The clinic has flourished for over 30 years (it was started by my mother!) and I have always wanted to bring the magic of a family owned and operated private practice to the city. I am realizing my dream now with River North Physical Therapy. The 5000+ sqft loft space is an amazing setting for your journey out of pain and into good health. We specialize in Pilates-based rehab, which puts an emphasis on relearning how to move correctly and in a pain-free manner. We also have a large gym area that can accomodate any orthopedic rehabilitation. We know you have options when it comes to physical therapy, but we can assure you that the individualized, hands-on treatment you receive at River North Physical Therapy is the best there is.
