I had an incredible experience working with Marc. He was able to pinpoint the root causes of dysfunctions that had been accumulating over many years of rock climbing. He provided me with exercises and a detailed plan that has allowed me to find my strength again and return to the rock. Extremely welcoming and professional environment. I highly recommend to anyone.

Earlier in 2020, I got a bad tear in my medial meniscus (as if 2020 couldn't get any worse!). This required me to get a meniscectomy knee surgery and I've been seeing Marc for multiple months twice a week to rehabilitate. I am almost fully recovered and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have been able to do it without Marc as my therapist. He and his team (Kenny rocks!) have created a warm and inviting atmosphere that I always look forward to coming too. And the best part about Marc is that he always laughs at my jokes (I'm not sure if he does this for all his patients but I'm going to chalk it up to my excellent sense of humor :)). I hope I don't face an injury like this again, but if I do, I know I have an awesome place to return to. I highly recommend Free Body for your physical therapy needs! Read more >

Marc is amazing, he taught me exercises to help with my hip and back pain and now I’m pain free! Also telehealth (video physical therapy) is free for blue cross blue shield members so all my sessions were totally free of charge! Highly recommend making an appointment today! Read more >

Marc is a unicorn in the world of physical therapy. Prior to seeing him, I had done 4 different runs of PT for various things throughout the years. Often, that entitled a PT who would spend 20 or so minutes with you and then send you off to do strength work by yourself or maybe with an assistant. Marc is different. He spends the entire time with you, both doing physical manipulation, stretching and strength work. For me, it made a TON of difference to have someone really spending that time to help me understand my body and it’s quirks. Also, Marc has an amazing bedside manner- he is kind, curious, open and always made the time fly. Would recommend him to anyone, he is the best I’ve worked with. Read more >

Marc is a great PT. He's friendly, extremely knowledgable and doesn't waste your time. I had a weightlifting injury from several years back that had flared up again. After working with Marc once a week for just over a month the issue was completely resolved. I would recommend him to anyone in Chicago. Read more >

Free Body Physical Therapy was an awesome experience! I was experiencing knee pain from poor lifting form for about four years, and it was such a relief getting to work with Marc. He clearly explained each component of what we were doing and where he believes my knee pain stems from. Marc provided accessible exercises to do at home so that I wasn't having to go into the office frequently. I did both in-person and virtual sessions, and they were equally effective as well!

Through consistency with my exercises, I feel significantly less pain in my knees and am much more aware of where to strengthen my body to prevent future knee pain. I am confident that I do not have to live with chronic knee pain due to my work with Free Body.

I highly recommend Free Body for a peaceful, effective physical therapy experience. Thank you Marc!! Read more >

Marc is a phenomenal PT with great attention to detail. I have been to two locations of a certain large chain twice before after car accidents that gave me whiplash (and I had decent experiences), and my experience with Marc and Free Body blew them out of the water.

I have some complicated chronic pain issues (chronic migraines, occipital neuralgia, and chronic neck pain). I have been to 4 neurologists and a pain medicine doctor. I've had bilateral occipital cryo-neural ablation at least 4-5 times, and my pain med doctor brought up implanting a neural stimulator in my spine and the back of my head. Needless to say, I wanted to explore EVERY option prior to that.

Marc was great at getting me in quickly to do an evaluation to see what the presenting issues were and the proposed course of action. He shared that in IL, you can now get 10 sessions of PT without a... Read more >

Marc and Free Body Physical Therapy are awesome! I visited his office for some shoulder discomfort and he helped me to strengthen some of my secondary muscles in order to help with shoulder mobility. He has amazing knowledge of muscle groups and explained my injury in a clear and effective way. His office is calm and soothing and I enjoyed my time with Marc. He's my go to PT and I would recommend him to anyone I know! Read more >

Huge thank you to Marc with FreeBody Physical Therapy! I called him after a run that I took that created a pinched nerve. The pinched nerve made me experience a tingly feeling in my legs which was close to unbearable. He was super receptive to my concerns and jumped on a Telehealth (like: Skype or Zoom) call the same day! He walked through the issues I was experiencing and gave me exercises to do to help alleviate the pain and solve the problem. He checked in with me a week later to give me advanced exercises to continue my progression which have been super helpful.
Marc is helpful, knowledgeable, and sincerely cares about his clients and it shows!! Thank you!! Read more >

Marc certainly knows what he's doing. Marc understood my situation and was able to instantly provide some relief to my knees and provided constructive tips and exercises that I could easily do at home to improve my tightness. I was pretty concerned I had some damage in my knee and as Marc likes to say- he will do everything he can to keep you out of surgery and that his goal is to make you have to not come back :) Read more >

Dr. Marc was able to deliver results that I wasn't able to achieve at other PT clinics. I had a successful invasive microdiscectomy surgery, but had a few relapses in the year following. Through hands-on manipulation and training Dr. Marc was able to give me lasting results, that I hadn't had before, within just a few months of work. He also listened well, took notes on each visit and my results, and tailored his approach as we worked through my issues.

Especially helpful was that Dr. Marc gave me a program to work on at home every day so I could keep up the work between visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Marc to anyone recovering from surgery or just for more general wellness. Read more >

Marc is a great physical therapist. I am a swing dancer and tore my calf muscle at dance practice... Two days before leaving for a vacation to Greece with my mom. Two friends recommended Marc. I reached out and he fit me in last minute. He's helped me progress over the months and tonight I did an aerial (getting thrown into the air) at my dance practice!!

Marc is very knowledgeable, will explain things thoroughly (what the exercise is working, how it's helping, what the goals are). He's also very non judgemental and patient. There were times I'd tell him I didn't do my exercises (for whatever good or bad reason I had) and instead of finger wagging and telling me to just do them, he said, “okay, then let's find exercises that are easier for you to get done so you'll do them." I felt I had a partner in my recovery, not just someone telling me what to do.

My experience going to Dr. Marc was amazing! He was extremely educational and prepared me with ways to continue to treat and prevent future injury. Highly recommend!!! Read more >

Marc offers a 1:1 collaborative PT experience with a thorough problem solving process to target individual problems. I have had both upper and lower back pain for years, and am on my way to feeling pain free within a few months. Marc does a great job breaking down the various exercises and is clearly very experienced and skilled with all of the manual therapies as well. Read more >

I've seen a lot of physical therapists in the past and never felt like a) I was being paid attention to (due to more than one patient at a time) and b) the work they were doing and the exercises they had me do never actually helped.

When I injured my shoulder (combination of too much volume lifting and overuse) I knew I had to try someone else. I could barely reach over my head and let alone attempt to put my hand behind my back. I read these reviews and booked an appointment with Marc. He is the real deal.

Every session helped significantly, he was very personable, you get his attention for the duration of the appointment, and at the end of the day after a few sessions I was making progress by leaps and bounds.

If you feel like you're grasping at straws and nothing seems to be helping you regain mobility or limit your pain, come to Marc, he'll... Read more >

Marc is incredibly professional and down to Earth! I came to Free Body on the recommendation of an orthopedist after a 16 year old knee injury (that I never did anything about) started to act out. I'm a relatively active person and had never been to a physical therapist before.

Right away, he narrowed down some target areas to strengthen/stretch and showed me the differences in terms of strength and flexibility between my "bad" and "good" legs. I came away from several sessions with manageable exercises, a plan to build on those exercises, and a mindset to keep things simple and easy. By the time the weather breaks into Spring, no doubt I'll be back running on my knee! Read more >
