“Sean is very knowledgeable and attentive. He is with you the entire visit and not distracted by screens or phone calls. We have very open communication so he is able to adjust my treatments accordingly.
The office is well designed so it’s easy for the therapists to work around each other. I felt like I had plenty of space to do my exercises.

Best physical therapy facility I’ve ever been to. Sean was great. Very professional. My primary care Dr recommended Elevate. I did need several months for my condition. I just finished up last week. Totally feeling myself again. Sean gave me a plan to follow at home. I plan to stay consistent with it too. All great things at Elevate in River Forest

Sean was a kind and empathetic listener. He evaluated me for my baseline and next week I begin the actual plan that we worked out together. I am excited about this and really feel that he will be a good fit for me!

This was an outstanding PT appointment. I have had some issues with my back and legs.
The entire process, from making my appointment to receiving a copy of the exercises that will help me, was excellent.
All my forms were made available to me online so were completed before I even walked in the door.
The office was easy to find and had parking available right out front.
My actual time with the doctor was the most important reason I highly recommend them. Sean was a great listener, understood my issues, and tested me based on our conversation. He then recommended exercises, showed me how to do them, and sent copies with illustrations and directions for how often and how many repetitions I need to do.
I am looking forward to resolving my current issues as well as having more tools in my health toolbox to keep myself strong and pain free.

For the first time in over a year I’ve been able to exercise without pain in my knees.
We got there through Sean’s expert and thoughtful approach.

Sean and I discussed my problems at our first appointment. He was friendly and professional. He explained the proposed treatments and the reasons for them. He suggested doing some of the treatments at home to help my progress. He was always informative, congenial, and helpful. I made very good progress. I can definitely recommend Sean to those in need of a physical therapist.
The office and exam rooms were clean, bright and attractive. The other staff members were also friendly and knowledgeable.

Due to running, I had been suffering with chronic pain in my calves for many years. I knew after my first appointment with Sean that Elevate Physical Therapy was the right fit for me. Sean designed the perfect treatment plan to address my mobility and pain issues. Sean is an exceptional physical therapist. He is knowledgeable, informative, and has endless patience. His greatest quality is his genuine concern for his patients’ well-being. Since my treatment I’ve had so much more movement and much less pain in my legs and calves. I’m getting better every day. I highly recommend Elevate Physical Therapy.

I had a wonderful experience with Sean during my initial consultation and therapy for my arthritic knees. He listened to my concerns and made a thorough assessment after taking measurements.
The results were a treatment plans that really worked! I went in limping and eventually walked out with no knee pain!
I came back a month ago for treatment of my rotator cuff. I highly recommend Sean at Elevate if you are seeking the best physical therapy treatment!

My therapist Sean is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. After each session, my progress has improved, allowing me to regain even more mobility than before my injury.
The whole team is friendly and professional . The facility is clean and organized, with a positive and calm atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend Sean, and the Elevate Staff for any Physical Therapy needs.

Elevate PT is a wonderful independently-owned practice with 3 fantastic DPTs (Doctors of Physical Therapy). Sessions are 60 minutes and the whole hour is devoted to you and not shared with any other patients which is typical these days at larger PT companies. Sean is one of the co-owners of the practice. I've been working with him for over a year addressing both recovery from major orthopedic surgery and the development of a rare and difficult nerve disorder. Sean is devoted to my improvement through disease-specific therapy protocols and consistent organized support to make sure my recovery continues to head in the right direction. The PTs here will stay with you until you are fully recovered and then will work with you to regain athletic ability if that is one of your goals! Many members of my family go here now and everyone is happy and impressed with the quality of personalized care.

I’ve been seeing Sean off & on over the past 4 years for various injuries. With each injury I initially went to my GP, then Orthopedic and finally landed with Sean. My initial impression of Sean was, wow! this man is smart and is interested in what you have to say. He’s an excellent listener of both spoken words and nonverbal cues while you are engaging in therapy. He notices the subtle things like maybe a wince or a strain. He’s 100% attentive and hands on, he thoroughly explains each exercise and guides you step by step. With my latest injury I have also been seeing Rachel for her expertise with dry needling. Rachel is personable, caring, and is very adept at her skill. I have found it to be extremely helpful in addition to my regular PT. I would highly recommend Elevate and any of their 3 physicians with the utmost confidence. What you get at Elevate is unlike any other run of the mill PT chain. Completely one on one, easy scheduling, and the very best of care.

Dr Sean, understands athletes and can help you fix and overcome issues that are preventing you from being the best you can be in or outside the gym. I have a chronic shoulder issue that needs attention every now and then. Dr. Sean is able to get me back on track so that I can continue working out and make progress in my workouts. My strength has definitely improved. Dr. Sean has also addressed other occasional issues that have come up with my lower back and knees. I cannot say enought about how he understands how to work with athletes. Go to see Dr. Sean now. Do not wait. This is your final destination for all your PT needs.

Sean is knowledgeable, professional, caring, and collaborative. He was instrumental in helping me regain my strength and endurance after long illness. He works one-on-one with each patient, spends the entire time with each patient, and develops individualized treatment plans. I have seen four other physical therapists over the years and Sean is by far the best. Highly recommend!!
