Physical Therapy in Evanston

“We often think of treasure as something that is extremely valuable—and also hidden/difficult to find. But sometimes a treasure is right in front of us. And Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston (located at Main Street and Dodge Avenue) is a great example.

Founder and owner Aime Maranan, PT, CMTPT, brings her exceptional brand of personal warmth; highly skilled, versatile medicine; and sincere caring to benefit patients. In addition to a deep knowledge of the disciplines within her field, she is certified in a range of modalities and treatment tools, such as dry needling and laser therapy. She and her equally talented colleagues Richelle and Kaye will literally walk you through the exercises and physical movement to help you achieve better health, well-being, and considerably less discomfort. As their website notes, “your relief is our personal mission.”

The large spacious room at Skillz offers recumbent bikes and other cardio equipment, tables, weights, and stations for balance and flexibility. Their patients are all ages—from high school athletes to young professionals to Saturday afternoon basketball players to senior citizens—and seek help with various conditions, whether it is osteoarthritis or a shoulder injury or vertigo or recovery from a hip or knee replacement.

Through the excellent administrative support and customized instruction at Skillz, I have been able to gain strength and mobility in my left shoulder and knee. The gentle weight lifting, hands-on deep tissue massage, and other efforts have enabled me to walk more naturally, engage in daily activities more easily, and, generally, experience more comfort and less pain.

Skillz also stays in touch with a newsletter and offers suggestions on how to continue being active and well. Scheduling appointments is easy.

Try Skillz for yourself. Their medicine works.“

“Such an exceptional pt practice and only one I felt I’ve had significant outcomes. Christine and Emma - really all the practitioners I’ve seen are excellent and the treatment design is great w assessments, massage or needling and then very thorough exercise component w sometimes 6-8 different exercises to do in the gym and then at home. I won’t go anywhere else and my husband, kids and friends I’ve sent have all had same great treatments and most importantly outcomes“

“I had a very successful experience dealing with back pain at Doctors of Physical Therapy in Evanston. Taylor Rodriquez was my therapist. She used her very excellent listening and observational skills to understand my problem and then create a program to remedy it. Taylor was empathetic, focused and pleasant in all our appointments. The office is a fully functional, non-pretentious and welcoming environment.
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
I whole heartedly recommend Doctors of Physical Therapy in Evanston and in particular Taylor Rodriquez!“
