“No one can really tell me what’s wrong.”

You’ve probably heard some version of:

“It’s just a muscle strain.”
“It looks normal.”
“It’s probably just part of getting older.”

And maybe some of it made sense… at the time.

But then:

– it still shows up when you stand too long
– certain movements still don’t feel right
– it improves… then comes back

So now you’re left trying to manage something
that was never clearly explained.

Because none of those answers fully connect to what you’re actually feeling.

Most evaluations focus on the area that hurts.

But pain doesn’t always start where you feel it.

So if that’s the only place that was looked at…

it’s possible something was missed—
and the real issue still wasn’t found.

If it hasn’t been clearly explained…
it usually hasn’t been fully understood.

Before starting another round of treatment…
find out what was never clearly identified.

To the women who carry more than most people see...this is for you.

Cheers to the ones who keep everything moving.

The working moms.
The planners.
The problem-solvers.
The ones everyone relies on, without needing to be asked.

You show up when you’re tired.
You handle things before they become problems.
You take care of everyone else...often without recognition.

Most people only see what gets done.

They don’t see what it takes to keep it all together.

So as we wrap up Women’s History Month...
this one’s for you.

The real heroes.
The ones who make everything work.

We see you.
And we appreciate you.

And if no one’s said it lately....What you do matters more than people realize!

We’re honored to be featured in the Evanston RoundTable

They recently shared a piece on Aime and the story behind Skillz Physical Therapy—how it started, what drives the work, and the approach we’ve built over time.

It’s a meaningful one for us.

Not because it talks about what we do…
but because it reflects why we do it.

Grateful to be part of the Evanston community and to care for the people in it.

A sincere thank you to Belinda Lichty Clarke for taking the time to share our story.

If your back, knee, or hip pain has been lingering…
continuing to push through it often makes it harder to fully resolve.

At Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston,
we see this pattern often in high-functioning women.

They stay active.
They handle their responsibilities.
They don’t stop because of discomfort.

So instead of addressing the problem directly,
they work around it.

Adjust movements.
Modify workouts.
Push through the day.

But when the underlying cause isn’t identified,
that pattern often leads to:

• Ongoing symptoms
• Repeated flare-ups
• Longer recovery timelines

At Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston,
we start with a full, detailed evaluation
to identify what’s actually driving the issue.

Because if it hasn’t been resolved—
it hasn’t been fully understood.

If something has been lingering,
the next step isn’t pushing through it.

It’s getting clarity first.

Have you found yourself working around something like this?

If your back pain gets worse when standing up or after sitting, this may help.

This is a gentle way to start moving your spine into extension without forcing it.

Try 10 reps and see if your symptoms improve or move toward the center.

If it doesn’t — your case may need a more specific assessment.

If your pain hasn’t been resolved…
it usually means the real cause hasn’t been identified.

Back, hip, knee, or shoulder pain
doesn’t always start where you feel it.

Treating the area of pain
without identifying the source
often leads to:

• Temporary relief
• Repeated visits
• Ongoing limitation

At Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston,
we start with a full, detailed evaluation
to identify what’s actually causing the problem.

Because if it hasn’t been resolved—
it hasn’t been fully understood.

If something hasn’t improved,

Most women over 60 make this mistake after an injury…

hey stop moving.

Or worse,
they try to jump right back into the same workouts…
and end up right back in pain.

Here’s what most don't realize:

👉 Your body didn’t “fail” you.
👉 It adapted… and now it needs a different approach.

We see this every day with women in their 60s and 70s who:

• Feel stiff getting out of bed
• Avoid workouts they used to love
• Worry they might make things worse

But once they understand how to safely rebuild strength and movement…
everything changes.

That’s exactly why we put this together 👇

We broke down:
✔️ How to return to exercise after injury
✔️ What to avoid (this is where most go wrong)
✔️ How to rebuild strength without re-injury

This is the same approach we use inside our clinic every day.

One of the things we love most about being part of the Evanston community is seeing neighbors support one another. 💙

Someone shared this recommendation in a local community group about Skillz Physical Therapy, and it meant a lot to our team.

She wrote that she came in with neck, arm, and shoulder pain, and after just a few weeks of working with Aime and the team, her pain was gone and she had exercises to stay strong and flexible at home.

Another neighbor commented that Aime has helped many friends and family members recover from injuries and find pain relief.
And someone else simply said: “She’s the best.”

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do.

To everyone in Evanston who trusts us with their recovery and recommends us to their neighbors...Thank You!!!

We are grateful to care for this community every day. 💝

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.
