I had a great knee replacement recovery process at Lakeshore Physical Therapy. Kate Marconi is the best Physical Therapist I’ve ever worked with over several years. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and kind. The location in Lakeview is spacious, full of light, minimalistic, and has Pilates equipment. I highly recommend this fabulous place of healing!

Great facility and awesome staff. 6 sessions with Kate and the lingering back pain I had been dealing with for 2+ months was fully alleviated. Kate also provided a full set of exercises (with tutorial videos) to incorporate into normal routine exercise to help keep future back issues at bay. Excellent experience.
Response from the owner 20:35 09 Oct 25
So happy to hear you had a positive experience with Kate!

I came to Kate for help with chronic achilles tightness, and was impressed by her approach to PT. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and offers thoughtful guidance on balancing workouts for someone who wants to prevent major injury. Thanks to her, I’ve become much more mindful about how I care for my body—she’s diligent, expanded my exercise rotation, helped me improve my form, and I felt more informed about the benefits of physical therapy. Her commitment to education and her ability to connect treatment to longevity and self-management goals is what sets her apart.
Response from the owner 20:35 09 Oct 25
We are so happy you are feeling better and Kate was able to help you.

I've worked with Hannah on three separate injuries, and found her to be a wonderful person to work with, with a great combination of knowledge and compassion. She does dry-needling, which was incredibly helpful for a calf injury, and she helped me completely recover from a knee injury with exercises and advice, even down to the granular level of a better way to get off the bus! Cannot recommend her enough. I found the scheduling to be easy and the Lakeview location is light and airy-- a good atmosphere to recover in.
Response from the owner 20:34 09 Oct 25
Thank you for this kind review and we are glad you liked the Lakeview location.

The first and most fundamental question to be answered in reviewing any physical therapy service has to be: did the therapy bring the patient back to health efficiently, effectively, and pleasantly?
I’m in my 80s, and over a period of some four years I came to Lakeshore PT with a varied list of problems unsurprising for my age and my habit of vigorous daily exercise; the problems ranged from backache and vertigo, through hip pain and a frozen shoulder, to a sore hamstring and balance.
Each and every time I worked with Julia, Kevin, or Hannah, they resolved my issues with professionalism, compassion, and efficiency. Since my last consultation with Hannah a few months ago, I’ve been exercising vigorously, alternating with a rowing machine, a spinner bicycle, weights, and a treadmill, while working in between the New York Times series of intensive interval exercises and jogging a few times a week. I’ve been feeling absolutely great, and I’m reassured that it will continue because Julia, Kevin, and Hannah provided me with instructions on a series of PT exercises that I can use to address any issue that starts to pop up.
Bottom line: Lakeshore PT is top notch.
By the way, although my review focuses on results as the primary consideration, rest assured that in other regards, Lakeshore PT means quality, for example its highly pleasant and efficient administrative staff and its crisp, clean facilities.

A huge SHOUT OUT to Hannah Vasil for coaching me through a painful shoulder injury! She knows her stuff, and is patient and eager to share her vast knowledge. After assessing the problem, she taught me the proper exercises to strengthen weak muscles, and now I’m pain free and so forever grateful for her help. Thank you, Hannah!
Response from the owner 19:23 25 Mar 25
Thanks for this kind and thorough review Peg. We agree, Hannah is the best!

Genuinely can't say enough good things about Kate and Lakeshore Physical Therapy. Came in for about a month and a half. I had never done PT before so I didn't really know what to expect. The one on one care I got with Kate was amazing and better than anything I could have ever expected. She helped me get back to full strength and in the process taught me so much about exercises not only to prevent re-injury but also a ton of exercises that I now use as part of my everyday gym routine. In addition to her being a great physical therapist she's also just an awesome person that makes 7am physical therapy sessions enjoyable. I also couldn't believe that I found myself paying less for one on one care than I would at other places with PTs that would treat multiple patents at once. Can't recommend Kate and Lakeshore enough.
Response from the owner 17:03 08 Jul 24
Thank you for your kind words Joshua. We are very glad Kate was the right fit for you and our business model served you well!

I love this location! Kate Marconi was there for me right as I came out of a fractured Calcaneus(Heel Bone) and repaired by ORIF Surgery. I was non-weight bearing for 8 weeks. Kate got me back on two feet and I looked forward to being with her 3 times a week! Not to mention the location made it easy for me to get to!

We are glad the Lakeview clinic was convenient for you and nice work on your recovery!

I started with Lakeshore PT after getting a lower back muscle strain from a workout. From the first session I felt very comfortable with Kate. She explained exactly what the issue was and made sure I understood. It was clear that she was very knowledgeable, and she came up with a very clear plan on how I could get back to normal. I also was really happy with the transparency around the cost and billing process (which is rare in healthcare here in the US!). Overall, it was an amazing PT experience and I would definitely recommend for any injury!

A friend of mine recommended Lakeshore Physical Therapy so I went in to get treatment for the pain in my left hip that just kept getting progressively worse. Kate M. was my PT and she was amazing! After just a few sessions, the pain started to diminish. You have to be consistent about doing the exercises though! I was relieved that we could resolve the problem and that it didn't involve something more intrusive like surgery. The booking/canceling of appointments is pretty easy too. If you are experiencing pain, go to them first!

I showed up to Lakeshore PT in September of 2024 in a ton of pain, quickly losing my ability to comfortably live day to day life. After trying many modalities to decrease the lower back pain I was experiencing caused by a herniated disc, I was pointed in Julia Glick’s direction and she quickly became the North Star in my recovery. She always took time to listen to me, adjusted the weekly appointment based on how I was feeling, and offered so much insight and intelligence. Her approach to physical therapy is unique and custom. While surgery did end up being in my cards, she quickly pivoted to help me prepare for the procedure, and then we were on a new road to recovery. Not only did she help me physically, but she also helped me regain the confidence to trust my body again. On top of helping me get back to living life, I’m now able to do physically challenging activities I love such as running, cycling, and lifting. Julia is sacred and must be protected at all costs, but I won’t gate keep her. There’s no way I’d be where I am today without her. Thank you x1000000

Thank you so much Kate! We are so happy she was able to help you get back to doing what you love. And we will protect Julia for sure 😉

I worked with Dr. Kevin Hill, PT, for six months to prepare for and recover from, Hip Replacement Surgery. He is extremely knowledgeable and reliable and pushed me with a well planned and effective exercise program. Thanks to Kevin, my recovery included strength, flexibility, balance, and conditioning and got me back to my regular exercise routine after 3 months.
Response from the owner 19:12 08 May 25
So happy to hear you are doing well. You and Kevin worked very well together.

I can't say enough good things about Lakeshore PT. I've been a client for decades and have seen at least 8 different therapists following multiple joint replacement surgeries. Each therapist has been professional, insightful and compassionate. Sally Fansler, who owns Lakeshore, has the highest standards for the therapists she hires. You won't find this level of expertise at the big chain therapy centers.
My latest therapist, Kate, recently identified the cause of a back problem I'd been living with for many months. I was doing stretches and exercises I'd done in the past, but was not seeing improvement. I really thought it might be chronic, but Kate identified my problem immediately (a crooked pelvis) and gave me some simple exercises to straighten it. I only had to see her once after that.
Lakeshore is the gold standard for physical therapy. You don't have to live with pain.
