The main goals of PT are to reduce pain, improve mobility and strength, manage chronic conditions, and aid recovery from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses. PTs also work to prevent future injuries and promote overall health and quality of life.

At Core PT, we work with just about everything except for post operative hand surgeries! If you have a question about whether we treat your condition, call or send a text to 773.999.9825 and we will ask the PTs!
