Body Gears Physical Therapy - Oak Park's Online Review Report Card

I really enjoyed the support from the staff at Body Gears Physical Therapy. They are flexible with your schedule, they give you the best support you need, and they listen to you when you have any concerns about your health or scheduling. I highly recommend any and everybody to go to Body Gears Physical Therapy.

I was struggling to find the root cause of my injuries. Nick at Body Gears listened to my laundry list of issues and was able to come up with a diagnosis and subsequent plan that has me back on the tennis court and soccer field. He was excellent with his communication and was fun to work with. I would highly recommend Nick and Body Gears to others in need of PT.

I had a great experience with Nick at Body Gears Oak Park. He was consistent and thorough, and always came up with unique and tailored exercises for what I needed.

Great staff and clinic setting. I received excellent care from the staff and had a fun time in therapy.

I had recently had very sharp pain in my right knee due to soccer. I needed physical therapy and got treated here. The staff are all very friendly, and the office is extremely clean. I had a great experience here and thanks to the great doctors I recovered quickly with ease.

I emailed asking about availability for an appointment having to do with a sensitive subject. Kendall responded, making an assumption about my body that was incorrect and that forced me to disclose over unsecured email my gender identity and details about my body that I would typically only discuss over secured email or in person. When I wrote back and explained that what she'd done was humiliating, she responded by saying, verbatim, "I'm sorry if you were offended." What she should have been sorry for was forcing a sensitive health disclosure over a non-secure medium and engaging in the kind of behavior that disincentivizes so many marginalized people from seeking medical treatment. If BodyGears can't manage to train their employees on basic best practices for medical employers I really don't trust them to create a safe environment for the sensitive PT I need. I'm sure they're fine for more run of the mill PT treatments but I will obviously be avoiding them for my specific needs. UPDATE: Kendall wouldn't let it go and kept emailing me combatively, so in my final response to her I asked her not to contact me anymore. She apparently didn't pass this on, because someone from BodyGears just called me. She and they have absolutely wiffed this interaction and clearly do not understand the gravity of the complaint or the vulnerable position her choices put me in as someone seeking medical treatment. I had a panic attack because of this interaction and they will not leave me alone even when directly asked. I see the positive reviews, I understand that they must do good work, but if you're concerned about your patient privacy, if you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community, if the PT you're seeking makes you feel at all vulnerable, I would look elsewhere, because this company does not know how to handle these interactions.

Every interaction with the Body Gears Oak Park team was outstanding throughout months of PT sessions. Nick, Kendall and Chris were all great to work with. Nick combines a sense of humor with a collaborative approach to therapy that, dare I say, makes it enjoyable. Would highly recommend working with them!

I had a great experience at Body Gears. PT Nick was very knowledgeable and had a personalized approach to helping me heal a broken ankle. Easy to schedule times that were convenient for me.

I had heard Body Gears was amazing, but now I know for sure. We have been taking my son to see Dr. Nick for a couple of months and I can’t say enough about him or the practice in Oak Park. Top of the line care. If you need PT, look no further than Body Gears and Dr. Nick.

Best experience I’ve ever had with physical therapy. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything we were working on. He was patient and kind with all my questions and concerns, and his techniques have been incredibly helpful with my lower back issues. He was a pleasure to work with. Everyone that works there is professional and helpful. Highly recommend this place!
