Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our therapy services and what to expect during your visits to Hart Strength & Rehab.
What should I wear to my first physical therapy appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting workout clothing that allows for easy movement. If we are treating a specific joint, like a knee or shoulder, please wear attire that provides easy access to that area (such as shorts or a tank top).
How long do the sessions typically last?
Most physical therapy and wellness sessions last between 45 and 60 minutes. Your initial evaluation may take slightly longer as we perform a comprehensive assessment to develop your personalized recovery plan.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?
In the state of Illinois, you can access physical therapy services directly without a referral for up to 15 business days. However, some insurance providers may still require a physician's referral for coverage purposes; we recommend checking with your insurance provider.
What specialized therapies do you offer?
Beyond traditional physical therapy, our clinic specializes in Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy, and Compression Therapy. We also offer manual treatments like cupping, IASTM, and personalized physical wellness programs.
Patient Success Stories
I first started working with Jered after trying to find relief in my left foot, and he was highly recommended by my podiatrist for his dry needling certification. Even after undergoing two surgeries, Jered supported me through both recoveries with personalized care and constant encouragement. He consistently went above and beyond to help me find relief and regain strength, and I couldn’t recommend him more!
I have utilized PT/OT services for a number of years while living in different parts of the country. Jered is among the best I have gone to. He is very knowledgeable in the field and possesses a superb skill set in analyzing and designing a treatment plan, when working with his clients. He is professional, attentive, and personable. He spends time listening to his patients, employing what is needed to strengthen and assist in their recovery, and adapts to changes based on the patient’s needs. I highly recommend his services!
After my Achilles surgery, I started with Jered just two weeks post-op, not knowing quite what to expect. He immediately put me at ease. What I appreciated most was how personalized everything felt—he used a mix of techniques, hands-on work, and strengthening exercises, always adjusting to what I needed. I never felt like just another patient. He also explains things in a way that makes the recovery process feel manageable and less overwhelming. Thanks to Jered, I’ve come farther than I ever expected. If you want someone who truly cares and knows what they’re doing, this is the place to go.
