Injuries can stop anyone in their tracks—whether you're a weekend warrior, an elite athlete, or just trying to stay active and mobile. At Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston, we believe that staying ahead of injury is just as important as recovering from one. That’s why we offer a proactive Maintenance & Injury Prevention Program designed to keep your body in peak condition, reduce pain, and prevent future setbacks.

Why Injury Prevention Matters

Most people think of physical therapy only after they’ve been hurt. But what if you could stop injuries before they even happen? That’s the core philosophy behind our program. By identifying and correcting minor imbalances, movement issues, or muscular weaknesses early, you can drastically lower your risk of common injuries like:

  • Muscle strains and joint sprains
  • Back and neck pain
  • Knee and shoulder injuries
  • Tendonitis and overuse conditions

Think of it like going to the dentist—not because your teeth hurt, but to keep them healthy. Your body deserves that same kind of care.

What’s Included in the Skillz Maintenance & Injury Prevention Program?

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all routine. Our team customizes each program based on your specific
needs, goals, and activity level. Here's what you can expect:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation Assessment

We start with a full-body screening to pinpoint weak links in your movement patterns. With our comprehensive evaluation, we evaluate:

  • Flexibility and mobility
  • Core stability
  • Balance and coordination
  • Joint alignment and strength

2. Personalized Prevention Plan

Based on your assessment, we create a custom plan with:

  • Targeted mobility and strengthening exercises
  • Joint and muscle rebalancing
  • Postural correction and ergonomic guidance
  • Warm-up and cooldown routines specific to your sport or lifestyle

3. Hands-On Manual Therapy

Our expert physical therapists apply hands-on techniques to relieve tightness, improve range of motion, and enhance muscle performance.

4. Ongoing Progress Tracking

We believe in real results you can feel and measure. Regular re-assessments ensure you’re making progress and staying on track.

Perfect for Athletes, Workers, and Everyday Movers

This program isn’t just for athletes—although they love it. It’s also great for:

  • Busy professionals with desk jobs and postural strain
  • Runners, lifters, and gym-goers looking to boost performance
  • Seniors wanting to maintain independence and mobility
  • Anyone who’s tired of recurring aches and pains
