Thank you to Toby Sheasby over at Buffalo Grove South Athletico for fixing my leg injury. I had injured what I thought was my right glute/hamstring in April 2020 due to excessive sprinting and running without a proper ramp-up period.I've never been a 'runner', but after the gyms closed I went from jogging 2-3 miles a month to running 2-3 miles a day (15 a week or 60 a month for anyone counting), along with bouts of sprinting in between lifts. After four weeks of this I had a full blown hamstring/abductor injury. I thought with rest, stretching, and time that the "strain" would get better on its own and "worked around" it for the next 9 months. Unfortunately, it got worse slowly over time. I finally sought treatment when it started to impact daily life. At the end of January 2021, I remember intense pain upon waking, going up stairs, & sitting on the toilet . During my first PT evaluation with Toby, he assessed functionality of my right hamstring and abductor for daily life & movement was 36% and I was under a lot of pain and limited in what I could do in the gym. After 10 weeks of a targeted and prescribed treatment plan with Toby I can proudly say with a huge smile that I'm currently at 100% and all pain is gone. I didn't expect to recover so quickly and to be able to do exercises and movements that for the past 9 months were incredibly painful. I completed my prescribed exercises every day to rehab my injured muscles, and I never missed an appointment with Toby. At first, stopping compound lower-body movements for some time was difficult, but I believed in short term sacrifices for long term gains and trusted the protocol that Toby prescribed. I completed anywhere from 4-6 daily exercises plus 1-2 sessions a week which consisted of ASTYM, dry needling, trigger points and some manipulation (adjustments). All this combined to speed along my recovery. I'm very grateful to Toby and to the staff at Buffalo Grove South AthleticoCouple of fun facts - they treat the Joffrey Ballet & a few of their Physical Therapists are going with the USA Gymnastics team to the Olympics in Tokyo!Thank you Toby!

Just finished my last of 8 PT sessions with Caroline at this facility. This was my first PT experience ever, being treated for episodes of hip and upper leg pain, possibly due to excessive running. Caroline was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained all of the exercises she assigned (always making sure she was not causing pain, but ensuring the targeted area was being stretched and strengthened properly). I am virtually pain-free now, and have already started to gently resume my running regimen. The facility itself was less than 5 minutes from my house, with plenty of parking, and was always kept clean and organized, with a friendly receptionist to greet you. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience at this Athletico location. I came in after severe leg muscle weakness due to a broken ankle and knee contusion using a knee brace and cane. After about a month of therapy (3 times a week), I am cane and brace free with significantly better mobility. I credit Toby who was my Physical Therapist and also the facility manager. He really knows his stuff, a true pro with many years of experience and extensive education. Toby is friendly, firm, yet sensitive and never pushes you beyond your means. I highly recommend this facility and am eternally grateful for their help!
