Almost my entire family goes to Flex Forward Physical Therapy, and we can’t recommend Dr. Jake Giese enough! My husband and I both have had ongoing shoulder and hip issues, and after just a few sessions we both felt a huge difference and finally got some real relief. Our son is a 3-sport athlete and was dealing with pain and various imbalances before starting PT - Dr. Jake has helped him get back to feeling strong, balanced, and pain-free.What we love most is how knowledgeable and attentive he is. Each session is personalized, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about helping people feel their best. We are so grateful we found Dr. Jake and Flex Forward!

Have scoliosis and constantly feel neck or shoulder tension? 🤕
That’s not random — when your spine curves, your neck posture compensates, forcing the smaller stabilizing muscles to overwork and tighten up.

👉 Here’s the fix: focus on alignment and control, not just stretching. Start with gentle chin tucks, wall posture drills, and controlled breathing to re-train how your spine stacks up.

At Flex Forward Physical Therapy in Grayslake, IL, we help people with scoliosis move better, relieve tension, and prevent pain from coming back — without endless stretching or pain meds.

💬 DM us and we’ll send you our Neck & Posture Reset Routine designed by Doctors of Physical Therapy.

Stretching your shoulder every day but it’s still tight? 😩
Here’s the thing — tightness isn’t always the problem. When the rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles aren’t firing properly, your body compensates… and no amount of stretching will fix that.

💪 Try this instead: focus on activation, not just flexibility.
Start with controlled strengthening and scapular stability drills — that’s where real shoulder relief begins.

📍At Flex Forward Physical Therapy in Grayslake, IL, we help active adults fix the root cause of shoulder pain so they can move pain-free again.

💬 DM us and we’ll send you our Shoulder Reset Routine — built by Doctors of Physical Therapy who understand what your body really needs.

Still stretching your neck pain away every day… and it keeps coming back? 😩
Here’s the truth — tightness isn’t always the cause. Persistent neck pain is often a stability problem, not just a flexibility one. When the deep stabilizer muscles aren’t doing their job, the bigger ones overwork and the ache never goes away.

🎯 Try this instead: focus on gentle neck retraction and postural control rather than endless stretches. It’s about retraining, not just relaxing.

💬 Want a step-by-step guide to finally fix chronic neck tension?

DM us and we’ll send you our Neck Reset Routine — designed by Flex Forward Physical Therapy right here in Grayslake, Illinois.

Shoulder sounding like a bag of Rice Krispies every time you move? 🥣👂
That snap-crackle-pop isn’t something to ignore — it’s usually a sign your shoulder blade isn’t doing its job or that tight tissue’s getting caught in the motion.

Here’s a simple fix you can try:
✅ Scapular Wall Slide – Back flat to the wall, arms in a goal-post shape, slide up slowly keeping elbows & wrists against the wall. Feel that burn? That’s stability coming back.

Stop letting your shoulder talk back every time you lift your arm.
👉 DM me “SNAPCRACKLE” and I’ll send you the full No More Clicking warm-up routine.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Jake. He has been an incredible help with my back, neck, and shoulder pain. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my concerns and created a plan that not only relieved my pain but also improved my overall movement and function.What makes him stand out is his focus on teaching me better form and body mechanics. Instead of just treating the symptoms, he showed me how to move in ways that prevent future issues and help me stay active in my daily life. His knowledge, patience, and encouragement have made such a positive impact, and I feel stronger and more confident because of his care.I highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and supportive physical therapist who truly cares about his patients’ long-term health and well-being!
