Love them. β€οΈβ€οΈPosted on Google John ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm about six weeks post major surgery for a condition called Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. It's basically nerve crush due to whip-lash, repetitive stress etc. I'm feeling very lucky that I have Dr. Maribel and Chesterton Physical Therapy helping me with my recovery. Mine is a long road back and their team has been helping me every step of the way. E-stim, laser, ultrasound, heat/ice, and dry-needling have all been used to help my muscles calm down and respond to treatment. The exercises they've implemented for me thus far are creative and perfectly matched to where I am in my recovery. The team is incredible - Alex, Adam, Neal, Jordan, Lucy, Sir John etc. - everyone is friendly, caring and genuinely wants to help you. Dr. Maribel oversees it all and designs customized treatment plans to get you where you need to go. She runs a tight ship and has hired a great staff. I have many sessions more to go and look forward to each one. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Peggy ArnettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

All of the staff is very welcoming, they are like a big family and care for both the staff and patients. I see Dr. Maribel, she really tries to pinpoint what you need help with by asking many questions, which if youβre very anxious like me and donβt know how to talk to people helps tremendously.Posted on Google Jackie GonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Are you finding it difficult to enjoy activities you once loved because of persistent pain? Whether it’s a nagging backache or aching legs, ignoring these issues won’t make them disappear.
That’s where physical therapy comes in. We all strive for a healthy, active lifestyle, and Chesterton Physical Therapy is here to help you reduce pain and enhance your overall well-being. Remember, an active lifestyle relies on your ability to move freely. If pain is limiting your mobility, itβs time to take action. Ready to improve your health or manage a chronic condition?

Physical therapy typically involves three key stages, pain relief, strengthening, and functional integration. Some may fear that physical therapy will cause discomfort, but that’s a misconception.
Our goal is to alleviate pain. At our Dunes Plaza, Willowcreek Rd, and Sand Creek locations, our professional physical therapists will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the process.
With a focus on improving strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility, your therapist will guide you through various exercisesβsome of which you can easily perform at home. The ultimate aim is to help you live an active, pain-free life. Your therapist is committed to your success and will support you in achieving your health goals. Curious to learn more?

During your initial evaluation, expect to perform basic movements like sitting, standing, walking, lifting, and stretching. This assessment allows our physical therapist to understand your unique needs and develop a customized treatment plan aimed at relieving your pain and meeting your objectives.
Since everyone has different needs based on their physical condition and pain levels, thereβs no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.
Our therapist will work closely with you to evaluate your mobility, balance, range of motion, and pain intensity, tailoring your plan to address your specific health concerns.
Regardless of your situation, the goal of physical therapy is to alleviate pain and help you regain optimal physical health. Whether you’re dealing with lingering pain from an injury, recovering from surgery, or simply experiencing joint discomfort, our physical therapists are dedicated to getting you back on track.
As movement specialists, they are trained to analyze mobility issues related to walking, running, jumping, and more. Through a combination of in-office sessions and at-home exercises, you can strengthen your muscles and joints, enhance your balance, boost endurance, and find reliefβall without the risks associated with medications or surgery.

The truth is, it’s somewhere between yes and no. While physical therapy requires effort and dedication, achieving a pain-free, active lifestyle is absolutely possible. For those with chronic pain or mobility restrictions, getting into an exercise routine can be challenging.

Although it takes commitment, establishing a routine makes it easier over time.
