I had severe back pain due to sciatic nerve pain. I went to doctors, but I hated the feeling and what oral and steroid shots did to me. Rachel is my angel from explanation to execution brought me back to life.

I was (luckily!) referred to The Pilates PT after the birth of my first child. I was hesitant due to the time demand of a newborn coupled with the pain/ recovery issues that I felt at the time after a difficult birth experience. I was able to get in quickly and worked with Dr. Rachel for pelvic floor PT. It’s clear that Dr. Rachel is made for this specialized care. She’s clearly talented in what she does and, moreover, she does it with an incredibly warm, authentic, and compassionate approach. This was paramount for me because in my post partum world (so challenging!), I relied on her grace and encouragement. She’s solid and deliberate in what she recommends too - she knows a lot about the body and explains “the why” which was big for me. I’m a visual learner, so I greatly benefited from the YouTube videos that Dr. Rachel created for the at-home exercises. That was a huge factor for my personal success - it took the fear and loneliness out of the exercises (Am I doing this right? Will this ever get better? Why is this hard for me?)Within sessions, I was back to my old self for everyday living and as I neared the end of my treatment plan…I’m back to running and jump rope, activities that didn’t seem possible in “new mom”, breastfeeding life. Thank you, Dr. Rachel - I’m so thankful to have had you as part of my care team and will be back in the future… this PT truly works!

I loved my experience at the Pilates PT. I really felt that I was being taken care of by all Melissa, Rachel and Cathy. They helped me understand my postnatal body and taught me so much about proper techniques to strengthen my abdominal wall. I also really enjoyed their classes and found them super helpful in getting back into exercise after having a baby.

I've done physical therapy, private Pilates and group Pilates here and all were excellent. I especially like how the PTs and Pilates instructors are able to communicate and work together. I had a specific functional goal in mind and everyone at the studio helped me to achieve it. Even then, I continued on because the older I get, the more I realize taking care of my body is a worthy investment.

***edit***2022- I recently brought my 15 year old to The Pilates PT with Cathy. She was excellent and really helped my daughter understand her body and movement better. My daughter is a club volleyball athlete and I have had her visit several physical therapists in the past. They are all so generic and basic. They help her with her immediate pain but never helped her truly understand what movements she needed to be doing for her body. The time and education Cathy spent with both me and my daughter are exactly the reasons we will keep coming back when we need help. Thank you Cathy and Rachel!2018 -Love Rachel!! I have had a very long history of low back pain and most recently hurt it badly at crossfit. Rachel has not only helped me recover but is also teaching me how to prevent my back from going out by helping me find my inner core and doing proper exercises to create functional movement and strength!

Last fall I saw Dr. Rachel to help with post-natal aches and pains. She provided easy to implement exercises that I could perform while playing on the floor with my little one. I then incorporated post-natal PT with Tabitha to continue building my strength, especially in my core and pelvic floor.Just prior to becoming pregnant I had completed my second half marathon. I was so far from that condition that, even with Dr. Rachel's help, I wasn't sure I'd get back there.Well..last Sunday I successfully completed a half marathon! My goal was to run the entire race and I achieved it at a pace of 11:35.In reflecting how I went from c-section to race, PT with Dr. Rachel and the post-natal pilates classes with Tabitha were absolutely contributing factors.Thank you to Dr. Rachel and Tabitha for helping me reconnect with my strong body and discover my core. They are the BEST!!

Rachel and Carrie have been phenomenal in helping me rehab from knee surgery and the resulting imbalances. They take the time to listen to what is bothering me, and then tailor exercises to help with the problem. The in person sessions have been great, but I also really appreciate the at-home exercises that I will be able to use going forward. I have already seen a ton of improvement, and am excited to see more!

I can’t say enough about the experience I’ve had here. This is way more than your average PT! I came here for a hip injury after having PRP. After one visit I felt some relief! Rachel is a miracle worker. She also helped with other issues I was having with my pelvic floor that another Pelvic floor therapist from Northshore had no affect on even after 6 visits. She is hands on the entire hour. Do not go anywhere else. You will wish you came here 1st.

I've really enjoyed my time at Pilates PT. I've learned so much from Cathy, who is both warm and knowledgeable, relatable, and the best cheerleader! I started going 2 years postpartum to help with low back pain and pelvic floor health, which progressed to a few running exercises to help strengthen my knees and glutes. The office is open, comfortable and clean. I highly recommend all women take interest and care for your pelvic floor health, and do it here with these awesome women!
