Our Staff
This clinic was started with one thing in mind. To treat the whole person the way everyone deserves to be treated…the best way possible! For that reason you will only be seen by a licensed physical therapist when you come to Crystal Lake Physical Therapy Inc. and you will receive that therapist’s full undivided attention. Because we don’t use unlicensed support staff to provide your treatment we believe that you will get better faster, which will equate to less money out of your pocket and more time for you to focus on what is important to you.
