I have nothing but great things to say about Evolution Physical Therapy. It is easy to find and plenty of parking. Most importantly the entire staff works extra hard to mend your health issues and make you feel comfortable at the same time. I have been seeing them for quite a while and I have been treated better than any other Therapy sessions I’ve had in the past. Jackie was awesome.

Brian Wolfe was my Physical Therapist in 2014 before and after total knee replacement. I went back to Brian recently for discomfort in and around me right Gute muscle. With both experiences the goal of PT was to return me, now at current age 77, to full activity, including skiing, swimming laps and Pickleball.Mission accomplished both times. Though the therapy was at times tough and not pain free, Brian maintained a way of quietly nudging me forward. His cheerful personality, his listening to me and his expertise in knowing just what exercises I needed led to my complete return to being active. Several months after total knee replacement at age 70, I was back on the ski slopes out West. After a couple of weeks of Glute rehab, at age 77 I am back in the lap pool and on the Pickleball courts.

I worked with Jackie after breaking my foot. She’s wonderful - really listens and gave me great exercises to do at home that targeted my issues. She managed to make the entire experience fun! I would recommend her and Evolution Physical Therapy in a heartbeat.

I have seen Kelly and Brian for 2 different issues. Both times they were able to see me very promptly, assess the situation and treat me effectively. They gave me a program I could do at home too! I highly recommend!

Great PT if you want an athletes approach to getting back to normal - they will be as aggressive with recovery as you ask and keep the exercises fun and constantly evolving!

Started to come here for my scoliosis pain. The three physical therapists here are all amazing. I’ve worked with all of them at this point. Different techniques but all work. My everyday pain has lessened. Everyone is super friendly and they make you feel very comfortable. It isn’t your typical physical therapy office. Love coming to see Kelly, Jo and Melissa each week. So glad I came here!

My husband recently couldn’t sleep all night and made an appointment with Dr Kelly Wolfe. He came home not only completely out of pain but an inch taller, larger chest and a smaller waist. It was truly incredible that Dr Wolfe in one session could not only take all the pain away but fix his posture. My husband has seen her again and will see her again Monday. He calls her the “ goddess of miracles”. I plan to go see her as well and I recommend anyone who has a husband that cant take pain to go see Dr Wolfe.

I started seeing Brian and Kelsey at the beginning of the summer with hip and back pain that was relentless for over 6 months prior. At the start of treatment, I was having trouble walking and could barely run to the end of my street. After going to sessions throughout the summer, Im now able to run 8+ miles and I can run daily again. Everyone here is extremely kind, knowledgable, and supportive, and Im very grateful for all of their help!

Im a member of Dynamic Athletics so after I had my second total hip replacement surgery, Evolution seemed the natural place to rehabilitate.What I learned since becoming a client is that the quality of care and the expertise of the therapists, specifically Kelly Wolfe, has been top notch and has exceeded expectations.Kelly is incredibly knowledgeable about what I need to get better and she has literally helped me walk again. Additionally, Kelly is caring, kind and one of the most encouraging therapists Ive ever met. I actually enjoy going to PT because of Kelly!

Kelly has been working magic on me. I went to see her with one problem and she quickly figured out there were a host of problems that were contributors. While the time is always a challenge, I leave feeling better than I did when I walked in. I can’t ask for any more than that!

Tom Hendrickson was a fantastic PT who helped me get back on track with my running! Tom is excellent at what he does and catered to my needs exceptionally well by providing the proper exercises to treat my lower back pain.

Brain and Kelly are fantastic. They have great attitude and are very professional. Brian will learn new things and the excitement you see in his eyes as he wants you to do the movement, gets you right in the zone too. They both have helped me immensely with my mobility and its only getting better.

Brian helped me with alleviating back pain that I was experiencing over the course of 3 years. In a matter of weeks, Brian was able to effectively treat my chronic back pain which is something multiple doctors, injections, and MRIs could not solve. After 6 weeks with Brian, I was able to perform exercises at the gym that I avoided for years. He is very knowledgeable and customizes a PT plan based on your specific goals. Thanks Brian!

I dont have enough good things to say about Brian! He is extremely knowledgeable, and helped me immensely with my TMJ issues. He is super flexible with scheduling and willing to work around your hours, and he really spends his time with you to make sure you get the most out of your session. I would recommend Brian highly for any PT you might need!

Recommend Tom (TJ) Hendrickson at Evolution Therapy very highly. Had intense arm pain which was mainly gone after two sessions - and then taught how to do exercises at home to go along with treatment.

Brian is a tremendous physical therapist whos thirst for knowledge did not stop once graduating. He is always learning new techniques and skills, to which, he provides his clients with the best top notch care. He has helped me with shoulder mobility/shoulder issues and I cannot thank Brian enough. He is very personable, very easy to talk to, will explain everything and break it down so you know exactly what he is talking about, and will follow up to make sure everything is okay.

Brian do an excellent job treating my rotator cuff injury and also clearly explained exactly what was going on in my shoulder so that I really understood how and why each exercises worked. This kept me motivated . Hes just great!

Brian is a top notch physical therapist. He is extremely competent and knowledgeable of the latest medical and industry techniques, and tailored my therapy program based on my personal goals. 3.5 months after my knee replacement I climbed a 14,000+ mountain in Colorado with my teenage sons. No way I would have been able to accomplish that without Brians focused assistance and motivation.

I have long struggled with lower back pain. I wanted to try strengthening my body with Crossfit, but unfortunately pushed myself too hard in the first couple classes. I re-injured my lower back BADLY and reached out to Brian for help.Brian was extremely personable, and right off the bat in our initial conversation he asked me what my goals were. This was extremely refreshing as most physical therapists simply get right into the exercises to help you recover, but Brian had acute interest in my long-term goals and how my back pain has prevented me from reaching them.From the very first session (I had about 6 total to get me back to a happy, confident place) he was giving me tips and tricks to managing real-world, unpredictable back pain scenarios - ways in which I could achieve instant relief or prevent my lower back from seizing up on me in a moment of trauma. To me this type of information is invaluable because it gives me the required tools to operate confidently in day-to-day operations and workouts.Brian can use very simple techniques that involve body control and holding certain positions as ways of rehabilitation. He can use moderate techniques of massage to help work through trigger points and overall zones of discomfort. And he has the knowledge to perform advanced techniques like needling, which help to stimulate blood flow to damaged areas to promote and speed up the healing process. I had Brian perform all of the above processes on me and was amazed at the results.Brian is a very active communicator so he is always available for questions and guidance. I will forever be his patient and his pupil =). Thanks Brian!-Adam

Kelly was instrumental in helping me resolve my plantar fasciitis pain! She listened carefully and was very professional in her evaluation. She gave me stretches and exercises to do at home which helped me tremendously. Kelly explained how to find proper foot wear to prevent a recurrence and to help me recover more quickly. Thank you, Kelly! I highly recommend Evolution PT!

I tore my ACL playing lacrosse and soccer at post university and underwent a lot of physical and emotional stress. When I was able to get back up on my feet, I was looking for a trainer in my town that could get me back to shape and even better than I was before. Immediately when I talked to Brian he knew what to do with me and set up a game plan that would help me strengthen my knee and prevent future injuries. I am currently in season for soccer at post and if it wasnt for Brian and his wonderful care, I wouldnt be where I am now. If you are looking for someone who will be dedicated in you and your work, Brian is the right guy for you!

I have known Brian and Kelly for a brief time, but the knowledge and skills they have implemented in my daily routine has made what was before constant pain a thing of the past. In less than 3 months not only can I perform daily activities pain free, but they have offered solutions to continue to improve my mobility. As a crossfit coach I need to be able to demonstrate movements in classes, and also be able to remain active with my energetic 6 year old son. If you are ever on the fence for a medical opinion please contact them. Whether its something as easy as stretches for a warm up to a serious medical injury, these two know their stuff!!

Wow Brian did an amazing job in helping me with some neck pain from an accident. He followed up, instructed on what was the problem, provided homework (exercises) to solve the issue and quickly got me back into form.

Review №39

I had a double knee replacement. After coming home from the rehabilitation center Brian Wolfe acted as my home physical therapist. I found him to be extremely diligent in laying out the work necessary for me to get back to full strength. Week after week he provided me with insights as to where I was along the path and what I would need to do to get to the next level of strength and mobility. He evolved the exercise and therapy routines in a way that created an incentive for me to to work towards the next goal. His approach was superior to other rehabilitation professionals I had experienced in the past primarily due to the clear plan he laid out and the individualized manner in which our routines were being tailored to my progression within that plan. I will use him again if I need rehabilitation int he future.

I fractured four cervical verterbrae (C4-C7) in a June of 2016 in a bicycle riding accident and was out of commission for about five months. In my arduous road back to full health, I tried several physical therapists until I started working with the best physical therapist I have encountered anywhere. Brian Wolfe is head and shoulders better than any physical therapist I have worked with and is a big reason I have made a full recovery from my accident. I am back to competing in squash tournaments and have full mobility in my neck due to Brians outstanding physical therapy sessions. I cant thank Brian enough for his outstanding commitment to his patients and his profession. Thank you Brian!

I had the good fortune of finding Brian 3 years ago when I had right shoulder rotator cuff surgery. He was very knowledgeable and helped a lot with my recovery. Last year I had the same surgery on my left shoulder and again Brian was a very important part of my recovery. Thanks to Brian I lost minimal range of motion on my shoulders. Thank you Brian for the help and dedication. Nidia.

My experience with Evolution Physical Therapy has been incredible!When I came to Evolution PT I had driven 16 hours from the Chicagoland area to visit my Daughter and her family in Darien. I had just been diagnosed with a slipped 5th vertebrae in my lower lumbar and had pain in my gluts, hip, leg and numb toes and pain in my heal and side of my foot.Evolution’s Physical Therapist, Brian Wolf, gave me two simple exercises to do throughout the day and within a couple of weeks had eliminated the pain in all but my foot. Throughout the next few weeks of adjusting those exercises and adding some core building exercises now even my foot pain has greatly reduced and the numbness has diminished as well.We are on our way back to Chicago now and I am looking forward to a “pain free ride” home!Thank you Brian and the Evolution Team for bringing me so far in so little time and have given the tools to continue to be pain free !

Dr. Wolfe is absolutely amazing. He always answers all of my questions and concerns and provides feedback on how to fix things and what steps to prevent them. I had horrible lower back pain that stopped me from being able to workout let alone sit at my desk. After a couple of sessions with Dr. Wolfe he explained why it was happening and how to fix it. He showed me stretches I need to be doing and how to fix my lower back problem. I can now not only sit at my desk without any pain I can complete full workouts without having an issue!! Check this guy out hes great!

I had a persistent, very specific problem with my shoulder. Ive tried all sorts of things to deal with it and finally got a platelet shot and my MD prescribed 3-4 mos of PT. I dont have much time and asked my doctor to recommend someone who had a mobile practice. He recommended Brian Wolfe and boy was that a great recommendation. Bryan was simply terrific ... great communications with me, my doctor, and my trainer -- getting us all on the same page. He would come to my home or office depending on what was going on that week and was 100% reliable and on time and a pleasure to deal with. He also really knows his stuff ... I was really impressed by his depth of knowledge and his commitment to education and explaining (to me) what was going on inside my shoulder and why the stuff he was doing and making me do made sense. Ive already referred him to one colleague who had a knee replacement and undoubtedly will be referring him to many more in future.You cant go wrong with Brian -- he is terrific.

Can’t recommend him enough! I went to Dr. Wolfe for chronic hip pain. After years of PT and limitations in what I could do at the gym, Dr. Wolfe found the problem which was actually in my lower back. He gave me the tools and exercises to get back to doing movements I’ve avoided for years and get back into crossfit.

After my motorcycle accident, I heard all the typical PT = Pain and Torture from friends and relatives and I was a bit hesitant to start physical therapy. I couldnt have been more wrong. Brian is extremely personable and knowledgeable when it came to PT and your particular patient needs (he listens!). I was unable to drive and he provided PT in-house and worked around my schedule, and he was always flexible. He gradually worked in new shoulder stretches and techniques that focused on proper form and strength, and 5 months post-op I can already do push-ups and planks! As an OCR athlete full range of motion is very important, Brian ensured that I learned everything I need to continue to improve my mobility and his excitement for physical therapy is infectious. I have learned so much working with him. Thank you Brian!!

I have been through the ringer more times than most 27 year olds. As a former professional athlete, I was brutal to my entire body for years. Injuries? You name it - Ive done it. Ive had a screw placed in my scaphoid; Ive torn my ACL/MCL in my left knee; Ive torn my ACL/MCL and meniscus in my right knee (twice!); Ive had my labrum reattached in my shoulder; Ive fractured my L5.While Brian has not been my physical therapist for every injury that I have had, he still remains in a league of his own in my opinion. Not that I dont think highly of the other doctors that I have experienced, I just always find myself going back to him for reassurance. He has improved me mentally, physically, and emotionally. He knew exactly how hard to push me to keep me motivated and constantly working to better myself; he never allowed me to settle for less than what I could achieve.More so than that, the man is just a genuinely great human. He isnt overly aggressive, yet he doesnt let you give up. He is thorough with his work and one of the most educated people I have ever met. His passion for health and the human body remains to be unmatched. Anyone who is unfortunate enough to NEED to see a physical therapist, should consider themselves extremely lucky if they get to work with him.I would give him 6 stars if Google allowed it.
