We recently came across a conversation in the community that meant a lot to us.

Someone in Skokie asked their neighbors if anyone had a good experience with a physical therapist for lower back pain.

Seeing our clinic mentioned by someone in the Evanston community was deeply meaningful.

Skillz Physical Therapy has always been built around one simple belief:

Help people move with confidence again so they can return to the activities that make life feel like theirs.

Many of the women who visit our clinic are leaders in their fields — professors, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, and caregivers.

They spend their lives helping others.

But even strong people deserve help when pain begins to interfere with the way they want to live.

Whether it's back pain, neck tension, or TMJ discomfort, our goal is always the same:

Help our patients move with freedom again.

To our neighbors who trust us enough to recommend us — thank you!

Your support means everything.

Have you ever received a recommendation from a neighbor that turned out to be incredibly helpful?

Spent the afternoon with the future of healthcare in Evanston.

Today I spent the afternoon at Evanston Township High School speaking with students in the CNA program about patient mobility and assistive devices.

We practiced how to safely use crutches, walkers, and other mobility tools, and talked about how communication between healthcare professionals is essential in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities.

I took the afternoon away from the clinic because supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals matters. These students will soon be caring for patients in our hospitals and long-term care facilities, and the skills they are learning now will make a real difference in people’s lives.

It was inspiring to see their curiosity and dedication to helping others.

Grateful to be part of a community that invests in future caregivers.

Morning back pain is very common.

Try 10 press-ups before getting out of bed to help reduce stiffness.

Save this so you remember to try it tomorrow morning.

Why do completely healthy, high-achieving women in Evanston develop back, neck, and jaw pain...even when there’s no injury?”

Many of the women who walk through our doors are strong, accomplished, and organized.
They teach, research, run teams, care for patients, and manage families, all while appearing composed and capable.

Yet, accumulated physical load can show up in pain and stiffness.

Our Thorough Evaluation and Custom-fit Treatment Plan is designed to support the women who carry so much.

What our Evanston neighbors are saying about their experience at Skillz Physical Therapy…

Many of the women who come to our clinic tell us the same story:

They spent years trying different treatments without real relief. Then something finally changes once we identify the actual root cause of the problem.

Staying active after 60 shouldn’t mean pushing through knee or hip pain.

In fact, some of the best activities for women in their 60s are low-impact — and far better for joint health and long-term mobility.

Strong women often carry more than people realize.

Some lead teams.
Some manage families.
Most do both at the same time.

Today we’re recognizing the women who keep everything moving…at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Many of the patients we see at Skillz Physical Therapy are women balancing careers, motherhood, community, and their own health, often putting themselves last.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that strength isn’t just about pushing through.

It’s also about knowing when to care for yourself so you can keep showing up for the people who depend on you.

To the women of Evanston and the North Shore….we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re honored when you trust us with your care.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Most neck pain doesn’t start suddenly. It builds slowly from years of daily habits.

One of our patients had been dealing with neck pain and recurring migraines for years while balancing work and family.

Like many people, she kept pushing through it.

When she came to Skillz Physical Therapy, we focused on understanding the cause rather than just managing symptoms.

Within six weeks, her headaches were under control and daily life felt manageable again.

"I genuinely feel like my life has changed for the better."

The moment your kids walk in from school… they’re watching more than you think.

When you brace your back.
When you avoid the floor.
When you joke, “I’m getting old.”

They notice.

This new article explores how movement confidence—or movement avoidance—quietly becomes your child’s blueprint.

Strength isn’t about aesthetics.

It’s about capability.

Some treasures in Evanston aren’t hidden.

They’re simply people who care deeply about what they do.

For many in our North Shore community
staying independent,
walking comfortably,
climbing stairs,
getting back to daily routines,
matters more than anything else.

One of our patients recently shared how working with our team helped improve strength and mobility in their shoulder and knee.

Through steady guidance, hands-on care, and simple, thoughtful exercises, they began walking more naturally and moving through daily life with less discomfort.

That’s what we focus on.
Clear plans, personal attention, and steady progress.

At Skillz, we’ve built a space where people of all ages, including many seniors from Evanston and the surrounding North Shore, feel supported and understood.

Relief doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. And staying active shouldn’t feel uncertain.

If you’re looking for thoughtful care close to home, we’re here.

There is a shift that happens after 60.

You don’t stop moving.
You start calculating movement.

You brace before lifting.
You hesitate before stairs.
You wonder if strength training is “still for you.”

Here is the truth most women are never told:

Muscle after 60 is not about lifting heavier.
It is about protecting your independence.

Loss of strength is one of the biggest contributors to:
• Knee instability
• Lower back pain
• Shoulder tightness
• Loss of balance

And it is one of the most reversible risk factors when addressed correctly.

Inside our latest article, we explain:

✔️ What actually happens to muscle after 60
✔️ Why strength protects joints and bone density
✔️ How structured lower back pain treatments and knee pain physical therapy treatment programs reduce strain
✔️ What safe, guided strength training really looks like

This is evidence-based medicine.

If you or someone you love is navigating movement changes after 60, read this carefully.

Strength is not about age.
It is about preserving the life you want to keep living.
