Hello everyone, My name is Dan Lyons and I am a physical therapist at Sports and Ortho in Oak Lawn. I was born and raised in Oak Lawn where I went to school at St. Catherines, then Brother Rice. I like working with athletes and first responders to get themback and performing at a high level again. I like to spendmy time outdoors, whether it be playing golf, rugby, or hiking. I am also a hopelessly optimistic Bears fan who thinks Justin Fields will bring us to the promise land. I have lovedmy first year at S&Oand look forward
” Before I came to Sports and Ortho, I had pain in my left shoulder and numbness in my arm. I am a painter/engineer, and I was not able to do my job without pain or numbness. Thanks to Lauren
to working with the best patients around.
and her team for showing me the proper ways to stretch – it makes a huge difference when you’re doing them the right way. Lauren was fabulous; she massaged all the knots and tension out of me. I would recommend this place to everyone. It is a five-star-plus operation. Thanks for everything! PS – can’t wait to play golf.” — Joseph D.
