We believe that recovery is stronger when it’s shared. Working alongside a peer allows patients to challenge each other, practice sport-specific skills in real-time and build confidence through friendly competition and teamwork. Here, two of our soccer superstars are working together to safely transition back to the demands of their sport.

We’re teaming up with CASA of McHenry County to help bring a little extra joy to local foster kids!

In our lobby, you’ll find our CASA Holiday Gift Drive board featuring the wish lists of 10 children right here in McHenry County. Each child shared three “wants” and three “needs,” and we’re inviting our patients, friends, and community members to help make their wishes come true.

Here’s how it works:
-Stop by our clinic and choose a child’s card from the board.
-Shop for one or more of their listed items.
-Wrap, label, and drop your gift in our collection box by December 5th.

These gifts remind every child that they are cared for, supported, and surrounded by a community that believes in them. Let’s make this season a little brighter!

Ever tried working out without shoes? It might sound strange, but barefoot workouts can completely change the way you move.

Here’s why:
1️⃣ Stronger feet – No shoes means your small foot muscles have to work harder, building strength and stability.
2️⃣ Better balance – Feeling the ground helps your body adjust faster and stay steady (especially as we age!).
3️⃣ More agility – Training barefoot improves your ability to react and move quickly (great for sports and avoiding stumbles).
4️⃣ Improved awareness – You become more in tune with how your body moves, helping prevent injury and boost performance.

Shoes can hide weaknesses. Barefoot training helps reveal (and fix) them. It’s not always easy at first, but the payoff is better movement, stronger joints, and a more connected body from the ground up.

What does “Return to Play” following a concussion mean? It is definitely more than running around a field!

Return to Play is a sport specific, gradual return to full sport following a concussion. It should be performed under the supervision of someone with solid knowledge about concussion recovery. Return to Play also should not start immediately after a concussion occurs (remember it takes at least 3+ weeks for the brain to heal, no matter the severity of the injury!).
