Testimonials

My experience at Vitality Women’s Physical Therapy during and after pregnancy was incredibly helpful! The focus on women’s care made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly welcomed. The physical therapists are friendly, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about pregnancy and postpartum needs. My sessions with Jana, focusing on pelvic floor strengthening and exercises, made a real difference — helping me through labor and delivery, easing postpartum recovery, and even relieving some of my pregnancy symptoms.

I had struggled for years with uti like symptoms and other mysterious symptoms in that area. I had been to so many doctors and tried so many things. Eventually I was referred for pelvic floor physical therapy. It’s seemingly helped a lot and knowing the issue was my pelvic floor muscles and I’m not crazy really helped my peace of mind. The therapists were very nice and willing to explain things.

Dani is a great teacher and she always helped me creatively and flexibly to address my concerns. I cannot recommend Vitality PT more highly!

I had a fantastic experience! I can for pelvic floor PT as part of my postpartum experience and received fantastic care.

Katie is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in all instances. Even when I didn’t realize something that was bothering me could be addressed, she had a solution. Her techniques and exercises are consistently easy to remember/recall in the moment and incredibly simple to integrate into everyday life. I’ve never once felt uncomfortable or pressured if I had a week where I wasn’t as diligent doing exercises – it’s been an incredibly positive experience. Plus, she’s easy and fun to talk with while going through our sessions.

I always felt comfortable and cared for.

Dani at Vitality Women’s Health was instrumental in my postpartum recovery. After the birth of my first child, I felt overwhelmed by the recovery process, but after my first appointment I was relieved and confident in our treatment plan. Dani is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and provided a tangible treatment plan for recovery. I went from constant daily pain to no pain at all over the course of treatment. Dani is also so flexible and understanding of the challenges of being a new mom, accommodating a virtual session when needed and designing exercise programs that had the care of a newborn in mind. I will absolutely be coming back during and after my next pregnancy, and strongly recommend Vitality!

Dani was a great help to me when I was experiencing issues with bowel movements. She explained everything thoroughly and has a great bedside manner. Thanks to her, my problem is now resolved and I can complete bowel movements comfortably.

I have had sessions with Katie and she was wonderful each session. They listened and included me in my plan of care. They were very thorough and provided information during each sessions. They were eager to answer questions and provided much education during my sessions.

I mostly saw Katie and she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and empathetic. I highly recommend both her and the practice.

Hannah Lasky saved my life! She is kind, courteous,caring, professional, and light hearted. In a space that focuses on discomfort her level of thoughtfulness and knowledge brought me back to my normal level of comfort both physically and emotionally. I forever grateful!

Helped with all my aches and pains.along with making all my pelvic floor problems mostly go away

I’m so grateful to Katie and the Vitality team for helping me restore my body to its optimal condition after pregnancy, labor, and a c-section. I feel confident that I have been given the tools to keep my pelvic floor and core healthy.

My experience with Vitality has been great! I was always challenged and it was great working with Katie. I’m very happy with my progress over the past 4.5 months.

My experience at Vitality has significantly improved my quality of life! I had constant lower back pain after having two kids, nursing, babywearing, picking them up, etc. The treatment plan that Dani put together involving stretches, strengthening exercises, and pelvic floor therapy helped SO MUCH. She helped me understand how certain muscle groups were connected and what types of stretches and exercises would help relieve my pain. During our sessions Dani helped me feel safe, comfortable, and empowered. I now recommend pelvic floor PT to every woman I know who has a baby. (And even if you are years postpartum like I was…it’s never too late!)

Great first PT experience. Vitality therapists were supportive, nonjudgmental, and very helpful.

I am so thankful a friend recommended Dani and Vitality to me. I experienced a grade 2 cystocele after the birth of my third baby. After a negative experience at a different PT Practice, I began treatment at Vitality. The doctors there were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Dani empowered me on my healing journey to understand my body better. I began experiencing dramatic decrease in symptoms after only about 4 sessions with her. She was incredibly patient and clear. I really “got” what I was supposed to be doing because of how well she was able to explain. She had a great bedside manner that was a mixture of nonchalant (which eased my anxiety; for example, “ok! We can work on that.”) and attuned to me personally which made me feel like she took my case as seriously as I did. I really appreciated that. Lastly, I had the opportunity to have an appointment with Kay as well one week when Dani was not available. I recommend that to anyone doing treatment at Vitality. Kay and Dani are totally different and therefore I had a bigger range of ideas and tools to draw from as I work on my birth injury. I will never forget you all and your part in my post partum healing. Thank you!

My experience with Vitatility PT was completely positive and benefited me greatly. My therapist Katie was excellent. She was knowledgeable and attentive, and always made me feel comfortable. I did not think I would be able to make such progress in only 4 months. It was because she tailored the therapy to my personal needs, and provided multiple resources and strategies for overcoming hurdles along the way. I only wish I had learned of Vitality PT many years ago.

Dani demonstrated exceptional competence. Upon entering Vitality, I experienced considerable anxiety, but she promptly alleviated my concerns from the outset and guided me through our journey until the end. I highly valued her expertise, professionalism, and support. As a result, I depart with significantly increased confidence compared to when I began.

My experience at Vitality Physical Therapy was excellent! I had been experiencing abdominal pain for years and it suddenly got sharper and was affecting my whole lower body. My PT took my pain seriously and built a customized exercise plan that really changed my whole experience. I am not in fear of pain anymore and when I have slight pain I know how to avoid it escalating. Dr. Lasky is amazing, I really recommend the whole office based on my experience! Sami from the front desk was also great!

Pelvic floor PT changed my life!! All the staff is so knowledgeable, kind and understanding. I never felt judged and felt like someone finally understood how I felt. I highly recommend this place!!

Highly recommend to all postpartum women!

I am so grateful that I found Vitality. I was having pelvic floor issues, and Jana fixed all of that for me. She listened to my concerns and customized the treatment plan accordingly. I was skeptical that it wouldn’t work, but she proved me wrong. Jana was invested in ensuring I have the best possible quality of life. Jana knows her stuff and creates a very healing environment. Vitality is the place to go if you’re looking for great service and healing.

My experience at Vitality was amazing. My PT was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I learned how to manage my symptoms in my own and feel confident in my ability to do this. I would not hesitate to recommend Vitality to anyone in need of help with their pelvic floor.

I had a great experience here! They were so helpful and understanding.

Danielle was the BEST! I came to her after a hip surgery that had some lasting complications and she stuck with me every step of the way. Then what I got pregnant she was a wealth of knowledge and made me feel so prepared. I am so sad to be moving away and won’t have Danielle by my side until the baby is born. If you are considering trying this type of therapy, don’t think twice. Miss you already Danielle!

Vitality was the perfect place to work on my physical therapy concerns. The office was easy to reach and communicative, and got me in immediately to see a provider. I loved working with Jillian and the improvement after a few sessions was amazing. Vitality helped through billing complications and were always courteous. Overall my experience was wholly positive – the treatment was effective and accessing service was easy and efficient.

I’ve learned a lot from the knowledgeable therapists to relieve my pain and build up my confidence. They’ve been super nice and helpful.

I highly recommend Vitality Women’s Physical Therapy for those experiencing pelvic floor pain. I especially recommend Hannah! Hannah was patient, knowledgeable, and consistently made me feel comfortable. She always checked in on my progress at the beginning of each appointment and always made time at the end to review what my “homework” was going to be for the next few weeks. She gave me realistic home-exercises that fit my schedule and didn’t overwhelm me. She provided me with tools (exercises, stretches, etc.) to utilize when needed which makes me confident going forward now that I’m done with PT. My experience with Hannah was essential to my recovery.

I highly recommend Vitality to anyone looking for pelvic floor therapy. I had my daughter over a year ago and I hesitated about booking physical therapy because I look after her full-time and I didn’t think I’d be able to commit to going to appointments regularly. When I did eventually book with Vitality (specifically with Dani, who is so so kind, knowledgeable, and professional) they assured me it was no problem to bring my baby. I ended up bringing her to almost every appointment and everyone was so understanding about it. It ended up being really easy! Dani was a great physical therapist and my issue cleared up much more quickly and easily than I anticipated. She made sure appointments and at-home exercises were realistic for my schedule. I encourage anyone who thinks they could benefit from therapy but is hesitating because of concerns about childcare or time to call and set up an appointment!

The most incredible group of women! Hannah played a critical role in my pregnancy and post c-section recovery. She is extremely knowledgeable and works to find multiple solutions to any issue. She genuinely cares about her patients and does a fantastic job of making you feel comfortable throughout every appointment. Four months postpartum I am well ahead of where I thought I would be and I can attribute all of that to Hannah and her expertise! I am already looking forward to my next pregnancy knowing I get to be back in the care of Hannah + The Vitality Team!

I found Vitality Therapy so easy to work with. I loved the team and the office staff and the treatment was so effective.

I had an exceptional experience with Hannah at Vitality. Post partum, I experienced extreme lower back pain that resulted in difficulty in walking and playing with both of my babies. This lead to significant feelings of frustrating and depression and coming to see Hannah was such a game changer. She helped me get back on my feet (literally) and work through all of the pain through stretching, strength work and breathing exercises. Very quickly I noticed a difference and over the course of three months I was able to go from very limited mobility to limit free exercise again (running and Peloton). I am so grateful for the patience and encouragement I received and for all of the tools and program provided to me to help me get my strength back. I would highly recommend Vitality to anyone looking for pre or post partum care!

My experience with Dani was positive. She was reassuring and knowledgable about my issues and laid out a clear plan that I was able to put into everyday practice at home. I feel more at ease knowing that I have tools in place to work on what I need.

Hannah created a comfortable environment to address my needs and set me up with a great exercise plan. She helped me with issues during my pregnancy and made me feel prepared for delivery, and then helped me recovery from my c-section after. I can’t recommend her and Vitality more!

Vitality did an amazing job of addressing my pelvic health issues.Getting pelvic therapy here was a world away from the usual awkward gynecologist trip-my therapist made sure I was comfortable and felt like an active participant in my care.

Dani was incredibly helpful with supporting me after giving birth. I was experiencing discomfort while urinating and some leakage. She helped me slowly build my pelvic floor and ab muscles. I no longer have any pain or leakage. She also allowed me to bring my baby to all of my appointments and was incredibly patient when I needed to tend to her. It really helped me be able to make every appointment while I was on maternity leave.

Vitality Clinic really helped me figure out what was going wrong in my pelvic floor. I had so much pain that felt like it had erupted out of nowhere, and no doctors could seem to figure out what was causing it up until I found this office. My treatment involved developing muscular coordination and strength and releasing tension through a variety of different exercises. I learned so much about how to manage my condition, the physical therapists at Vitality are incredibly knowledgeable about the body and they take special care to walk you through all of the information, often providing visual aids.

I had a wonderful experience at Vitality Women’s. I started in my second trimester and my therapist walked me through exercises that kept my core and pelvic floor strong and stable throughout pregnancy. She also helped my prepare for birth and then post C-section provided support and exercises that sped up my recovery and allowed me to get back to normal activities/exercises. Super grateful to my therapist and team here!

Vitality was truly vital during my pregnancy and postpartum experience. The team at Vitality was professional, passionate, knowledgeable, and personable. I had a lot of pain and discomfort during and after pregnancy, and my therapist had so many techniques to ease and heal my pain.

Katie is incredible. She’s an excellent listener first and foremost. She’s thorough and insightful — she helped me look at the big picture regarding my condition. This approach helped me identify other out-of-balance areas in my body and life. Working with Katie has been a gift and I’m thankful I found Vitality!

This clinic is great! Super friendly, warm staff. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help!

I came here with pain during intercourse. The pelvic floor therapy was recommend by my Obgyn and throughout the months, I learned how to breathe and relax my pelvic muscles. I can say that my pain has improved a lot. I’m thankful that I found this place and have learned all these techniques.

My experience at Vitality was very positive. I would highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with PTs at both the Lakeview (Dani) and Elmhurst (Kay) locations for support after having my 2nd baby and prepping for a 3rd birth. Not only did they help alleviate some pelvic pressure/discomfort, but they helped me strengthen and prep my PF, leaving me feeling more stable and confident heading into my 3rd birth. Thank you Dani and Kay!

My pain issues were resolved more quickly than I expected. I was experiencing pain during sex after giving birth and was really concerned with being able to get back to normal activity.

“I injured myself several months after I had an emergency c-section and had the good fortune to find Vitality and Katelyn. Katelyn was a dream: a wealth of knowledge and information about how to heal my core and care for my scar after the surgery that saved my son’s life—information I never received from any of the doctors or nurses who cared for me throughout my pregnancy or in the hospital.

By and large, postpartum care in America is an absolute joke but Vitality is doing incredible work to mitigate this problem. Even if you haven’t injured yourself or experienced any major issues postpartum, I’d highly recommend seeing someone here a few weeks or months after you give birth. Pregnancy is hard on your body and they are committed to helping you heal quickly and healthily. “

Vitality Women’s PT has excellent therapists and provide quality care. I am very thankful to have worked with two extremely knowledgeable PT’s. They helped me mentally and physically postpartum. Without them, I would not be where I am in my postpartum journey!

Dr. Katie was fantastic to work with and helped my daughter. We had a wonderful experience!

My visits at Vitality were incredibly beneficial and helped me become stronger and more confident in my body after having a traumatic delivery of my first child. I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to any woman who is experiencing a similar situation or has any other physical therapy needs! Thank you, Katie!

Katie has been absolutely wonderful! I experienced significant pain after my second daughter and Katie listened thoroughly and created a plan for me. She made the entire experience very comfortable and I would definitely recommend to a friend!

Hi! I just submitted comments on the Patient Satisfaction Survey about my work with Dani that you are absolutely welcome to use as a testimonial.

I highly recommend Vitality for pelvic floor physical therapy. After giving birth, I was feeling a little disappointed that my pelvic floor needed some strengthening. However, my therapist was amazing in explaining why this happens and how this is common for women. I felt listened to and learned a lot about women’s health. This information I learned is vital and should be discuss everywhere, so I was shocked when I had recently heard of this. For example, pelvic floor PT being recommended DURING pregnancy and only only after giving birth. I would come back to Vitality in the future if needed.

Katie was absolutely fantastic. Patient, kind, informed and tailored the whole experience to the needs of our family. I really couldn’t give a high enough recommendation for the clinic and Katie in particular. We are eternally grateful for the knowledge Katie imparted on us as well as the skills she gave our son when it came to pelvic floor and potty techniques. We knew nothing going into this and had been struggling for 2.5 years with our kiddo – and we are leaving 3-4 months later equipped with tangible exercises, goals, and reasonable expectations for our son and his progression. All thanks to Katie. The practice is also adaptable and integrated telehealth appointments to accommodate our schedule.

I had never even heard of Pudendal Neuralgia before I was hit with it earlier this year. I came to my first session at Vitality feeling very anxious and I was met with empathy and understanding from both of my therapists at Vitality. They allowed me to ask a million questions and understand what I was experiencing and how treatment would go in a way that made me feel heard and comfortable. I’ve since learned that pelvic floor pain is a tricky thing to work through but we this team guiding me I never felt like I was doing it alone. After 5 months of sessions I’m happy to report my Pudendal Neuralgia is well managed and I’m feeling much more in control of my health.

After 2 decades of past physical therapy with over 8 different providers I’ve finally found relief I never thought I would. The pelvic floor PTs at Vitality helped me accurately diagnose my pain and develop a functional treatment plan that has changed my life. No kidding! I’m super impressed & grateful for their expertise.

I had gone to pelvic floor PT before but the experience was totally different to the one I had here. Here it was a well rounded educational program where I was able to understand what I was doing and why it was important.

I was skeptical before arriving at Vitality. I had been struggling with incontinence for years and thought I was resigned to wearing progressively bigger pads for the rest of my life. I’m relatively young and active so the issue was also negatively impacting my mental health. Katie was amazing. Her energy eased all of my anxiety about the very personal appointments. Not only did she help me resolve my own physical condition but also shared a lot of other great information that has helped my whole family. She is a fountain of knowledge and a kind soul. I highly recommend Vitality, especially Katie.

My experience at Vitality was great. I came in with pelvic pain after baby number 3. Katie helped identify where my pain was coming from on day 1 and came up with a plan. Everything was very in depth and helped full body recovery . i am very pleased and highly recommend Vitality!

Katie helped me be more self aware and mindful of my issues and teached me on how to managed my pain.

I had a very beneficial experience doing PT at Vitality. Katie was thorough and thoughtful in creating a plan to help my pain. It was easy to book appointments and pay bills. Overall a great experience.

Kate was exceptionally kind and perceptive towards my experiences. I felt comfortable in all my sessions with her and she always addressed all my needs. The clinic staff has been nothing but helpful as well. I appreciate the flexibility for the types of appointments you can have. Thank you Vitality for everything!

I had a great experience with Dani. She was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Would highly recommend for all your pelvic floor needs.

I am so happy and thankful for my experience at Vitality and with Dani, and wish I came in sooner! After a couple years of dealing with pelvic pain, Dani provided so much useful education and treatment that immediately started helping my symptoms. I’m so grateful for her patience and all the work we did, and am feeling fully confident and more independent!

Vitality helped me to prepare my body for the birth of my first child and to recover after she arrived. Of all the healthcare providers I saw during this time, they were the most attentive and considerate of my individual circumstances. They helped me to understand the rapid changes that were happening in my body and to get my strength back and start running again. The front office staff also handled all of the insurance and made the whole process run simply and smoothly.

Dani was an incredible therapist. She normalized and validated my experience at every visit. She was super creative in her approach and addressed any and all questions I had. My improvements were quick and measurable. I really enjoyed working with her!

I’m so grateful for Hannah L. and all I learned with her at Vitality! It was so helpful to have a teammate to process, learn, and strategize with. Working with Hannah L. made me feel really supported and cared for; it helped me build my own confidence in my body, body’s responses, and my own ability to manage symptoms. Thank you so much Hannah L.!!!

I had struggled for years with uti like symptoms and other mysterious symptoms in that area. I had been to so many doctors and tried so many things. Eventually I was referred for pelvic floor physical therapy. It’s seemingly helped a lot and knowing the issue was my pelvic floor muscles and I’m not crazy really helped my peace of mind. The therapists were very nice and willing to explain things.

I had been to several PTs in the past 6 months in an attempt to resolve my hamstring tendinopathy, but finally got relief coming to Vitality and working with Katie! She addressed the hamstring issues and also helped me incorporate and think about my pelvic floor muscles. I’m so pleased with my progress and that I am able to get back to triathlon training, daily life skills, and work without pain! Thank you:)

I highly recommend Vitality Women’s PT. Katie taught me to tune into my body and provided techniques to prevent issues I was experiencing. Vitality Women’s PT is very professional and Katie provided education I didn’t even know existed. I will definitely recommend Vitality to my friends and family.

Katelyn has helped me tremendously. I came in with severe pelvic pain and with her knowledge and expertise I am now pain free. She is so knowledgeable about women’s health issues. She has given me so much insight on how to manage my pelvic pain issues. She has also recommended products that are now part of my daily routine. She was so dedicated to helping me get better that she has helped more than my doctors have.

Overall an awesome experience, I felt heard and any issue I brought up was tended too! Katie was knowledgeable.

Vitality Women’s Physical Therapy helped me reach and surpass all the goals I set to achieve when joining. By providing a thoughtful treatment plan and sharing helpful tips Dani’s expertise exceeded all of my expectations.

I had an amazing experience with Vitality. I came in with regular pelvic floor symptoms/pain and within a few months those symptoms greatly reduced. Danielle was professional, informative, knowledgeable, and explained things in an easy to digest way. I completed my PT with new tools to manage symptoms and I’m so impressed with the care I received.

I absolutely loved my time at Vitality PT! I worked with Hannah and she was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I made so much progress throughout my time there and she gave me many tools and resources so I could maintain my goals even after discharge. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!!

The Vitality staff helped me to an extent I didn’t think was possible. I feel so much better, no more pain. I got my (sex) life back!

I loved my experiences at Vitality. I thought there was no hope for my pelvic pain and I was proven wrong in the best way by leaving with little to no pain that I suffered from before.

My experience at Vitality Women was absolutely amazing. My physical therapy experience was 8 weeks long and it help me grow so much.
