I came to Amie when I had an aggravated neck nerve that was causing arm and hand pain. I've had physical therapy for past problems (knee), but this time when my neurosurgeon prescribed PT, I researched PTs in Evanston. I settled on Skillz PT because it's a small shop and you get very personalized work, unlike big PT organizations where you're just one patient in one shop. Also, the reviews were great. Aime did a thorough review of my arm and neck capabilities and then went over with me what her recommendations were and why and also how we'd know I was making progress. (Like how much could I twist my neck.) She taught me a regimen of stretches and strength exercises, and sure enough, my pain became milder and much less frequent, to the point where it's gone. It's been months since I completed PT and I've kept up the exercises and unless I skip a few days of work, I don't even get a twinge. Much prefer this to waking up in the middle of the night with pain. So I can only agree with the other positive reviews I've seen of Aime and her tech Rachelle. The shop is always very clean, I see people disinfecting machines and equipment as soon as someone finishes using it, and there are just little nice touches like free bottles of water, coffee and tea, and even chocolates and health cookies. Aime keeps her eyes on you as you work and corrects mistakes, which I much appreciate. To people skeptical about physical therapy or who've had past bad experiences, I"d recommend going in for an evaluation while keeping an open mind and seeing what your gut says and I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
I had a great experience at Skillz from the team working on a TMJ issue that I experienced. The attention to my issues, advice for adjustments at home and work, and supervision of my exercises was thorough and effective. I was able to feel better after only a few weeks of treatment with some preventative exercises to perform on my own to prevent future flare-ups. Definitely come to Skillz for a knowledgeable and caring experience for your PT needs.
I cannot recommend Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston enough. I came in with a left shoulder impingement that was also aggravating an old elbow injury, and after just a month of twice-weekly sessions, I’ve seen incredible improvement. My pain has decreased completely, my strength has increased, and I’ve regained full range of motion. I was nervous to return to physical therapy after some negative experiences in the past, but the team at Skillz completely changed my perspective. Aime, Kythera, and Richelle are amazing—they greet you by name and with a smile the moment you walk in, and they bring such a warm, empathetic, and knowledgeable approach to their care. I will actually miss my weekly sessions. Their commitment to the community is also worth highlighting—they participate in the Mayor’s Youth Summer Job Program by offering high school students an internship opportunity each summer, which speaks volumes about their values. If I ever need physical therapy again in the future, I won’t go anywhere else. I will also be recommending them each chance I get to anyone I can. Thank you, Skillz PT!
