I am always feeling refreshed and a lot better. I have had a few problems after my knee surgery, but I received excellent care. I really appreciate how friendly and accommodating their entire staff is. They always greet me with a smile and it changes my entire mood. Their staff is very well educated so they are not hesitant in answering all of my questions. They are communicative and they discuss every procedure that they are going to do. Despite it being so difficult, it is a great place to lift my spirits. I highly recommend them!

Our son is graduating from high-school and was given a chance to try-out for a football scholarship in a University. He wanted me to enroll him in the sports performance testing offered by Praxis Care after his friend recommended it. We went to the facility and saw how some of their programs were done, and we were really impressed. Their rates were very reasonable, so we enrolled our son. I knew that my investment was good. The training really paid off well because our son improved so much in his game. In the end, he was able to land a scholarship. And for that, we are really thankful to Praxis Care.

Our son is an aspiring basketball player. He has been playing for their high school team and is now part of their university’s varsity. We are really so proud of him, so for a simple birthday present, we had him have a sports performance testing at Praxis. He was really very happy with the present and had no other thing to say but how wonderful the program has been. He worked with Ryan who was really very professional throughout the entire course of the program. Our son has shown great improvements after the therapy, and he has never been as energetic and alive!

When I needed assistance for my mother who has been constantly complaining about the pain in her hips, I immediately called Praxis to see what they can do. Dr. Beth Papke assisted our case because she has an extensive experience in geriatrics. She pinpointed the root cause of the pain, and helped my mother realized the available treatment options. Dr. Beth is definitely one of the most sensitive and experienced doctors I’ve ever met. I am really grateful that I’ve chosen them to handle the case of my mother. She’s going through the program right now, and we are both happy with the ongoing results.

My daughter fell off a horse while playing polo and she injured her back, which lead to wearing a back brace. Her doctor referred us with a physical therapist from Praxis, so she has been coming in at least 3 times a week to strengthen her back and neck. It was a difficult experience for her, but she was able to get through it. The physical therapist was nothing but motivating and maintained a very positive attitude all throughout. My daughter learned her daily exercises, and the therapist was very communicative with us when it came to all the steps she wanted my daughter to undergo. Now my daughter goes back once a week and is doing a lot better.

If you are the competitive type of person who wants to realize his potential in the sports or activity you play or do, then you should try out the human performance evaluation of Praxis. Actually, I never really intended to try but a friend of mine gave me this gift certificate for a human performance evaluation, so I just went for it. I am a tennis player and I certainly want to excel in what I do, and this is just what the program offered me. After the evaluations and exercise programs, I feel stronger and faster, and I am now more open minded about things going around me in relation to the sport I play. I honestly tell you that it’s worth it.

I have been having back pains for months, which I have not really paid much attention to simply because it was somehow bearable and I did not see it as a major health problem. However, when I could no longer deal with the pain, I immediately consulted a doctor who diagnosed my of a degenerative disk disease, which is mainly due to normal aging process. I was then referred to Praxis for physical therapy. Two months after the program, I have never had any back pain. Also, they have given me specific instructions and ways to improve my lifestyle. I have never felt this great in years, and I know that I have to thank Praxis for that.

I have been working with the team at Praxis for more than two years now since my car accident last 2011. I had some major fractures on my lower extremities and after the operation, my physician referred me to them. I am really happy with the services they have been offering me. I have improved massively and can actually see and feel that the therapy is going somewhere; it also gives me hope. Their team are very professional and they definitely put their patients on top of their priority list. If you are in need of outstanding physical therapy, or even human performance evaluations for those engaged in sports, they are the team you can trust!
