Testimonial Archives

I have been going to Refresh Studio since it’s inception and can honestly say that I never intend on going anywhere else. You are always treated with a warm hello and smile the minute you walk through the door. They give you their full attention and truly listen to all of your concerns and questions regarding your health to formulate a treatment plan specific to your needs. I always feel like a new person by the end of each appointment and walk out of there able to do so much more than when I arrived. The staff at Refresh is comprised of dedicated individuals that love what they do and it absolutely shows in the way they go about helping you with your needs. I cannot stress enough my absolute love for their establishment and staff and I encourage everyone to give this place a shot and fall in love too!

I am currently a physical therapy patient at Homer Glen Orthopedic. I was referred by a friend, who loved the care she received here. As soon as I knew I was having my ankle replaced, I knew I was going to Homer Glen to get my physical therapy. The entire staff from Pat and Jessica to all my therapists have been great, it truly is a family atmosphere. All the therapist I’ve worked with are so knowledgeable. I myself am a physical therapist by trade and they have treated me no different. They explained everything I needed to do in order to get back to work. My surgeon did not think I was going to achieve anything from my surgery. The therapy I received increased my flexion and has allowed me to being walking again in a gym shoe. I have not been able to do that for 17 years. With the great therapists I had in Helen and Carrie, I achieved it. I am still with Homer Glen Orthopedic and cannot wait to receive more physical therapy to increase my strength. They will work around your work schedule which is a plus. They are more than just an orthopedics, they can do any kind of physical therapy you need to help you return to work or your regular routine. Take it from a therapist, Homer Glen Orthopedics is the best rehabilitation facility to you to where you need to be. I will be the first to refer patients to them.

When asked if I would consider providing a brief testimony of my experience with Homer Chiropractic and Orthopedic Physical Therapy, my first thought was of course yet how can I make it brief! Well, here goes nothing.

I have been coming here for physical therapy services for me and/or my family since 2012. The services they offer here are at best described comprehensive and expert. No matter what the diagnosis or symptom, they have the skills, experience, and best of all wisdom to assist their patients on their healing journey. Various treatment options may include, laser, acupuncture, myofascial release, cranial sacral, chiropractic, and Pilates with a reformer. As an occupational therapist myself, I am aware that expert clinical skills are essential, yet without the necessary wisdom, practitioners will not know how to best utilize their skills including the proper timing and sequencing of various approaches in ways that bring their clients the progress they are requiring to return to their daily lives. The staff at Homer Chiro and Physical Therapy have proven they have the wisdom that comes with experience.

The combined effort of their family to address the underlying causes and provide various treatment approaches, surpasses any other corporate, hospital or private practice treatment approach. I can say this with full confidence because what ensures that this statement is accurate is that Homer Chiro and Physical Therapy staff actually listens and observes in a 1:1 setting. They are continuously and seamlessly working out your individual plan. I have experienced this personally while recovering from herniated discs and an ankle injury this past year. Put simply, these caring and wise professionals have the knowledge and work with you individually for the entire session, in order to determine your changing needs. In my humble opinion, it is this approach that enables their clients to reach their goals.

I have and will continue to recommend this practice to family and friends.

The first day I met Stephanie she told me to bend over and touch my toes. I laughed. I had not touched by toes since I was in kindergarten. I obliged and bent over. I barely made it past my knees. Stephanie told me not to worry, by the end I would touch the floor. I assumed she meant by the end of my 4 weeks of PT I had because I hurt my back at work. The workout was hard and the stretches had be ready to cry. When we were done with the workout I felt exhausted but better than I had felt in a long time. As I was getting ready to go, Steph told me to bend over again and try to touch the floor. I rolled my eyes a little thinking she just loved to torture me. As I bent over and reached, I realized I could touch the floor. This was only after one session with Stephanie. To some this may seem like no big deal. However, it meant the world to me. It gave me hope my back could heal and I could become better than I once was. The journey has been long and sometimes hopeless, but Stephanie stuck with me the whole time providing encouragement and tips on how to work through the various problems that arose. I am happy to say that my back is almost back to normal. Stephanie and her team not only provide encouragement, but education that makes you smarter and stronger for the future so you don’t hurt yourself again. I highly recommend Orthopedic Physical Therapy! The team is awesome, well educated, and truly cares.

I had scoliosis surgery in 1976. Everything was great with my back until I hit the dreaded 50’s. Now I deal with arthritis, stiffness, and less rotation. Pain is accompanying my symptoms. Pilates is a savior for me. Although I have to make modifications I always feel so much better the days I come. Just because we age and have pain doesn’t mean you give up. Adapt, stretch, and move.

“What a great place! The staff there really know their stuff. If you are looking for a Pilates studio with knowledgeable instructors, this is the place. They will help you stay in shape, prevent injury, AND help heal from present injury! Awesome all around!”

“After a back injury, I started taking Pilates classes here at Refresh. I feel so much stronger just after 6 weeks of classes. Because the class sizes are limited, you feel like you’re working out with a personal trainer. I look forward to my workouts more than ever, now!”

“I love Refresh! The classes are great, the instructors awesome and the atmosphere totally friendly and welcoming!!! Now I am going there for Physical Therapy and Stephanie is a wonderful PT. I love all the staff!! Would highly recommend Refresh for Pilates, Yoga, and Physical therapy! Good for your body and soul!!”

“I am so very grateful to Dr Stephanie and the amazing group of caring individuals at Refresh! You have helped me to achieve a new level of confidence and strength. Amazing people with amazing skills. I have been with Dr Stephanie’s Family of Chiro and PT starting in Jan of 1991 with Dr Helen, for 25 years , and am forever owing to the wonderful selfless care that I have received! 5 stars is really not enough!”
