Eva was an amazing pt and helped me a ton with a variety of activation and strengthen exercises. She was easy and fun to work with. Eva and Manny also were able to integrate my recovery pt with weight lifting and gave me great feedback and cues that have me on the path to being even stronger than I was prior.

I am a runner and was injured with a plantar plate tear, metatarsal stress fracture, and capsulitis from January-May. I walked with a limp and had pain with every step. A friend recommended Unbroken so I tried it out in May. Within a couple weeks, I was seeing improvements after months of being stagnant. While it took a few months of weekly PT, I was finally able to return to running. I couldn’t have done it without the amazing staff at Unbroken (Dr. Kevin and Dr. Rachel specifically). Now I’m happy to report, I’m training for Boston this April. Not only did they help me recover, I learned so much about foot strength and exercises I will take with me forever to keep my body strong.
The 1-on-1 attention you get from the staff at Unbroken is remarkable. They listen and tailor a plan to your needs. Thanks Unbroken!

I had an amazing experience with receiving care at Unbroken. I worked with Eva, who was patient and kind throughout the whole physical therapy process. I felt that my pain was always validated and treated, even when my symptoms were confusing and frustrating. Eva was very responsive when I had any issues. I would highly recommend Unbroken and Eva!

Rachel is fantastic!!! In under a month, she helped me recover and build strength to prevent chronic ankle sprains. I feel well prepared to continue strength training and get back to heavier weights. I felt like both my home exercises and appointments with Rachel were extremely complementary to my workout routine and helped me improve my form and capacity. I highly recommend the Lakeview Unbroken Rehab clinic!!!!

If you’re looking for a place to rehab, you’ve found it! Rachel and her team do a fantastic job of getting you back to the level you where before you’re injury.
While a lot of other places will get you back to “everyday functions”, which serves a purpose, Unbroken will help you get back to where you were – an important distinction for athletes.
This is a place that will not only work to get you back to functioning at the level you desire, but also highlight additional things that might be keeping you from reaching your full potential as an athlete.

Thank you so much Jarrett. We’re glad you appreciate our vision on what sports rehab should look like. Please reach out to us if you ever need us again in the future

Can’t say enough about the incredible Unbroken team at the Lincoln Avenue location. As a recreational upper extremity athlete for most of my life, I’ve consistently struggled with shoulder pain. After picking Olympic weightlifting back up about a year ago, the pain became unmanageable and began affecting my day to day life. The team at Unbroken came highly recommended by some close friends of mine and after being a client myself, I can see why. Their philosophy around continuing to incorporate core functional strength movements and my Olympic weightlifting passion throughout my rehab process sold me immediately. And after working with Rachel and Manny throughout this fall, they successfully turned my consistent pain into a couple of PRs in my Olympic lifts in just five months. Between Rachel’s PT programming and manual work on my shoulder and back, paired with Manny’s coaching on my lifting technique, I’m officially graduating from Unbroken pain free and moving better than when I stepped in the door. This team is passionate about their athletes and functional strength movements and it shows in everything they do. Being a part of team Unbroken is an absolute no brainer.

Wow Samantha, thank you so much for the thoughtful review. I’m proud of our team in Lakeview and we’re so glad we got to help you PR! Happy graduation!

Great physical therapy. They understand and know how to treat athletes and it’s always a fun (hard) session. I’ve been coming to Unbroken for almost a year now and have been seeing them most recently to treat a back injury that has gotten much better under their care.
Response from the owner 1 year ago
Thank you Patrick. We’re glad we were able to treat your back pain, and challenge a high level athlete like yourself to make the sessions as beneficial as possible for you

This place is awesome. Doctor Kevin Ackerman has helped me recover from lifter’s elbow and now we are working on helping my osteoarthritis. I’ve been lifting for years and my arthritis has gotten so bad I can’t do straight bar deadlifts anymore. I am able to hex bar deadlift and I’m getting back to fighting weight for me. He knows what he’s doing.
I also love the rest of the staff: Doc Rachel and Manny. I look forward to going to PT every week. Who can say that about physical therapy? 😉
Response from the owner 1 year ago
Thank you Amanda! You looking forward to PT every week is a testament to the team we’ve assembled here. Thank you for your continued support

As someone who’s a recreational adult athlete and loves to be active, Unbroken Rehab has been a real asset in supporting my lifestyle. High impact sports like climbing and soccer have led to shoulder and ankle injuries, and the team at unbroken have worked hard to support my return to sport and get me back stronger than ever.
Rachel, Kevin, and Manny are very knowledgeable and have provided insightful evals and structured programs. I highly recommend them, no matter if your goal is to heal an injury, or to simply get stronger.

I started going to Unbroken after being diagnosed last fall with osteoarthritis in my knees (I have basically no cartilage under my kneecaps) and a torn meniscus in my right knee. I was in pain every day for a year and a half before I decided to look into it (pro tip: don’t do that). I wanted to believe I could do things I care about – like take long urban hikes on vacation, dance, and squat – without pain. I also worried about finding a PT who wouldn’t tell me to stop lifting and have my flopping about on the floor with light resistance bands.
enter Kevin and unbroken! he helped reassure me that improvement was possible, helped me modify lifting but never told me to stop, and loaded me appropriately for my powerlifting background. he carefully studied my training protocol and designed PT to supplement it. he got me through my initial knee pain, a bicep tendon tweak during meet prep, and another knee tweak. I’m finally walking around pain free, living the life I wanna live. and Manny was an incredible hype man who made sure the logistics went smoothly.
all in all a life changing experience – highly recommended for all your Chicago area aches and pains!

We are floored by your review Katie! You represent the prototypical “unbroken” mindset that we try to convey in our treatments and we’re so glad that you’ve had a great experience with us!

I had an amazing experience at Unbroken! Rachel and the rest of the team made me feel comfortable and supported. I initially came in with persistent neck and upper back pain that had been bothering me for a while. After trying several other treatments without success, I was feeling pretty discouraged and unsure that anything would help. After just one session with Rachel, I felt a noticeable sense of relief and encouragement. Over six weeks, I received a combination of physical therapy and dry needling, and I could really feel the difference. Rachel took the time to guide me through exercises that I could easily continue at home, which helped me maintain progress even outside of the sessions. My pain has improved significantly, and I now feel much more confident in my ability to manage my symptoms going forward. I highly recommend going to see Rachel at Unbroken!

Kevin, Manny, and Rachel @ unbroken on Lincoln are amazing! I’m an avid lifter and Kevin and Manny makes sure that I’m taking care of my body and using the correct form. I’ve been seeing Kevin at unbroken for several months and have made so much progress on my pain in my hip and wrist. Plus the vibes are 🫡💯
Response from the owner 2 years ago

i have been working with kevin and manny for a decent amount of time and i couldn’t be happier with the results i am seeing. those two are quite the team. i have witnessed kevin work with kids, recovering adults, and elite athletes. i have come in with various major/minor injuries and each has been fixed or become 10x more manageable. there’s no problem he can’t tackle, he’s your guy.
special shout-out to manny. he is amazing with communication, scheduling, and the million other things he does behind the scenes.

Hey Diego, that makes us happy to hear that you appreciate the team we have over in Lakeview. Kevin and Manny are awesome and we’re glad we are able to help you get back to your training while managing your injuries

Worked with Kevin for about 3-4 months and was thrilled with my experience. We started off with low confidence in my back but by the end of my time at Unbroken I was confident in my ability to use a part of my body that had been in rough shape for over a year post injury. Kevin and the team at Unbroken Lakeview helped me understand my limits and how I could effectively use my body in the ways I wanted to. Every time I went we explored new ways to treat the issues I was having until finding what worked for me. Also helps that they’re all very friendly and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend going in for an evaluation if you are looking for a PT!

Best Physical Therapy in Lakeview!
I came in to treat a lower back injury that really affected my quality of life as it prevented me from exercising and being active. Becca at Unbroken provided me with personalized 1-1 sessions aligned to my goals which entailed being pain free and regaining my mobility and strength in order to resume a more active lifestyle. I could not be happier with having found them! The personalized plan included exercises that gradually increased strength and mobility and helped me back to running and strength training. Things I thought I was not going to be able to do again!
The team at Unbroken, including Becca, Ryan, and Immanuel are always very energetic, positive and really care about you. Going to PT here is not only super personalized but also fun! Every day I looked forward to my PT sessions with them. They also have strength training equipment you typically don’t see in most PT offices such as squad racks, dumbbells, etc.
