“I’ve already tried physical therapy. What would you do differently?”

That’s a fair question to ask us.

Before we recommend care, we want to hear what you tried and how you responded.

• What helped?
• What made no difference?
• What brought on your symptoms?
• What are you still having trouble doing?

Those details help guide the examination.

During your thorough 60-mins Evaluation, we examine whether the area that hurts is responsible or whether another area may be contributing. We then explain what the findings suggest and how they influence our recommendations.

You can ask why we’re recommending something. You can tell us when an explanation doesn’t make sense.

If you’re considering another attempt at care, call Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston and tell us what you’re hoping to understand.

Have you started choosing your walking route based on where you can turn back?

Maybe you skip the longer loop. Ask your friend to slow down. Or pass on the walk because you’re unsure how your leg or foot will feel.

Those changes are worth mentioning when you seek care.

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we want to understand:

• What interrupts your walk.
• What you’ve already tried.
• Whether the painful area itself is responsible or another area is contributing.

Our AIM Method Evaluation looks beyond the sore spot to help answer that last question. The findings guide where we direct treatment and what we reassess as care progresses.

If pain keeps changing your plans, call Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston to schedule your PinPoint Evaluation.

Already ran the half marathon? Getting ready for the Chicago Marathon? How many times have you stretched, massaged or foam-rolled that same spot this week?

You can point right to it. You’ve probably shown someone exactly where to press.

But what if you’re treating where the pain shows up, rather than where it starts?

A painful calf doesn’t automatically mean the calf is the source. The same question applies to that hamstring or foot you keep working on.

Our PinPoint Evaluation at Skillz Physical Therapy looks beyond the sore spot to understand whether another area is contributing to your pain. We examine how your symptoms respond to testing to help distinguish a local problem from pain coming from elsewhere.

That distinction can change where we direct treatment. It gives us a reason to choose an approach beyond “that’s where it hurts.”

We explain what we find, use those findings to guide care through our AIM Method, and reassess your response as treatment progresses.

You’ve put time into treating the spot. Have you had help figuring out the source?

Evanston’s 🍁 fall-cleanup reminders are out. Here’s a reminder from us before you head outside:
🍂 Choose a small section. Leave yourself the option to do more if you feel up to it.
🍂 Keep bags light enough to carry comfortably.
🍂 Take a break before “a little sore” becomes the reason you cancel your evening plans.
🍂 You don’t have to finish the whole yard in one afternoon.
When the yard is half finished and your back starts aching, it’s tempting to keep going. “Just one more pile. One more bag.”
A back-pain flare doesn’t automatically mean you’ve injured something. But pain that repeatedly interrupts your yard work, walks or sleep deserves attention.
If this sounds familiar, we’re here to help you figure out your next step. Give us a call to schedule a PinPoint Evaluation

Have you started choosing outings by where you can hold on?

Balance involves several systems, including the inner ear, but muscle strength, posture, and spinal mobility also play important roles.

This Falls Prevention Awareness Week, Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston can assess these muscular and spinal contributors to your balance and help you work toward steadier everyday movement.

Contact us to schedule an evaluation.

Did you know your knee pain might not actually be coming from your knee?

Knee pain is not always the root problem. Sometimes, it is the symptom of something happening elsewhere.

At Skillz Physical Therapy, our knowledgeable clinicians use the AIM Method during your PinPoint Evaluation to clarify what is driving your pain before treatment begins.

That clarity helps us build a treatment plan with purpose and, when appropriate, may help you avoid surgery you may not need.

If you have been dealing with ongoing knee pain, schedule your PinPoint Evaluation today.
