News and Upcoming Events
Dynamic Physical Therapy Chicago-River North opened in September 2017 with one therapist and one rule: every patient gets a full hour, one-on-one, with the same physical therapist from evaluation through discharge. Nine years later there are five of us, two board-certified orthopedic clinical specialists with residency training among them, and that rule has not changed. It is harder to protect as a practice grows, not easier, and protecting it has been the work. If you have been passed between therapists before, you will notice the difference on your first visit.

Your shoulder blade is only as stable as the rib cage it sits on. In our latest post, we explain why the serratus anterior and your trunk have to work together, why ribs flaring or a low back arching during a plank or overhead reach can throw off shoulder mechanics, and which exercises, like bear planks, shoulder taps, and Pallof press with reach, train both at the same time. The goal isn't rigidity, it's control.
At Dynamic Physical Therapy Chicago, we look at how your shoulder blade, rib cage, and trunk work together, then build a one on one program to get you back to planks, lifting, and throwing without pain. Our Chicago physical therapists provide one on one care in River North, and direct access means you can start without a physician referral. Read the full post.
