Patient Success Spotlight
Body Gears News
Welcome to our two newest PTs, David Hurley at our Oak Park location and Francis McDonald in St. Louis! David has a year of experience working with orthopedic conditions in the fast-paced downtown area and Francis is a new graduate from St. Louis University. Body Gears had the excitement of expanding the Oak Park and West Loop clinic locations in 2017 and we’re excited to keep on growing. We often see people in the clinic who are trapped in their injury stories. Our senior PT Rebecca has recorded a podcast speaking about our approach to transforming them into healing stories. Your injury story is still important, after all, it was the focus of your first visit. Once you have a few visits with us under your belt, it’s time to start your healing story. Check out our podcast for weekly uploads and to learn how to transform your story into one of healing. Find us on Sound Cloud @BodyGearsPT
“As a physician who is also very active in sports personally, I both send many patients to physical therapy, and go to physical therapy myself, frequently. Aaron is definitely the best physical therapist I have ever met. I injured my back last summer, and I was referred to a physical therapy center that gave me some generic exercises on a xeroxed sheet. At BodyGears, Aaron instantly recognized the movement pattern that had led to my injury, and then gave me exercises to change that movement pattern so I would not only get better but not injure myself again! Instead of a xeroxed sheet, I received videos of my prescribed exercises, which were a huge improvement. Along the way, an old injury cropped up. In less than a minute Aaron diagnosed what was causing the problem and taught me what I could do to prevent its recurrence. That was 4 months ago, I’m back exercising as much as ever, and I’m feeling great. I’m sure I’ll need PT again at some point, and when I do I’ll definitely be going back to see Aaron. I’ll also be referring as many patients whose insurance allows them to go to BodyGears.” - Damon S. (Body Gears Graduate!) I’m back exercising as much as ever!
