Free Body Physical Therapy

I really enjoyed working with Marc, and I still would be if we didn't move from Chicago. He is very knowledgeable and helped me primarily with a lingering ankle injury, but also other nagging ailments and general maintenance. I recommend giving it a go. Best of luck. Read more >

I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus. I've had a history of injuries to the knee and prior experience with PT. The folks at FBPT have been excellent to me. I'm working with Vanessa with the goal of returning to sport, and I've had several sessions with Marc as well. They've taught me several new exercises and improved my technique with ones that I've done before. They take the time to explain how your body works, what each exercise targets, and what to expect as you progress with your healing. When they're working with you, they are focused 100%. They are encouraging when you get something right, and patient when you get something wrong. And although they do have a strict cancellation policy, if you have an emergency, they will work with you to reschedule your appointment and avoid the late fee. Overall, I'm thankful that I've found FBPT. Excellent experience so far! Read more >

I'm pretty cheap and skeptical of most things. This place, however, was worth every penny. I injured my knee from weightlifting. It got to the point where I felt discomfort while walking, let alone lifting or running. Dr. Vanessa was amazing and quickly assessed the mobility and strength deficiencies I had. I hope I never have to go to physical therapy again, but if I did it would be at Free Body. Also, Kenny (front desk/insurance guru) is great and really friendly. I felt like everyone at Free Body genuinely cared about my wellbeing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Read more >

I am super happy I found Marc! I came to him with years of chronic shoulder/neck pain and a few years long of post injury pain in the lower back and hip. In one session, my hip flexor pain that has been limiting my ability to walk, work and even sleep for upwards of 6 months, reduced in pain by 80%. One session. I almost cried. Wish I had not waited so long! Now we are working on shoulder and neck mobility and strengthening.
Marc genuinely cares about your progress. He's a awesome human, intuitive and makes sessions fun. I can't recommend him enough. Read more >

I was experiencing some neck / trapezius pain in mid December that became pretty severe. In under 2 months of working with Marc via virtual appointments, I have strengthened my neck and upper back and no longer have pain. I highly recommend Free Body to anyone experiencing neck or any other type of issues! Read more >

Marc and all the Staff at Free Body made me feel like family. I completely trust Marc with any PT issue I have/will have in the future. Read more >

I did some extensive research on which PT provider to go to. I had been experiencing knee pain for over a year. Marc is one of the few that have FAAOMPT at end of his name, which means that he has not only the head knowledge but also manual experience for dealing with all sorts of issues. He was recommended to me by a friend who holds the same credentials (but lives in another state). Marc was incredibly thorough in his assessment and remained focused on getting me back to running, and gave me very specific guidelines for exercises that I needed to do in between sessions. I also felt like he didn't keep me there longer than I needed to be. Would absolutely recommend him and go back to him if I ever get injured again. From the front desk to the 'patient' care, FBPT is a wonderful place!!! Read more >

I can’t thank Dr. Vanessa enough for all that she has done to help my plantar fasciitis!!! My pain was unbearable; i could not stand up in the mornings. I couldn’t justify paying to meet a deductible 1 month before the end of the year so Kenny offered to check my telehealth benefits. So happy he went above and beyond because my telehealth visits were free!!! Dr. Vanessa and I immediately started working together and now 2 months later my pain is 80% better! Dr. Vanessa is so thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. She is everything I look for in a clinician, my standards are pretty high being in healthcare myself. I saw Dr. Marc once and he was amazing too. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of PT! Read more >

Olga is very excited to recommend Read more >

Came in with lower back pain and a previously torn meniscus. Marc educated me on proper ways to lift weights and helped me build my strength. Most importantly, he cares about you as an individual and wants to see you reach your goals. If you're looking for the best physical therapist I would highly recommend getting in touch with Marc to see how he can help you. Read more >

So, I have a pretty beefy history with Sir Marc Guillen (He’s officially obtained knight status with me lol). I had rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder in May of 2014, Bankart Lesion to be exact. It’s where they reattach torn ligaments to the ball of the shoulder in order to prevent it from dislocating. I was recommended Marc for therapy on it way back when he would slap on the Vick’s like substance and chisel my shoulder and upper back into perfection. Painful as it was I trusted the man with the chisel and followed his instructions for exercise band work at home.

Fast forward 6 years and lots of repetitive band workouts that seemed to be stalemating me, I called Marc and met him at his new clinic, Free Body Physical Therapy. Part of the reason I called him again was because I was experiencing lots of pinching as I would work it out or use it in every day function.... Read more >

got a great recommendation by Marc Anthony Read more >

I had awful neck pain and lower back/hip pain, and was referred here. Marc was incredible with providing relief but also focusing on the root causes and long term wellness. His focused treatment in office and tailored home self exercises made progress so much easier. Within a few sessions I felt immediate relief and over the course of treatment now feel stronger than before. His personal approach to treatment makes it special and I looked forward to every session. The staff here is also incredibly kind and helpful, providing a great atmosphere for treatment. I would highly recommend FreeBody PT to anyone and everyone looking to get better! Read more >

Hi! My name is John and I’ve been coming to Free Body for 2 months. My story started in August when I flipped over my bicycle and landed on my shoulder, leaving me with a broken coracoid process and a grade II AC joint sprain.

I was instructed to immobilize my shoulder for about a month, to allow time for the bone to heal.

After that month, I receive clearance to resume activity and start PT. I work in the IMD (Illinois Medical District) so I wanted someplace close where I can go during my lunch break.

Marc came highly recommended by a friend, so I made the appointment. Marc is great! We talked about my injury, my goals, and how we’re going to get there. He did a great job focusing on my needs and tailoring my recovery to fit me.

I’m happy to say that after two months with Marc, my shoulder mobility is almost back to... Read more >

Had great sessions with Marc. He helped strengthen my shoulder and improved flexibility in a progressive manor. He was very thorough and clearly explained what areas needed work and the mechanics behind the exercises that helped get me back to playing high quality tennis on a routine basis. He is very friendly and kind and I recently referred my wife to him as well. Thanks Marc and the very helpful staff! Read more >

So happy I found Free Body Physical Therapy to help with my neck and shoulder chronic pain to a car accident injury. I worked with both Marc and Vanessa, who are patient and always listen to my needs and preference. Even though I hate exercise, they were able to design a low impact treatment plan that worked!
Kenny, office admin, was always super helpful when it comes scheduling, getting any documents I would need for my insurance claim.
I was sad when my treatment concluded, like seriously. Totally recommended! Read more >

I started PT with Marc 7 mos. ago, after years of chronic low back pain. I'm virtually pain-free now, and Marc helped me treat a litany of other inter-related musculoskelatal issues along the way. I feel like a new human! And I have a better understanding of how to prevent and heal future injuries. Read more >

Marc is great. One on one, very flexible with scheduling, speaks Spanish, just all around great environment. Kenny and William are awesome front desk staff. I was in a motorcycle accident with some fractures. I was in a wheel chair but now thanks to Marc I’m walking, lifting, squatting, and feeling great. Free Body Physical Therapy is where it’s at!

My experience with Free Body Physical Therapy was great! I have had chronic back pain for a while so I sought treatment at Free Body. Their telehealth system worked great and I was able to get treatment that helped reduce my pain while staying at home during the pandemic. They had a strong focus on reducing my pain through building strength which I enjoyed because I was able to learn how to properly do things like squat and deadlift which I can use to continue to build strength even after treatment has ended. I would recommend Free Body to anyone that asks. Read more >
