If back pain has been lingering, waiting is rarely neutral.

For adults, back pain often develops not from injury, but from how the spine is being loaded day after day.

When movement patterns quietly change, sitting, walking, getting out of bed, stress builds in places it shouldn't, and pain follows. At Skillz Physical Therapy, we thoroughly evaluate why your back is taking on excess strain and address the root cause before it limits daily movement.

Many Evanston patients tell us they waited because the pain felt manageable, unit it wasn't.

Pain doesn’t have to get louder before you take it seriously.

For many women over 45, discomfort doesn’t arrive suddenly. It builds quietly...a knee that doesn’t trust stairs, a shoulder that avoids reaching, a back that feels “off” more days than not.

Waiting often feels harmless. But clarity early is what protects independence later.

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we help Evanston and North Shore residents understand why something feels wrong, so it doesn’t slowly limit what you enjoy doing.

You don’t need to be in crisis to ask questions. You just need clarity.

If pain has been lingering, waiting is rarely neutral.

For many women over 45, knee, hip, shoulder, or back pain doesn’t suddenly appear. It slowly settles in.

When pain is managed on your own for too long, it often becomes harder to fully reverse, not because it’s severe, but because the root cause was never clearly identified.

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we focus on understanding why pain started, not just where it hurts, so it doesn’t quietly limit your independence over time.

If you live in Evanston and something doesn’t feel right anymore, getting clarity early matters.

Full Google Review:

"TLDR: Aime and her team are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled - I would recommend their PT services 10/10.

I've struggled with severe scoliosis-related back pain for most of my adult life, and I had been through multiple rounds of physical therapy elsewhere without finding significant relief.

My experience at Skillz Therapy was completely different. After just a few months, I can confidently say I owe Aime and her team for the substantial relief I now feel, and for teaching me the maintenance required to keep my pain minimal.

The team at Skillz is exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough. Their assessments went beyond treating my current pain; they focused on long-term prevention. I never felt rushed or dismissed; every concern was seriously addressed. I particularly appreciated the one-on-one attention during sessions, as my therapist was constantly watching my form and making personalized adjustments.

The clinic environment also contributed to my success. The space was always clean, neat, and the entire staff made me feel welcome immediately. The equipment is modern and well-maintained. Honestly, I was so comfortable that I often dozed off with the heating pack at the end of a session!

A huge thanks to the entire team for everything!"

Between the shopping, the hosting, and the travel, tension headaches are all too common this time of year. When we’re stressed, we tend to hike our shoulders toward our ears, causing the muscles at the base of the skull to tighten up.

Don't let a headache ruin your festivities! Try this 30-second neck release routine to melt that tension away!
