RESPORT’s sports physical therapy in Chicago gets you out of pain and back to the activities you love — without settling for downtime. Our physical therapists in Old Town build active rehab plans that restore movement, rebuild strength, and keep injuries from coming back.
Active rehabilitation means you do the work, with expert coaching. Instead of only having treatments done to you, our physical therapists guide and cue you through targeted movements that retrain muscles and restore healthy joint motion.
Patients come to us from Old Town, Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, and across Chicago. Whether you’re chasing a comeback or a new personal best, we’re here to help you move stronger, faster, and more efficiently.

Your physical therapist tailors every exercise to your body and goals. The focus is on three things: strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Each technique below is chosen to get you a specific result. Some are hands-on treatments from your therapist; others are exercises you’ll do yourself.

What to wear: Workout clothes that let us reach the treatment area easily. Wear sneakers if your plan includes high-impact movement.
You get honest, effective care with results you can feel. Our physical therapists and chiropractors work side by side, so your plan draws on both from day one.
That integrated physical therapy and chiropractic model is rare in Chicago. It means fewer handoffs, one shared plan, and a team focused on helping you perform at your best, pain-free.
Our clinic is at 1221 N. LaSalle Dr. in Old Town, a short trip from Lincoln Park, River North, and the Gold Coast. Early-morning and evening appointments fit around work and training.
The right rehab after a sprain or strain gets you back faster and lowers your risk of re-injury. Rest helps at first, but physical therapy completes the recovery.
Your physical therapist assesses your injury and combines hands-on care, stretching, and stability work. The final phase reintroduces the movements your sport or daily life demands.
Recover from surgery with less pain and more confidence. Our team designs a progressive program around your surgery site to rebuild strength, flexibility, and stability.
Hands-on therapy and exercise restore movement, while balance work helps prevent falls. Step by step, you return to the activities you love.
You can achieve premium results efficiently by integrating these safe, natural, and noninvasive wellness approaches.
