Contingency Physical

Therapy PLLC

Mobile therapeutic massage, dry needling, joint manipulation & mobilization,
 physical therapy, workout optimization, adaptations & wellness practice.

Serving the city of Chicago up through the Glenview area.

Call me when nothing has worked for you, call me when you’re lost.

The Approach

My goal is to permanently resolve all your complaints of pain, numbness, stiffness, weakness, dizziness, imbalance; to address your goals, wellness concerns and anything preventing you from living your best life, a fulfilling life.  And if I can’t help, I will help you find who can.

Most therapists or doctors take multiple sessions to get to the root of the problem. Our longer sessions help us go into detail & achieve in 1 day what may take others weeks.

I take great pride in my work and it is my goal for you to not need therapy in the long run, to need the fewest number of appointments possible. Come see me if you’re trying to avoid surgery and regular physical therapy has not helped.

I bring to you far more than what is available in most clinics. See below for a complete list of all equipment, services and conditions treated. Some of my clients use appointments outside of normal business hours, weekends, evenings & beyond.

Many use our sessions to address complex sources of pain or dysfunction, or multiple body parts utilizing many things including dry needling, joint manipulation, strengthening, balance training and others.

Some utilize wellness services like massage, guided breathing, kickboxing, workout optimization or strength & conditioning.

A phone call is free and required to see if we should work together and to set up an evaluation.

For this mobile practice we do not take insurance, which lets me prioritize your complaints & not what is or isn’t covered. We can focus on optimizing your life. We do work with workers compensation to ensure you recover from your workplace injury as fast as possible.

Appointments are $300 for sessions up to 2 hours and you can be treated in your home, office or anywhere else we have permission to treat.

You can also find me at Telos Physical Therapy where we are in network with BCBS PPO & medicare, all other plans out of network benefits apply; or $120 for 1 hour appointments.

If you have questions, call or text or call me at 312-883-6228 or email me at   joe@contingency.pt or check out the FAQs page.

Reach out to me if you value your time. Reach out if you’ve already tried everything or if you don’t want to have to try everything on your own.
