New patients

First stepS

A personalized treatment plan is my goal. I will perform a thorough and detailed evaluation of your condition to help me determine whether you are likely to benefit from physical therapy and which treatments are most likely to help you.

The initial appointment will typically last about an hour, and at the conclusion of the evaluation, I will discuss my findings with you and design an individualized treatment program for you. This program is based on both your history and your examination, and it typically includes manual therapy intervention, in-office exercises, as well as techniques for a home exercise program.

To save time, please complete the online registration prior to the first visit. This will allow me to focus on evaluation and treatment instead of paperwork and get you started even faster.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE -

Please complete the new patient intake/registration which will be emailed to you a week (or less) prior to your first appointment.

Testimonials

Lisa introduced me to more alternative therapies such as dry needling, cupping and power plate rehabilitation. These therapies combined with a strength building routine has changed my entire perspective on my physical health. Lisa has a deep understanding of the physiology of the body and is constantly learning new techniques to compliment and expand her PT practice. I went to Lisa to address issues in my hip, and quickly learned that an old knee injury was also a contributing factor. I also discovered how much an old neck injury was causing potential shoulder issues and have been working hard to strengthen and support my back, neck and shoulder. I don’t know where I would be in this process without Lisa and I’ve yet to find someone to pick up where she left off when she moved away. Come back Lisa!

I have had back and neck pain for much of my adult life. I have worked with a number of good physical therapists over the years. Lisa Jurski stands head and shoulders above everyone else. Lisa worked with me, one on one, hands on, practically every minute of every session. She used far more tools from her ample physical therapy “toolbox”. She went far beyond others’ typical routine of heating pad, ice packs and a few exercises. Lisa’s combo of needling, cupping, and using the hand-held power massager released muscle spasms and relieved my pain more quickly than others’ past regimes had. Her weight routines were remarkably varied and effective. She is a clear communicator with sensitivity, whether dealing with an accident or sport injury or pelvic floor issues. In short, Lisa is a great physical therapist and was a godsend for me.

Kay S., Chicago

Lisa has provided me with physical therapy for several chronic, complex issues over the past 18 years. I have always found Lisa to be very professional and knowledgeable on a wide range of physical injuries. She has made my recoveries easier with her personable & patient focused approach. I was sad when she moved to Austin, but we are now able to continue treatment via tele-health.

K.J., Chicago

Lisa was the best PT that I have found. I had an accident at work on a Sunday afternoon. I reached out to Lisa for her opinion about how to address my issue, and with true concierge style service, she invited me over in the moment to take a look and help me out. She is very comprehensive in her treatment offering both rehabilitative and strengthening style services. She has helped me with different chronic issues I have developed over the years and has taught me how to better take care of myself to prevent future injuries. I have yet to find a PT to take her place and honestly hope she makes her way back to Chicago one day :)

Matt R., Chicago

I am devastated that Lisa left Chicago. In 2001 I injured my shoulder and she was the one who immediately realized what I needed to do. She is amazing at diagnosing things. Lisa helped me through pregnancy carpal tunnel, my shoulder surgery recovery, pelvic floor issues, as well as a ton of muscle and joint issues over the years. Lisa has done PT, dry needling, cupping, visceral manipulation, and more! She has coached me on nutrition and fertility. She has figured out what I needed to do for my joints and even came to some of the appointments with me. She really is a one of a kind. I'd fly to Austin to see her if it were feasible!

Jennifer M., Chicago

Lisa is by far the best and most caring physical therapist I know. She truly cares about her patients and takes a holistic approach to her treatment. She doesn’t just do a band-aid fix of treating the symptoms, but instead treating the whole body and getting to the root cause of the issue. Her top priority is getting her patients back to living the life they love. Lisa is the only PT I trusted after 2 bi-lateral hip surgery, and she got me back to running in under a year. Lisa treats every patient as family, and I will miss having her in Chicago both as a PT and a friend.

Carissa D., Chicago

Lisa Jurski is smart, reliable, available and incredibly knowledgeable. She has been treating members of our family for over 10 years. Lisa has the special ability to analyze an injury/condition in ways that others do not. If you or a family member is an athlete of any level, Lisa should be part of your team to help keep you healthy, avoid injury and, of course, recover from injuries that do occur. We desperately miss having Lisa in Chicago – Austin is fortunate to have her!
