Lower Back Pain Core Physical Therapy helped me go back to my normal physical activities within a handful of week. Great staff and individual care.
Great Experience! (Tennis Elbow Treatment) I had a really positive experience doing physical therapy with Steve! He treated me for tennis elbow and seeing him definitely helped me improve. Steve spends a lot of time with his patients and has a lot of suggestions for helpful exercises. It was very convenient to schedule visits and Steve is a really nice guy. Overall it was a great experience having him as a physical therapist.

Great Service The PT I worked with at the FitPro location was awesome! Not only did he spend the entire hour working with me, but he taught me a lot about how the body works and how to avoid future injuries. His enthusiasm for his professions is clear. I've already recommended him to my friends.

Steve is great! Short and to the point, Steve is the best PT I have found so far. He actually figures out the problem and works to correct it. I am very happy and will definitely recommend him to anyone!! Thanks for helping me out when no one else could!
I went from high-heeled shoes and boots (with moderate walking) to old lady shoes. I had to give up lunges at the gym and anything on a high shelf. Thought it was sesamoiditis, it wasn't. Anyway, a podiatrist thought I should try iontophoresis. Good luck finding that in-work for insurance. So, someone told me about Core Physical Therapy. I called and left a message with a young woman. Later that day Jason Kart called me back. He was confident he could help me without iontophoresis and suggested a consultation (no strings attached). He was right. The clinic is small (I understand they are moving soon) but it definitely met my needs. The massages, pulls and stretches Jason performed made such a difference. I noticed an improvement quickly and am excited to see how things progress as I work my way back up to a regular workout routine, and dare I say, jumping jacks. He very thorough and seemed to enjoy explaining WHY he was doing something and the effect it should have. When Jason wasn't available I was still very happy with Jeff. The rest of the staff was friendly and in charge of of the stretching portion (under Jason's direction). I'd recommend Jason Kart and this group.
Jason changed my life. A big statement, for sure, but a true one. I had been suffering from constant pain in my left hip and leg, and decided to finally get some physical therapy. My coworker referred me to Core, and from day 1 I knew I was in good hands with Jason. His professional, calm demeanor immediately puts you at ease, and his expertise with the human body gives you confidence in his treatment. After some weeks of therapy, I was pain-free for the first time in months, and the pain has remained under control for months following my therapy. A small miracle, in my opinion. Following my therapy on my leg and hip, I was involved in a motorcycle accident (not my fault, I swear) and suffered a shoulder injury. I was so confident in Jason's abilities that I immediately returned to Jason for treatment, which has also been very helpful. It's a relief to have a therapist you can rely on when your body fails on you, and I'm thankful for that. When you add in a convenient location, easy online scheduling with tons of openings, and a staff you know by name, it's a no-brainer - go to Core.
Went into see Jason on the recommendation of my doctor, Dr. Sara Brown. I'd been in to see her after a few months of PT with another company produced no real progress and it turned out that they'd missed a diagnosis of a torn meniscus in my left knee. Have since been in for two spells of PT, each of which has left me very satisfied with the overall quality of care. Jason and his partner Jeff are very thorough, patient, friendly, and overall nice guys. They do a great job of explaining their diagnosis, how your body works, and overall mechanics of your problem. Instead of treating the symptoms, they focus on understanding why you got hurt in the first place and work to remedying that so it doesn't happen again. I'd recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy!
I went in with a pretty bad ankle sprain and was extremely frustrated. Within a few weeks, I saw significant progress. Jason and Jeff were both fantastic to work with. Each of them thoroughly answered any and all of my questions and did a better job of explaining things than my podiatrist. They know everyone's name, are friendly and professional and do their best to help you get better as quickly, and safely, as possible.
Jason Kart was hugely helpful and informative when I injured my knee when running. I love being active, so going to Physical Therapy and taking a break from my normal exercise routine wasn't ideal. Going to Core Physical Therapy was a huge eye-opener. I learned a lot about how my body composition impacts how certain joints like my knee function. Jason was great at explaining not only how to correct the issue, but also what it was and what caused it in the first place. My visits with Jason included some sports massaging and a series of exercises. Jason equipped me with several exercises to do on my own, as well as referred me to a podiatrist to help my knee even more. I am proud that after a few short weeks, I am happily running again pain-free! Core Physical Therapy isn't just a "band aid" for your pain, it's a real solution. I could not recommend this clinic more highly!
I can't thank Jason enough for how much he helped me through 2 different injuries/issues over the past 2 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I always appreciated how he really took the time with me to walk me through the process and treatment. He more than just answers questions- he wants his patients to understand how injuries occur and what they can do to heal or repair. I learned something new in every session. The one on one attention at Core Physical Therapy is truly unique. Jason helped me learn so much about awareness of how I use my body to avoid repeated injuries and further complications. I am so grateful for his help!
Iv being using Jason from core physical therapy for the past two months since I had a meniscus repair surgery on my left knee, every interaction with Jason was extremely professional and friendly, I got to his clinic and I was barely even able to bend my knee and walk and now I can run, squat and do deadlifts with weights! I would definitely recommend Jason to any patient that needs rehab and physical therapy. He is absolutely fantastic and really care about your physical progress Thanks Jason
I was having terrible lower back and sciatica pain, that took me from walking around 10 miles a day to barely being able to stand in the shower. Dr. Kart was a lifesaver. After seeing him twice a week for 6 weeks (and doing the exercises he gave me at home every night) I am now back to my usual walking routine, and couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend Dr. Kart and Core Physical Therapy!!
Had 6 sessions with Dr. Kart and he was able to clearly identify what a majority of my issues were. Just to be clear, 4 sessions in (about two weeks) things hadn't changed. On our 5th session - he made a simple suggestion (adding in an extra sole in one of my shoes) to test a hypothesis of his, and lo and behold, I started feeling much better - not 100%, but better than anyone else I had seen had done. I think I can speak to Dr. Kart's character - his ability to problem solve, and to know what he can and can't do. I get the sense that he is truly dedicated to fixing problems - even if it's not directly related to his own skill set (case in point - referring me to another podiatrist in house to get fitted for orthotics). We'll see if this fixes everything, but even if it doesn't, it's helped immensely already.
I was going for PT at Athletico, when after 2 months of therapy and I was not seeing any progress. I was also not impressed with the service at Athletico and I mentioned this to a friend of mine when she recommended Dr. Kart. I decided to give it a try. After a few sessions I was able to see more progress than the two months of therapy I previously had. I showed him the exercises I was previously given by the other office and he explained to me why they wouldn't work for the issue I was having. Not only does he explain what the exercise should do to the area, but he also supervised that I was doing the exercises correctly. At Athletico, there are many therapists and they show you once what you are to do and then they leave alone. Dr. Kart is very dedicated to the patient and dedicated professional who takes pride in seeing the progress of his patients. I was very satisfied with the therapy and I highly recommend Dr. Kart for your physical therapy needs.
Dr. Kart is amazing! I was having back pain and after just 8 visits my life has changed forever. He shares space with Loop Chiropractic (see my review, also fantastic) and work very much as a team and I believe this is why they figured out why I was hurting and showed me ways to stop the pain in no time. Always on time for my appointments, front office staff greeted me by name, space is immaculate and he has all the latest equipment but beyond that Dr. Kart so friendly, kind, and he really listened so he could create plan for me. If you need PT, work in the Loop (or not) go see Dr. Kart.
Dr. Kart is very, very good. I had arthroscopic surgery done on my shoulder, and he came recommended by my triple-board certified surgeon. The surgeon said Dr. Kart is "young and hungry, which means he will go out of his way to do a good job". He couldn't have been more right. After a few months of physiotherapy with Dr. Kart, my surgeon was shocked at how much I had improved. Dr. Kart is very knowledgeable, has numerous certifications, and is a cool guy to talk to as well. He and his partner's service go above and beyond that provided by the large national physiotherapy chains. He cares about each and every patient individually, and genuinely makes his best effort to help his clients. After literally every session, I could feel my shoulder getting better, more flexible, and stronger.
Highly recommend! Dr Kart is fantastic. Knowledgable, helpful with insurance, personable. It's clear that he likes what he does and cares about his patients. One on one sessions with him which I don't think you get at other places. He even emails when I have concerns or set backs with my treatment. Very impressive, please go see him if you need treatment. Online scheduling is also available..another perk.
Jason Kart is a great Physical Therapist. I definitely recommend using him if you have any issues where you need to have a physical therapist. He's is always asking questions on how I'm doing, what issues have come up, and never has made me feel as if he's too busy for any of my questions. He's a great guy and I enjoy working with him.
I highly recommend Dr. Jason Kart and Core Physical Therapy. When I needed PT while recovering from a broken leg, the first places that I visited were crowded with a lot of people on exercise machines and 1 or 2 physical therapists walking around supervising. Not so at Core, it's one-on-one and with a great staff who are very personable. On the first visit, Jason perform a thorough exam to identify which muscles needed the most focus and then customized the physical therapy sessions to strengthen my leg and regain muscle control. Core's personalized focus was especially helpful in motivating me to work hard and concentrate on improvement. I found Dr. Kart to be very knowledgeable and my surgeon deferred to Jason's judgment on the needed physical therapy. I am a very active and was quite frustrated by my lack of mobility. The goal I set at the onset on my PT was to be recovered enough to participate in RAGBRAI, a 440 mile bicycle ride across Iowa. Core helped me achieve this goal, which I am happy to report, was successfully completed last week.
I liked Jason Kart but did not like how insurance was intergrated with the P.T. sessions or experience.
I had been experiencing knee pain for quite a while and thought I could tough it out. After months of wincing pain, I got over my stubborn attitude and ended up being prescribed PT by an orthopedist. I was handed a list of locations of a large national chain offering physical therapy. So what did I do? I went to Yelp, of course! The large chain had some pretty nasty reviews and I decided I'd be better off with a smaller place that was less chaotic and not focused entirely on volume. Trying Core Physical Therapy was the right move! Jason Kart was my PT and right away I was impressed with his background and knowledge. He asked lots of questions and listened to me, and we started a path to wellness. Before going to Core, I couldn't walk downstairs or perform a lunge without experiencing shooting pain. After 6 weeks of treatment, having my exercise form corrected, and doing physical "homework" between sessions, I noticed the pain was almost gone. I could take the stairs and lunge! Jason continued to remind me that cartilage takes a lot of time to repair and that I should be patient. That was the best advice. I highly recommend Core if you want focused expert attention, a quiet and friendly environment and RESULTS.
I'm really glad I went to see Dr Kart at Core Physical Therapy. He's showing me some really great exercises to help my lower back. The exercises are tough but really make an impact. My pain has subsided substantially. I've been hurting for so long and I guess all those piyo and yoga classes weren't helping as much as I was hoping. Key to continued pain management is to do my pt at home. I'm doing things the correct way now and wish I would have come here sooner. I also like how I'm not pressured to be locked into a ton of sessions. I can always go back for a quick tune up if need be. And bonus, I get this all done on my lunch hour! I've done other places for physical therapy and couldn't stand it. I was just a number and didn't get near the results that I'm getting now at Core. Check it out....just go once or twice and TRY it. Your body will thank you.
I would highly recommend core to anyone in need of physical therapy. Unlike most PT places, you get the consistency of working with the same therapist each one-on-one, customized session. Dr. Kart did wonders for my knee. He took the time to understand what I wanted to get out it and developed a plan and pushed accordingly. He is also quite personable which is great considering the amount of time you're spending at PT. Shane was also wonderful to work with. Overall, fantastic experience.
When I first started going to Core Physical Therapy in February, I was barely able to walk. As someone who does not like to be sidelined, Dr. Kart was fantastic in coaching me through the process, recognizing that there will be success and set- backs. In the past when I was in physical therapy, I would work with the doctor for about 15 minutes. With Core Physical Therapy, you are getting hands on attention from your physical therapists for an entire hour. Working with Dr. Kart was a great experience- and set me on the path of recovery quickly. The process is more hands on, and the focus is on high quality patient care.
I can't say enough great things about Anthony and the Core Physical Therapy team! I had twins in July and starting work with Anthony within two months in order to regain my strength and try to put my stomach muscles back in place (diastasis recti). Anthony is extremely knowledgable, and has the perfect mix of patience and motivation that you want in a physical therapist. I know that I was able to recover much quicker thanks to my weekly sessions. I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy and thank them soooooo much for helping me during such a challenging time in my life.
I went yesterday, per the great reviews on Yelp. It did live up to the high expectations I had. The facility is clean and beautiful. Anthony was amazing. He's very professional, patient, and thorough. I was very impressed with my PT and I am planning on carrying out the rest of my sessions at Core. I appreciate the videos available so that I do my exercises correctly at home as well. I also REALLY appreciate the fact that Anthony was honest. My script said PT 3xs a week, but he said 2xs would be sufficient. As a mother of two young boys, this was a relief!! He could've taken advantage and he didn't. I highly recommend Core PT and Anthony:)
Anthony is thorough, professional and very helpful. I went to see him after being seen over a 1.5 month period at another practice. I was not getting the help that I needed, and my knee was not recovering. I could tell right away that Anthony's care was different. He was very holistic in treating my knee, working on my alignment and strength. I will highly recommend Anthony to anyone who needs PT in the area!
Jason and Sarah were outta sight! Both so professional, knowledgeable, experienced and caring in their approach to my rehabilitation. I always felt as if I was in good hands and my best interests and abilities were taken into consideration in their approach to my recovery. Both the Loop and West Loop locations were lovely, well equipped and convenient. I would without hesitation recommend their services (in fact I already have to my friends and family). I cannot sincerely sing their praises enough! :-)
I had a wonderful experience here. Jason understands how hard labor is on the female body and is amazing at getting you to feel better and get back on your feet! He always worked around my schedule and understood how hard it is to get away with a new baby.
I have had three sessions with Jason for an issue in my spine/neck that I have been suffering with for almost a year, and I am already seeing progress. He is a sincere, caring, expert medical professional, and I am very glad that I discovered him. I have had experience with physical therapy previously and have never encountered a therapist as thorough with his evaluation and explanations as Jason.
Jason and Sarah are awesome! Both are professional and knowledgeable. Sarah who works in the West Loop location has given me individual attention and she has really helped with my shoulder rehabilitation. Unlike another popular place that I tried, they take the time and really focus on you. I highly recommend them!
I've had a great experience with my treatment so far. I am about half way through, and I have no complaints. Jason works with my schedule and you can make appointments online. He goes above and beyond any doctor I have worked with, by providing personalized treatment, in-depth research on the issue you're having, and by taking his time to explain what is going on. I've had an ankle issue for over a year and I am finally starting to see some improvement thanks to him. It is very refreshing, since I have gotten the run around with three other doctors. It's because Jason gets to know his patients, that he can effectively treat them.
I've had to go through physical therapy in the past; this is the first time it's been personalized with the appropriate level of treatment, keeping my issues top of mind. The amount of time spend with Jason for each session is just right. I've had a great experience so far!
I went to Core Physical Therapy for problems with my lower back . Jaime was my therapist and she was very friendly and knowledgable . She gave me one on one attention as well as having me work on my own. I feel that she was accommodating to my schedule and she always sent me home with extra work to strengthen my muscles. Overall I do feel better and I know I will return if I have any future issues. I would definitely recommend Jaime as your therapist !
